In 1961, Aston Martin introduced the Lagonda Rapide. A four door GT car, the Lagonda Rapide was created to be a car equally enjoyed by both driver and passenger. The car is powered by a 4.0L straight 6 engine, and is highly capable on the road. Designed by Touring, the Rapide is not only beautifully appointed on the outside, but equally so on the inside. A special order-only car, just 55 examples of the Lagonda Rapide were built when production ended in 1964. Rare, exclusive, and carefully overseen by Aston Martin owner David Brown, the Lagonda Rapide holds a unique place in Aston Martin's history.
