Aston Martin Rapide Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2010–2013) — First Generation
The first-generation Aston Martin Rapide combines grand touring character with a liftback body, giving you a more versatile way to carry luggage while retaining the appeal of a performance-focused luxury car.
One powertrain offered in the Aston Martin Rapide is the 5.9 AT, pairing a gasoline engine with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The automatic reduces your workload in traffic, while the drivetrain sends power to the rear wheels and leaves the fronts to steer.
