RE: Aston Rapide Footage

[Alfanatic]

I agree the suspension did not look completely under control. The rear of the car seemed to be bouncing up and down a lot. Yeah it's probably been driven around at it's limits, but it's not the first video I've seen of a car on the limit at the Nurburgring, and this one specifically looked very bouncy. Perhaps as suggested earlier, it's just something in development still. In one of the shots it looked like the rear end pogoing might possibly coincide with downshifts under braking, but as I have no sound I couldn't be sure.

Looks quite nice too, though I agree that the Quattroporte does it better.

It looks little different to how it was at the Genevea Show in 2006, although I doubt it still has the built in chess set and champagne cooler in the boot!

Out of curiosity I checked the reg out with DVLA and it doesn't come up at all ( www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk ) so it looks like AM are driving this car around on fake plates.....
