Frankfurt auto show

Aston Martin Rapide
Aston Martin is set to unveil its new Rapide four-door sedan at the Frankfurt auto show.
The car will go on sale in early 2010 as the company's first true production sedan.
The production car stays true to the eye-catching concept, which debuted at the Detroit Auto Show in 2006.
The Rapide will be powered by a 470 hp, 6.0-liter V12 engine built at the company's engine factory in Cologne, Germany.
Magna Steyr in Austria will build the Rapide. It will compete with the Porsche Panamera and the Mercedes-Benz CLS.
