"From what we gather, the test car must be one of the final prototype models of the four-door Aston that is scheduled to be officially revealed to the public at the Frankfurt motorshow in mid-September. The undisguised prototype is finished in a menacing black color with a contrasting red interior.

Poised to take on any top-notch sport sedan including the most powerful variants of the Porsche Panamera, the Rapide will be offered with a 6.0-liter V12 engine that churns out 470bhp and 600Nm of torque. Power will be driven to the rear wheels through a six-speed ZF automatic transmission with Aston's Touchtronic control.

The Rapide that will be built by Magna Steyr in Graz, will begin arriving at Aston Martin showrooms around the world in early 2010. As for prices don't expect anything lower than $200k.."

that's sick.

[Lomac]

While I do like the design of their current coupes, they need to venture out and explore some new exterior designs.

[Culture_Vulture]

looks like the same thing with four doors..

[ilvtofu]

neone think the back is a bit too tall,
oversized headlights too..

still a nice ride, but had they just taken the vantage and extended it I would've liked it too. Vantage is still my fave car

[orange7]

i'd rather take a 2 doors instead of 4

[shenmecar]

looks like a stretched out Vantage

[Ludepower]

sucks for the car washer cleaning those rims

[ilvtofu]

if u can afford this car you don't wash your own wheels neways,

Seems like it has a greyish effect too so they'll probably be less prone to getting dirty

[The_AK]

looks like the same thing with four doors..

thats what i saw,
then i was like "OH ITS A MIND FUCK, 2 extra doors!" :eek:
however, bricks were not shat

[Timpo]

I like it but the Fisker Karma is pure sex.

[124Y]

[maxx]

[TRD3000GT]

It's not build in U.K....

[Sp3cial_K]

lol i didn't even realize it was a 4 door until someone mentioned it


who makes fisher karma? never heard of it. it looks good, probably the best of those 3 but its probably cuz of the full window tint.
any car with full window tint looks like its going faster

fisker automotive is their own company, i think (still) based in california.

you might have seen their coachwork stuff, such as the Tramonto (rebodied SL merc) and Latigo CS (BMW 6 series)... google it :thumbsup:

[ilvtofu]

I like the quattroporte even though most RSers don't
But the fisker Karma is definitely pure sex, and my favourite out of all these exotic sedans

[hal0g0dv2]

are all exotics coming out with 4 door

[skyxx]

^Cause the "Financial committee"(Wife) won't allow us to buy 2 door exotics. Plus insurance is cheaper!

[orgasm_donor]

62% better looking than the Panamera. But the 2-door is 76% better looking than the 4-door.*





* Using statistics compliled in my mind.

[Harvey Specter]

The Tesla model S is pretty nice and pretty cheap.

except for Ferrari??

[Benz_05TSX]

Fist her all the way!!!!

IMHO, these high-end car manufacturers are feeling the financial pinch with the rest of the world. Therefore, they design a practical "sports car" to make up some shortfall in sales of their low-end models. Again, this is based upon my opinion only, no actual facts/content.

PS. I highly doubt that a cheaper insurance rate would have anything to do with a purchase of any of the above mentioned vehicles.

[Blue92]

Absolutely :thumbsup: Another beautiful car from the laziest designers in the world.

[!Aznboi128]

[BlackV62K2]

See, I thought the Fisker Karma looked nice from that photo, but then I did a bit more searching through Google.

And came across this...
