Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain-side airbags, and front-side airbags. The Rapide’s standard features include leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, navigation system, wireless cell-phone link, and 1,000-watt Bang & Olufsen audio system. Among the options are cooled front and rear seats, dual-screen DVD entertainment, and distinct wheels and trim. This evaluation of the 2010 Aston Martin Rapide is based on a brief test drive.
