Aston Martin Rapide

Aston Martin has returned to one of their historic nameplates for their 4-door Grand Touring saloon.

 

Rapide is the name given to a previous incarnation of the 4-door concept.

 

Built from the Aston Martin VH (Vertical-Horizontal) aluminium architecture, the Rapide includes an additional 300mm within the wheelbase, allowing for another set of doors, and a more spacious 2nd row of seats. The body also adds a tailgate, opening to the roof, to improve luggage capacity and access.

 

The Rapide is powered by a 350 kW version of the Aston Martin 5.9 litre V12.

 

A stylish mode of saloon format luxury, the Rapide as a valuable addition to the Aston Martin marque for those looking for a bit more practicality from their Grand Touring.

 

This lego model has been created for Flickr LUGNuts 60th Build Challenge, our fifth birthday, to the 32nd Build Challenge, - 'God Save the Queen', celebrating automobiles and associated transport from the land of the United Kingdom.

 

This lego model include a lego vee-engine, rear-wheel-drive, and rear independent suspension. The body has four doors, rear liftback tailgate and bonnet (hood).
