| ![]() hi guys just spent the morning with these 3 beauties. please do pardon my photographic skills and also the lack of any write up as of now, as i am still trying to find words to best describe the v12 growl. a brief : test drove the rapide today morning. floored it all the way, and ohhhmyygoodddd!!! didn't have an iota of an idea that a saloon can be so fast. didn't try the out the dbs OR vantage S, as the road conditions aren't fit for them. missus got to floor the DBS yesterday in a closed hall - what can i say?!?! and my nephew (the kid in the pic) got to floor the vantage S in the porch - he was ecstatic to say the least, and i was made to wonder why in the hell have they put in a bang & olufson music system in a car which has a mozart (or roger waters, or led zep, or AR Rehman) right under its hood. |

| ![]() Wow!! No words to even comment on this, but the keys look really classy. I've always wondered what keys of supercars look like :P |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Is it the same set of cars traveling throughout the country? I have spotted the same three beauties in Chennai and a fellow BHP-ian spotted them in Bangalore and put up the pics in Bangalore Imports and Exotics thread. |

| ![]() probably but not too sure how many have driven the particular rapide yet. it's apparently the dealership owner's personal ride. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() While I'm not generally an Aston fan, the rims on the DB9 look wonderful. You are really lucky to have driven a massive V12 like that, I'm still waiting for my chance ![]() |

| ![]() @saanil and shortshifter my nephew is slightly pissed. he says "mama the car was NOT in neutral - it was in that "P" mode - please tell your friends!!" @mayankk the experience was out of this world - it felt like i am super man looking at the world from way high up above (though the car was quiet low slung - but felt like superman none the less) @flying spur the car indeed is a beauty and shows off to the entire world how a super car manufacturer can make a luxury car without killing the identity of the brand. if i had that kinda moolah to splurge, i would have definitely wanted the rapide purely because of it's drivability and practicality. the car's ground clearance is 136mm - so it can be taken to most of the places and most of the speed bumps quiet comfortably. |

| ![]() I can sell my soul to the Devil to own one of these! As for the V12 growl, there are few videos in YouTube, just do a Google Video search. :-) |
