Aston Martin Rapide S (2015)

The Rapide was not the first four door car made by Aston Martin - that was the Lagonda - but this is the first Aston Martin badged four door saloon. Far from being a stretched DB9, the Rapide is a car in its own right, designed to chauffeur its occupants around in a high degree of luxury. But when the Rapide S appeared in 2013, the car was now much more of an aggressive animal.

 

This Rapide S is in the very smart specification of Meteorite Silver with an Obsidian Black leather interior. It comes with a sizeable options pack including a rear seat entertainment system, ventilated front and rear seats, an alarm upgrade, auto dimming rearview mirror and the Bang & Olufsen Beosound Audio system. For such a big car, the reverse parking camera system and proximity alarm comes in very handy. With such an options list, long distance journeys will just melt away.

 

The V12 was given an upgrade over the standard Rapide to 560bhp and coupled to the new Touchtronic III 8 speed automatic gearbox, this car eats up the miles in rapid but sublime comfort. Although a four door, the exhaust note instantly tells you - and onlookers - that this is a very serious performance car with 0 - 60mph coming up in just 4.2s and ultimately reaching 203mph.

 

With a mileage of 36,273, this Rapide S has a full Aston Martin service history via Stratstone of Mayfair and more recently by marque specialists Chicane. It is in excellent condition and ready for a new owner and passengers to enjoy immediately. The car is presently subscribed to a Vodafone tracker system and in June 2020, the car had four new Bridgestone Potenza Sport tyres at 28,000 miles.

​

This Rapide S is available for viewing and demonstration by appointment only. For peace of mind as a new owner, this Aston will be sold with a full pre-sale inspection by Chicane and 12 months MOT. Full details available on request.
