Back in 1961, entrepreneur David Brown owned the revitalized Aston Martin. Having already brought Aston back from the grave, he turned his attention to another car company he owned, Lagonda, by signing off on a new car - the four-door Rapide. Fewer than sixty cars were built before the Rapide name disappeared into the history books, where it lay dormant until 2006, when Aston unveiled its Rapide concept at the Detroit auto show. Rumor has it that Aston CEO Ulrich Bez knew that his old employer, Porsche, was planning the four-door Panamera and that he wanted to beat the Germans to the production punch.
