Aston Martin of Dallas To Debut New Rapide Sports Sedan
2010-03-03
Aston Martin of Dallas, the number one dealership for sales of new, as well as pre-owned Aston Martins in North America, will debut the fantastic new four-door Aston Martin Rapide sports car tomorrow at the Dallas Auto Show. Unveiled at The Frankfurt Auto Show, the Rapide arrived in North America in February and Dallas is among the few auto shows it will appear at this year.
“Nothing makes a statement like an Aston Martin,” said Kurt Fegraeus Managing Partner at Aston Martin of Dallas. “The Rapide offers the exhilarating thrill of a high performance Aston Martin sports car with the added functionality of four doors. It’s perfect for enjoying a spirited drive or taking a group out on the town. Representing pure Aston Martin design and craftsmanship, we look forward to introducing the exciting new Rapide to North Texas.”
During the show, the public will be able to see the four-door sports car’s power, elegance and functionality first hand. The car’s evocative, powerful 6.0-litre V12 engine is connected to the specifically tuned six-speed ‘Touchtronic 2’ automatic transmission which allows them to change gear automatically or manually via the steering column-mounted paddles. This Rapide features four ‘swan wing’ doors, which provide access to cosseting hand trimmed leather sports seats both front and rear. With a spacious luggage compartment, the Aston is a handcrafted sports coupe which is perfectly equipped to be enjoyed by drivers and passengers alike.
Aston Martin of Dallas was founded in 2000 and within a year became the third most successful Aston Martin retailer in the United States. Their team is legendary for creating a premium buying and ownership experience. Their expertise and philosophy helped make it the number one dealership for sales of new, as well as pre-owned Aston Martins in North America during 2009.
The dealership works with each client to tailor a new or pre-owned Aston Martin Rapide, V8 Vantage, DB9 or DBS to their tastes, much like buying a suit from Seville Row. An Aston Martin of Dallas sales consultant helps each customer select from a menu of interior choices, paint hues and performance options. The result is a car that truly expresses the new owner’s style.
“We’ve been very adept at matching clients to the Aston Martin that best fits their taste and needs,” added Fegraeus. “We’re excited about adding the Rapide to our stable of fine Aston Martins because it will provide another choice for our customers. Its combination of power, beauty and soul should make it a hit in North Texas.”
