The Power of Luxury

The Fusing of Form and Function 

Assertive, confident, bold and yet perfectly proportioned, Rapide S has a purity of purpose that belies its broad capabilities. That strength of character is infused into the details that define Rapide S. Details like the assertively styled full-face aluminium grille and elongated side gills that hint at the power within.

BREATHTAKING PROPORTIONS

The ‘Golden Ratio’ sits at the heart of every Aston Martin. Balanced from any angle, each exterior line of Rapide S works in concert and every proportion is precisely measured to create a lithe, pure form. Our engineering follows the same principle. A near perfect weight distribution ensures Rapide S is balanced in form and balanced in function.

HONED FOR PERFORMANCE


It is not just the outright pace of Rapide S that makes it so imperious, but the way it is deployed. Developed to fully exploit and perfectly complement the tremendous reserves of accessible performance, the Rapide S advanced suspension and braking systems are paragons of control, power and precision.

When driving alone you will love the way the Adaptive Damping System (ADS) delivers true sports car handling, yet when comfort is a priority it effortlessly assumes the role of the consummate luxury car.

The ‘Golden Ratio’ defines the form and luxury defines the detail. A jewel-like side-strake, machined from aluminium, sculpts the side of the car, whilst each bonnet louvre is cast individually from high-density zinc. Rapide S takes our exquisite exterior detailing to new heights of finesse.

EXQUISITE DETAILS

IRRESISTIBLE LOOKS

The Aston Martin grille is world-renowned, instantly recognised and instantly respected. Rapide S goes further, we designed an assertive full-face grille as a bold reimagining of our time honoured design cue. Machined by hand from aluminium, this imposing grille gives Rapide S an inimitable front profile. But we didn’t stop there, our engineers ensured that this grille doesn’t only look stunning, it’s also the largest production grille in the world to meet pedestrian protection requirements.



Stunning Waterfall
Fascia Design

Rapide S incorporates an elegant, waterfall fascia, intelligently engineered to incorporate the latest technology. This bold design statement is the perfect centre piece to a magnificent interior space and can be customised in a range of materials.

Three choices bring even greater flexibility. The engineered precision of Iridium, intricate Satin Cuprum Carbon Fibre or the lighter, more individual Piano Ice Mocha are a natural fit with the extraordinary Rapide S.

SENSORY INDULGENCE

Rapide S uses more leather than any other Aston Martin in history. Thousands of unique colour combinations and a wide range of finishes make each Rapide S bespoke to its owner.


Unmatched craftsmanship.
Supreme Comfort

Aston Martin’s long history of bespoke, hand-made luxury is palpable in the fine execution of every detail inside the Rapide S. Using the finest leathers, a vast array of woods and other luxurious materials, each cabin is crafted by hand with passion and absolute precision.

For example, in an embroidered ‘AML’ logo there are over five thousand stitches applied to create the desired finish.

An interior of exceptional quality means travelling in Rapide S is to travel in pure comfort. It’s a cabin clothed in the finest materials. Swathes of Bridge of Weir leather work in harmony with wood and carbon fibre detailing to create an environment where every detail has been specifically designed for luxury.

Exclusive in design, enticing in experience, Rapide S – the power of luxury.
