I may have to trade in my Maserati.
Sorry--that should be: I would possibly have to trade in my Maserati if I owned a Maserati so that I might buy the new Aston Martin Rapide, if only I could afford an Aston Martin Rapide, which I clearly cannot. But a guy can dream.
The 2010 stunner gets its US debut at the New York Auto Show starting March 31, and you might want to buy your Metro-North tickets now--this one's going to attract a crowd. Are you sitting down? Here are the specs:
The Rapide boasts a 5.9 liter V12. Result: 470 horsepower at 6000 rpm and a full 443 foot pounds of torque. And she doesn't come cheap. Sticker price will be something on the order of $199,950, meaning I might just stick with my Quattroporte after all. (I mean, my imaginary Maserati, that is)
