Rapide S is beautifully styled with exterior detail. A jewel-like side-strake, crafted from aluminum, sculpts the side, while each hood louvre is cast individually from high density zinc.

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

Technology is intelligently presented in the elegant waterfall fascia, which is the perfect center-piece to a magnificent interior space.  A variety of exquisite material choices are offered, from the engineered precision of Iridium, to intricate Satin Cuprum Carbon Fiber, or the lighter, more individual Piano Black.

The interior of Rapide S is crafted from more leather than any other production Aston Martin in history. Thousands of unique color combinations and a wide range of finishes make each Rapide S bespoke to its owner.
