This means it easily outperforms the heavier 400 bhp Quattroporte.<\/p>\n<p>The Rapide shares the same underpinnings as the DB9 and proves the the VH Platform is vesitile enough to support two very different Astons. At 4277 pounds, the Rapide is 11.8 inches longer than the DB9, having an overall length of 196.8 inches.<\/p>\n<p>While their are no production plans for the DB9, the rejuvenated Aston Martin brand
