📌 Overview

This 2012 Aston Martin Rapide is a rare, well-preserved example of the brand’s elegant four-door grand tourer, finished in black over a luxurious interior and powered by a naturally aspirated 5.9-liter V12. Showing just 32,268 miles and offered by a private seller, this car has had two owners and was previously cared for in Japan, where it received meticulous attention. It remains in original condition, with rust-free bodywork—including the underside and wheel arches—and is accompanied by full documentation and factory manuals.

Under the hood sits a 5935cc V12 engine paired with a manual transmission—an uncommon and desirable configuration for the Rapide. Mechanically, the car is reported to be in excellent condition, with no outstanding issues. The engine delivers smooth, refined power, and the drivetrain has been preserved with care. The rarity of the manual setup adds significant appeal for collectors and driving enthusiasts alike.

Finished in classic black, the paintwork remains in excellent shape, showing consistent gloss and depth across all panels.
