Aston Martin revealed today the racing version of its Rapide sedan, a new car which will compete in the 38th ADAC Nürburgring 24-hour race on 15/16 May 2010. It appears that this is the ultimate test for the car, according to Aston Martin Chief Executive, Dr Ulrich Bez who will lead the Rapide driver team. “This race represents the ultimate final engineering durability test for any sports car – it subjects the car to the toughest possible assessment under public scrutiny, he said.
The new Rapida race car will be close to production standard and will be fitted with essential race safety modifications, a re-tuned suspension, slick tires designed for track use as well as a removed interior trim in order to reduce some weight. Regarding the Rapide, who wants to buy one has to know that the deliveries are starting later this month through Aston Martin’s 125-strong global dealership network.
