The Rapide uses a 4.0 L straight-6 six cylinder double overhead camshaft engine, which would later be used in the Aston Martin DB5.
Other new features included a de Dion tube rear suspension which would find its way into the Aston Martin DBS.

The car has dual-circuit, servo-assisted, four-wheel disc brakes, and most cars were supplied with a 3-speed automatic BorgWarner gearbox.
The exterior body panels were constructed from aluminium alloy over a Superleggera tubular steel frame.
All cars except for the prototype had their bodies constructed by Lagonda.
The interior was upholstered in leather and had a burled walnut dashboard.
