Looks great, but I like the front end on the older concept more.

Those headlights in the first image are MURDER! Wow, this car should be put in a museum.

Yep, with a vantage arse.

Love the look, but they could have made it slightly different from the DB9.

Rapide is one car to sought after, its such a looker. I would love to drive it at night and just enjoy cruising around downtown with the windows down whilst listening to cafe del mar and hotel costes tracks.

streetdrift is an unknown quantity at this point

Here are some more "zoom ins", or better said close ups, of that rear view: streetdrift.net: New Aston Martin Rapide renderings showing the rear

Total Panamera killer IMO (design-wise, at least regarding the rear portion)

Can we compare this to the panamera though, I mean they are different price points from what I've seen. I mean the 599 looks wayyyyyyy cooler than a TT but I mean at 3 times the price NO SHIT...

Good point.
Very true for the V6 and the V8 S-version and even the Turbo... However, a possible Carrera-GT-V10-powered Panamera (although unlikely they'll ever make one - but you can always hope

) would be a direct competitor, price wise... But then again IMO, the rumored $400k for the Rapide just seem a little too high, even though it'll get a really nice V12 powerplant

...
