ASTON MARTIN Rapide V12 REVIEW on AUTOBAHN [NO SPEED LIMIT] by AutoTopNL

[@fanmajnekrofta27]

17:55 I actually like those slushy gearboxes when they're paired with a powerful V8/V12 and fitted in a luxurious car. They might not be the best performance-wise, but they sound so satisfying.

[@thatguy1119]

I have the exact same opinion.

[@dannyz955]

1:39 Correction: The Rapide S was actually introduced as early as MY2014. If you are in the market for one, consider MY2015 onwards, because the ZF 6-speed was replaced by the ZF 8-speed which is outright better in all aspects.

[@garsimmulholland4984]

I’m interested in one or a panamera......not really certain which to get, any thoughts?

[@ivanuki3555]

@@garsimmulholland4984 well the panamera is more practical but also more "basic". The aston is more special by far. Also the panamera is fucking ugly

[@silencioish]

Aston Martin is the real gentleman's car ... there is nothing like it... the sound is so unique and u can easily recognise that it's the Aston by hearing the engine around the corner in the peak hour

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

The tachometer needle spinning counter clockwise when it revs higher is very uncomfortable for me

[@fuzzymoo88]

Back in the day, I used to own a D3 Audi A8 w12 & my cousin had an Aston DB9 volante with the same v12 - it was the most beautiful engine, it felt alive & had real character to it which is something the w12 lacked.

[@lucaabs1759]

I love this car and i really think that the car that comes just after this one is the new Vanquish Zagato, same engine that sound incedibly good and just the look of the Zagato is insane

[@Jimbo8012]

@AutoTopNL - You're right on interior space. I'm just over 5ft 8 (1m 74) and sat behind a driver who was 5ft 11 (1m 80) for a couple of hours. Not the most commodious saloon I've ever been but it was far from uncomfortable for me. Had about the same room as a small hatchback in the back. However, anyone more than 6ft (1m 83) would definitely find it cramped particularly if they're behind someone that height or taller. I presume you're in the 6ft 2 (1m 88) to 6ft 3 (1m 91) range?

[@marinerabatel5144]

Magnifique!

[@boomboys9425]

New dream car😍

[@lionsheart9406]

This V12 sounds very brutal and beautiful👍

[@SPHHable]

For the sake of Max saying this Aston makes him horney @ 13:28, I agree with you buddy. Definitely some engine porn going on there.

[@Pinkman1809]

It can only be fate, I just bought this car the SAME WAY OF THE VIDEO on CSR2 Kkkk

[@simoneelmadhoun]

How aston martin has managed to build a car longer than 5 meters with no back seat room and trunk space. Hope they are kidding XD

[@eldelfinstrikesback1732]

V12 need some room xD

[@skelejp9982]

My X308 Daimler Super V8 beats this V12, in Comfort and Acceleration

[@khrhee5]

Thats FMR for ya

[@sd0065]

@@skelejp9982 yeah but it’s a daimler that car is ugly as shit my rapide will smoke it

[@Jimbo8012]

@@skelejp9982 - I've been in both cars. 1) There is no chance that a Daimler Super V8 with a 4 litre V8 Supercharged and 370 bhp beats this for acceleration. It just doesn't. Above 60mph, the Rapide absolutely murders it. From 0-124mph, it's a good 5 seconds slower than the Rapide. 2) The Super V8 might have more room but the Rapide is the infinitely cooler car. No disrespect to you but a Super V8 is just a tarted up X308 XJR with a longer wheelbase and electric rear seats. It looks old, it feels old. It's a car that belongs in the mid to late 1990's and I say that as someone who likes Jags and grew up with them.

[@ShogunHull]

Someone should replace the radio...look at it just flickering non stop. This is alot of car. Totally worth the money. I just looked up the prices for 2010 Rapide V12.. said..between 19,370K to 31,707K. All that savings..can certainly afford fixing an item or two. GORGEOUS CAR. I LOVE IT FOR THE 2 EXTRA BACK SEATS & fabulous V12engine and gorgeous leather. The back seats ALSO FOLD DOWN. YAH.. BIG PLUS.

I noticed there is a lot of Volvo in that Rapide. Indicator stalk, key and retainer on the dash, window switch gear, air vents. Wish my Volvo sounded like it though :( Thanks for another upload Dutchy

[@JonBrownbread]

Always liked the Rapide.

[@muhammedaliakaeinerabernic4831]

Im saving money to buy one i know they need a clutch every 30k miles/50k kilometers (if its a toutchtronic aston martins flappy pattle gearbox) i know that but i only drive 8-10k miles/ 10-15 k kilometers per year and the v12 doesn’t have that many problems its a ford engine you can use ford parts

[@jeffersonsilvademesquita667]

Parabéns! Seu canal é ótimo. Gosto muito dos vídeos. Se um dia eu ganhar na loteria já sei qual carro comprar. 😄😄😄

[@AaronRandolphChen]

Great video Martijn. I think this is the first time you repeatedly talked about being sexually aroused by this car, and personally, I don't blame you one bit. Surprised that you didn't complain about the headroom in the rear seat - is there decent headroom there? Shame about the kneeroom though. Ten years on, this car is still absolutely stunning & has a presence that no other luxury 4-door can compete with, so that is really saying something. What a glorious sound that V12 makes too!
