Rapide, the new four door Aston Martin has been introduced long before its main rival Porsche Panamera, but as the Germans are about to launch their car into the markets, Aston is still endlessly testing the Rapide and delaying its debut. But hopefully it’ll come in 2010. Meanwhile, take a look at these latest pictures of the car in production trim caught in the UK.

As you see the car is undisguised, but the final version could and should be a bit more refined in places. For example, the headlights seem to be very unfit! Not only the shape of body is very similar to the DB9, interior as well shares many parts with the rest of Aston Martin range. 2010 Aston Martin Rapid is powered by a 6.0 liter V12 engine developing 470 hp.
