2013 Aston Martin Rapide S<\/h1>\n
\n

The stunning new Aston Martin Rapide S is making its debut with yet more luxury and yet more power on offer in its quintessentially elegant four-door silhouette.<\/span><\/p>\n

The iconic British car maker\u2019s new luxury GT has been sympathetically redesigned andpainstakingly re-engineered to reassert its position as the world\u2019s most beautiful, and beautifully balanced, four-seat sports car.<\/p>\n

Aside from the extensive design and engineering improvements, the luxurious new Rapide S \u2013 which replaces the outgoing Rapide in markets worldwide \u2013 is now even more refined thanks to a range of additions to the four-seater\u2019s sumptuous interior.<\/p>\n

Still instantly recognisable as an Aston Martin, of course, the new Rapide S now boasts an imposing and assertive new \u2018face\u2019, created by virtue of the impressive and striking new full grille.<\/p>\n

Imbuing the new car with an even more sporting, forceful demeanour, the revised front end design is matched at the back by a striking new rear deck profile which includes a more pronounced boot lid \u2018flip\u2019. The aerodynamic and aesthetic upgrades both reinforce the sporting nature of new Rapide S and work to counteract lift at higher speeds.<\/p>\n

Aston Martin Chief Executive Officer, Dr Ulrich Bez said: \u201cThe Rapide S is to me, without doubt, the most beautiful four-door sports car on the market today. This is, very clearly, the power of luxury in action.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe car\u2019s stunning visual appeal is now matched by a much more powerful and yet more efficient engine \u2013 our exceptional new AM11 V12 \u2013 which increases massively both the excitement and performance potential of the Rapide S.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a four-door sports car that uniquely combines luxury, style and sporting excitement in Aston Martin\u2019s most flexible and accommodating silhouette. Purity of proportion and exceptional elegance are mixed with truly sensational dynamic performance \u2013 this is the four-door sports car in its most versatile form and I am sure our customers around the world are going to love it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Engineered to excel<\/h4>\n

Changes under the new Rapide\u2019s skin are comprehensive, with a version of the new AM11 naturally-aspirated 6.0-litre V12 powerplant delivering unprecedented power and improved in-gear acceleration.<\/p>\n

Power from the new engine jumps significantly versus that of its predecessor: up by 17% or a massive 81 PS from 477 PS at 6,000 rpm to a now very substantial 558 PS at 6,750 rpm.<\/p>\n

Peak torque increases, too, up from 600 Nm to 620 Nm at 5,000 rpm. Meanwhile an even more marked improvement in torque occurs lower down the rev range, as pulling power rises by more than 40 Nm between idle and 4,000 rpm with an additional 50 Nm available at 2,500 rpm.<\/p>\n

Naturally, increases in power and torque lead to even swifter performance as befits a four-door sports car. New Rapide S shaves 0.3 seconds off its 0-62 mph time, which drops from the 5.2 seconds of the current car to just 4.9 seconds for the new model. Top speed climbs, meanwhile, to 190 mph.<\/p>\n

The 5,935 cc naturally aspirated V12 boasts race car technology \u2013 developments derived directly from Aston Martin Racing\u2019s successful WEC GT campaign \u2013 to maximise both performance and efficiency. The new AM11 engine thus boasts fully CNC machined combustion chambers and lighter, hollow, cam shafts.<\/p>\n

Dual variable camshaft timing, knock sensing, even the fully catalysed stainless steel exhaust system \u2013 these are all engineering advances developed to preserve the V12\u2019s position as a mainstay of the Aston Martin range.<\/p>\n

The engine is now even more efficient, too. Despite the very significant increase in peak power and torque, the Rapide S is appreciably more economical than before. CO2 emissions drop by seven per cent \u2013 from 355 g\/km to 332 g\/km \u2013 while fuel economy now stands at 19.9 mpg on the official EU combined cycle.<\/p>\n

A product of the latest generation of Aston Martin\u2019s world-renowned VH engineering philosophy, which debuted in 2003, the new car of course benefits from many elements of the current Gen4 VH architecture.<\/p>\n

The carefully conceived engineering changes continue as the new Rapide now offers even sharper agility and even quicker responses to driver input. The new AM11 engine \u2013 a key Gen4 component \u2013 has been lowered by 19 mm versus the position of the powerplant in the previous car, with a corresponding reduction in the sports car\u2019s centre of gravity.<\/p>\n

The changes also lead to a tangible improvement in front end turn-in \u2013 no mean feat for a car that was already acknowledged as a leader in dynamic performance.<\/p>\n

Aston Martin engineers at the company\u2019s global HQ in Gaydon have worked to revise the car\u2019s dynamic stability control (DSC) in line with its significant increases in both power and torque.<\/p>\n

As befits the more sporting nature of new Rapide S the car benefits from the latest Gen4 iteration of Aston Martin\u2019s hi-tech Adaptive Damping System (ADS). The system now offers three distinct settings: \u2018Normal\u2019, \u2018Sport\u2019 and \u2018Track\u2019, with the character of each being tailored to the nature of Rapide S.<\/p>\n

The ADS automatically alters the suspension settings to ensure the driver has high levels of control at all times, with the ability to respond quickly to different driving conditions. The different damping modes help to significantly broaden the character of the Rapide S, adapting its set-up to suit the driver\u2019s precise requirements. Thus it can be a luxurious GT car in Normal mode with the capacity to morph into a more assertive sports car in Sport and Track modes.<\/p>\n

The damper settings are determined by an electronic control unit which takes sensor readings from the car\u2019s systems, including throttle position, brake position, steering wheel rotation and vehicle speed. This data establishes the prevailing driving conditions and the demands the driver is making on the car.<\/p>\n

Head of Product Development at Aston Martin, Ian Minards, explains: \u201cGrowing the power in a luxury sports car is all very well, but maximising control and \u2018usability\u2019 of that increased power is, just as much, the engineers\u2019 challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cBalance, poise and control are the keys to a successful sports car and the dynamic improvements we have made with Rapide S showcase our efforts to make this not just the most beautiful, but also the most beautifully balanced, car in its class.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cTransmission calibration, ADS refinement, braking capability and engine output optimisation are among the many \u2018ingredients\u2019 which the team here at Gaydon have used to create a sports car of unerring quality and excitement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as with the new DB9, the new Rapide S achieves compliance with the latest European pedestrian protection regulations courtesy of its innovative new front grille design.<\/p>\n

The lowered engine, new bonnet, new front bumper construction and new grille combine to deliver a uniquely innovative approach to pedestrian impact protection.<\/p>\n

The patent-pending design \u2013 which features a unique \u2018keystone\u2019 construction \u2013 enables the grille to move rearwards on impact, whilst the central and outboard chin stiffeners give rigidity to the lower structure and support achievement of the leg impact regulations. Cut-outs on the front wing catwalks contribute to the achievement of the headform regulation.<\/p>\n

The solution means Aston Martin can remain true to its design ethos, and avoid the use of plastic grilles and nose cone bumpers that stretch up in front of the bonnet.<\/p>\n

First class cabin<\/h4>\n

As luxurious as it is thrilling, the new car now boasts a host of new luxury- or sports-orientated options, allowing buyers to more precisely tailor the car to their specific style.<\/p>\n

The new optional Carbon Exterior Pack, for instance, immediately dials up the Rapide\u2019s sporting attitude. Front splitter, rear diffuser, mirror caps and rear lamp infills all fashioned from carbon fibre clearly signal the sporting nature of this 558 PS four-seater.<\/p>\n

More pronounced luxury, on the other hand, comes from the new piano black interior pack that adds a deep, rich, mirror-like shine to the facia, transmission tunnel centre plate and door handles of the Rapide S. A darker surround in the instrument binnacle and steering wheel with black horn-push surround round off the pack\u2019s sumptuous additions. Luxurious blend headlinings in either tan or grey emphasise the luxury still further inside.<\/p>\n

As would be expected of a modern Aston Martin, handcrafting is the order of the day in the Rapide S with the standard-fit pure glass transmission selector switches in the centre console one small yet important example of the truly authentic, bespoke, nature of the car\u2019s cabin.<\/p>\n

However those with a desire for a more sporting ambience in their sports car will not be disappointed. Optional duotone perforated red and black leather makes its Aston Martin debut here \u2013 delivering a captivating visual combination that\u2019s unique to the new Rapide S.<\/p>\n

Luxury is enhanced by the removal of extraneous \u2018noise\u2019 and the enhancement of desirable \u2018sound\u2019 \u2013 a fine distinction but one that helps the new car deliver an aural experience like no other. Improved NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) characteristics are derived from the likes of the new bonnet lining and revised windscreen cowl.<\/p>\n

Flexibility comes in the form of four seats \u2013 the rearmost two capable of accommodating adults in a uniquely sporting setting \u2013 while at the touch of a button the individual back seats fold down to almost triple the Aston Martin\u2019s load space.<\/p>\n

Options to further enhance the luxurious look and feel of the Rapide S include, subject to market, a reversing camera and twin screen rear seat entertainment system with wireless headphones, remote control and six-disc DVD changer.<\/p>\n

Those seeking the ultimate in luxury and personalisation can also consider the \u2018Q by Aston Martin\u2019 service which offers uniquely-tailored options for individualisation. The Q service focuses on fashioning colour and materials with limitless boundaries precisely to customer choice and specification, enabling owners to give free rein to the creativity and indulge their desire for bespoke luxury.<\/p>\n

The new Aston Martin Rapide S will be available to order through the brand\u2019s 146 dealers worldwide next month with prices confirmed closer to the on-sale date.
