We've seen the Aston Martin Rapide numerous times, but we haven't managed to get a decent glimpse of the interior - until now.
As this leaked photo most likely from a scanned brochure shows, the Rapide will feature four seats which will be separated by a massive center console that runs from the dash to the trunk. Other unique touches include a dual screen rear entertainment system, individual climate and audio controls for the rear passengers (possibly through an iDrive-like system), and a collapsible bulkhead that offers added cargo capacity.
Set to ride on an extended version of the DB9's platform, the Rapide will be powered by a 6.0-liter V12 engine that produces 470bhp (350kW) and 600Nm of torque. This should enable the car to rocket from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds, before hitting a top speed in excess of 180 mph.
Look for the Aston Martin Rapide to be offically unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, with production scheduled to begin shortly thereafter.
