Mono Wants... Aston Martin Rapide (AKA Aston 4 Door)

"With its Le Mans racing program soon to be bolstered by GT2 and LMP1 entries, and with sales of its ever-so-desirable GTs ever increasing, Aston Martin is preparing to add the four-door Rapide to its production line-up. Aston was anticipated to decide by year's end where the Rapide would be built. Although the company just moved to a new facility in Gaydon, the automaker was reportedly in discussions with a number of smaller contractors – including Pininfarina, Karmann, Magna-Steyr and Valmet – over potentially outsourcing the Rapide's manufacturing".

"Private coachbuilders are all in dire need of the contract.Confirmation that Aston would build the Rapide was one of the first things its new owners did after acquiring the company from Ford".
