AM have
announced that the Rapide will make production in late in 2009. The car has
been spotted testing both on the roads around Gaydon and on the
Nürburgring; videos have been posted on the web by many people. What
is of great interest is that the Rapide is scheduled to be the first
Aston in series production to be built outside of the UK. A deal has
been made by AM with Magna Steyr to build the Rapide in a specialist
facility in Graz, Austria, in a facility based on that already at
Gaydon to be known as the Aston Martin Rapide Plant (AMRP). At this
point in time, it is the intention to produce 2000 cars annually. |
