Video: Aston Rapide tackles Stelvio Pass

Watch Aston's stunning four-door as it takes on the most notorious mountain pass in Europe

By Jack Rix October 2009


We finally got our first glimpse of the production Rapide in Frankfurt last month. But for those who aren't satified by a static display, Aston has released this beatifully edited promotional video, showing the car in high-speed testing on some of the continent's most challenging roads.

It might be the most elegant and practical model in the range. but with power coming from the DB9's 470bhp  6.0-litre V12, there's more than a hint of sports car under the skin. Watch Aston's executive express in action above.
