The Aston Martin Rapide is a beautiful high performance coupe that comes with remarkable grace and poise. While all of us cannot have the pleasure of sitting behind the wheel, we’ve just got something to satisfy the appetites of Aston Martin fans.

The new gallery of high-resolution photos of the new 2010 Aston Martin Rapide are flashing around the autosphere revealing the exotic design ethos of the British sports saloon. We have the new 2010 Rapide sedan posing in different angles and exhibiting four different shades of Hardly Green, Magma Red, Quantum Silver and Silver Blonde.

While you enjoy the Aston Martin showing off its colors, here’s a quick recap of whats under-the-hood. The 2010 Aston Martin Rapide is powered by a 6.0-L V12 engine making 470 hp that delivers a peak torque of 443 lb-ft. The engine is mated to a six-speed Touchtronic 2 automatic transmission that sprints the Aston from 0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds (0-100 km/h in 5.3 seconds) and provides a top speed of 188 mph or 303 km/h.
