The Aston Martin Rapide S

The Aston Martin Rapide S

Aston Martin’s choice never fails to disappoint with yet another dazzling machine in the new Rapide S. The Rapide S is described as the ultimate family sports car, with specs suited to give a smooth seamless drive. Aston says they have reduced the noisy wind and tyre roar, and the interior is more luxurious than ever, but fear not, the V12 is still ferociously noticeable by ear and can pull the beast up to 60mph in under 5 seconds. Plus with 4 seats, this makes doing the school run slightly more time efficient.

The model has a strikingly large grill as part of the upgrade, said to improve pedestrian collision protection, but word has it that the upgrade in aerodynamics and design are also aids in counteracting lift at higher speeds. With top speeds reaching 190mph, and a 3 setting Adaptive Damping System (suspension), this is the most luxurious 4 door sports car on the market today.

The Rapide S comes on sale in February at a cost of around £150,000.
