The Rapide S is one of the new jewels from Aston Martin. Naturally, the marque wants to show off its beauty and its ability, but much of where all the magic is found is due to the exterior. The exterior takes centre stage thanks to the four door design of the car. Miles Nurnberger, head of exterior design at Aston Martin says: “it manages to retain the silhouette of a sports car through proportion and sleek lines.” It’s through these sleek lines that the Rapide S stands out. The sports car silhouette is visible through every line and curve on the exterior of the car.
The metal grille on the front of the car is one of the first hallmarks of a true sports car that doesn’t cut down on style for drivers. Nurnberger says: “The improved aerodynamic and aesthetic upgrades both reinforce the sporting nature of the car.” The metal grille of the car gives the Rapide S a lift from just being a performance car to being a sports car and a performance car at the same time.
The front end design of the Rapide S is matched with stronger rear design that gives the car the seamless look that enthusiasts love. From a performance angle, the Rapide S is impressive. When behind the wheel of this car, you will be in charge of a V12 engine. Acceleration from 0 – 60 mph is achieved in 4.7 seconds. With credentials such as these, the Rapide S carves a unique space in the market as being a four door sports car.
