VIDEO: Aston Martin Rapide Sports Sedan Filmed in Kuwait

You never know when or where you're going to stumble upon a prototype model these days. This time some folks spotted a thinly disguised Aston Martin Rapide test car on the roads of Kuwait. Apparently the British automaker was performing hot climate tests on its forthcoming four-door sports sedan that is planned to get its first public outing at the Frankfurt motor show in September.

First seen at the 2006 Detroit auto show as a prototype model, the production Rapide is almost identical to the 196.9-inch-long concept study. Due to go on sale in the beginning of 2010, the Rapide is powered by a 6.0-liter V12 engine which is rated at 480HP, and linked to a six-speed ZF automatic transmission with Aston's Touchtronic control.

Lagonda Concept Crossover Live Photos and Video from Geneva

If there's one thing most will agree upon is that Aston Martin's conceptual attempt to revive the Lagonda brand with the blandly named Concept was one of the top attention-grabbers at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. However, this was mainly due to the Concept's controversial (to say the least...) styling and because no one actually understood what the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class-based vehicle represents - Is it a sedan? Is it a crossover? Is it a mix-mash of ideas? If you're imaginative enough, maybe you can answer that question by following the jump to watch the video from the unveiling as well as live photos from Aston Martin's stand.
