If you want to feel like James Bond behind the wheel of a powerful British sports car, but still require room for the kids, your solution is simple: the Aston Martin Rapide. Competing against high-performance sedans like the Porsche Panamera and the Maserati Quattroporte, the Rapide is beautiful inside and out, but what’s really stunning is the 6.0-liter 12 cylinder engine under the hood. Producing 470 horsepower and 443 pound-feet or torque, this all aluminum engine is capable of rocketing this sedan to 60 mph in five seconds. If you’re in need of a vehicle just a little bigger than the DB9 or DBS, the Rapide still shares the styling of its two-door stablemates, along with similar driving dynamics, without compromise.
