Austrian-based Magna Steyr just made waves at Geneva with its Mila Alpin Concept. It’s notorious for creating four-wheel-drive cars for BMW, Chrysler, Saab, and Mercedes-Benz.
Now, Magna Steyr uncovered its lucrative contract to build the Aston Martin Rapide. The company will dedicate a facility in Graz, Austria to assemble the four-door coupe. Production will begin in the last quarter of 2009, producing 2,000 units annually, according to Edmund’s Inside Line.
AM executives said they have decided to contract out the production of the Rapide because the automaker is near reaching capacity (8,000 units) at its Gaydon, England plant. They accredit that to the success of the DB9, Vantage, and the all-new DBS.
