Nice pics. Like you say its a sedan that looks like a sports car. Love the center console in back too, nice touch.

Major Props for the Rapide reveal, Mohammad!
If only Porsche could take design cues from Aston Martin...

I have seen this car in person, its drop dead gorgeous and is a work of art.

I was thinking of trading in my Bentley GT Flying Spur for a rapide, but i was told by the manager at the local dealership that this is a four seater sports car, rather than a saloon; Therefore, I chose not to go for the deal as the rear seating space is quite tight compared to the bentley's.

I would recommend anyone in the market for a four seater sports car to go for the Rapide, this is without doubt one of the best four seater sports car on the market.

Thanks for sharing Mohamed

That is actually the one picture that doesn't do it for me. Look way to "long". Thanks for the review though!
