When Aston Martin unveiled the Rapide concept in 2006, it signaled a bold — and for some, controversial — new direction: a four-door grand tourer. Yet, the production Rapide, arriving in 2010, proved an elegant solution to the demand for a more practical Aston Martin, without sacrificing the marque's quintessential beauty or performance. Built on Aston Martin's renowned VH platform, shared with the DB9 and DBS, the Rapide was an engineering marvel, extending the platform to accommodate two rear passengers in surprising comfort. It was a direct challenger to the Porsche Panamera and Maserati Quattroporte, but with an undeniably more exotic, handcrafted British charm. The 'S' variant, introduced in 2013, brought a significant power bump and a restyled front fascia, solidifying its position as one of the most compelling luxury performance sedans of its era. This 2016 Aston Martin Rapide S, with 41,341 miles on the odometer, exemplifies that blend of handcrafted luxury and formidable performance. Under its long, sculpted hood lies the iconic 5.9L naturally aspirated V12 engine, delivering a sonorous and potent driving experience through its automatic transmission. The sweeping fastback silhouette, finished in an elegant hue, remains as striking today as it was upon its debut, hinting at the performance capabilities within while maintaining an air of sophisticated understatement. For the enthusiast seeking a truly distinctive grand tourer, this Rapide S offers an unparalleled combination of exclusivity, V12 power, and timeless design.
