Ulrich Bez, boss of Aston Martin, has confirmed that the Aston Martin Rapide concept will finally become a reality and go into production. The four-door sedan will hit showrooms before Porsche’s Panamera, which is due out in mid 2009. Aston Martin will producing 300 to 500 of the Rapide model and will have a 5.9 liter V12 engine that will push up to 500 horse power. Aston Martin is obviously not accepting any orders yet. Hold your horses. Watch out Panamera.
