Aston Martin Rapide S Video Review by Ciro De Siena


Aston Martin is a brand synonymous with sports cars. The iconic brand has produced some of the most famous cars in history, and was even used by the legendary James Bond.

What then are they doing playing in the four door space? Ciro De Siena from Cars.co.za took a drive in the latest four-door Aston Martin Rapide S to find out.



About the Rapide S

The luxury Rapide S is the latest creation from Aston Martin, with a 6 litre V12 engine... every bit a sports car. 0-100 will be achieved in 4.9 seconds and the car produces 620Nm of torque.

Acura NSX Concept Car ... Wow



Acura (Honda) have taken their time in releasing a followup to the original Honda NSX. Many have begun wondering if they ever would. In December 2011 the announcement came that Acura were working on a concept car and in January 2012 this concept car was unveiled to the world... and what a concept car it would prove to be.

Though still in concept, which invariably means it will change completely, recent pictures of the Acura NSX from the Detroit motor show reveal a car which is jaw droppingly beautiful. Visually it is everything a sports car should be, showcasing a sleak, rounded chassis with beautiful curves, yet the front still appears mean, powerful and somewhat untameable. The back is simple and clean and while not stealing the show, it doesn't detract from the rest of the vehicles uber high standards. The NSX is beautiful to behold, certainly one of the nicest concept cars I have seen to date.



The two door coupe, made from the latest lightweight materials will carry a V6 mounted behind the seats and an electric motor making this car (rather surprisingly from the looks of it) a hybrid! The NSX is rumoured to have 3 electric motors and a new all wheel drive system. This is said to have incredible acceleration while maintaining extreme efficiency.

Production of the all new Acura NSX is not scheduled to begun until 2015, which gives us a long time to wait before we are able to see just what this amazing concept car will actually come out of the factory as.
