Top 15 Cars That Get All The Girls
2. Aston Martin Rapide
Aston Martin Lagonda Limited was founded way back in 1913 by two men named Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford.
Mr. Martin raced special cars near the Aston Hill area in England, and a quick name combination brought the world famous Aston Martin brand into life.
The cars were successful luxury products for several decades, but it was their inclusion in the world-changing “James Bond” film series that cemented the product as an icon for aspiring debonair playboys the world over.
A major luxury item, any Aston Martin vehicle is going to set you back close to a quarter of a million dollars. The Rapide sits at around $200,000, so consider mortgaging a few homes and maybe robbing a bank before you buy one. Aston Martin earned its stripes producing racing vehicles, and the Rapide keeps that legacy alive.
The iconic silky exterior just feels fast, drawing the eye from headlight to tail. It can hit 60mph in about 4.5 seconds. The term “rocket with wheels” comes to mind.
After all, “Skyfall” was an emotional roller coaster for Bond aficionados, but when that missile-shooting, ejector seat-sporting Aston Martin took a rocket to the windshield there wasn’t a dry eye in the theater.
