The Lagonda Rapide was Aston Martin's four-door, four-seat grand tourer (1961 Lagonda Rapide, 1961-1964, built on Touring Superleggera lines) and was later revived in name as the 2010-2020 Aston Martin Rapide/Rapide S. The modern car is built on the VH platform with a front-mid-mounted 5.9L V12 and a rear-mounted ZF transaxle, offering supercar performance with genuine rear-seat practicality. It matters as the only four-door Aston of its era to blend a hand-built V12 and bonded aluminium structure with everyday usability.
A naturally aspirated V12, an aluminium bonded chassis and a Gaydon/Graz hand-built pedigree give it the character of a true Aston while seating four adults. Its low production numbers, Ian Callum-influenced styling and the Rapide's Nürburgring 24 Hours racing outings give it lasting cultural and enthusiast appeal.
