2012 Aston Martin Rapide S


 
  Review 
   

The spy photographers are out again and they’ve caught a special Aston Martin Rapide testing at the Nurburgring. Initial rumors on this vehicle suggested it was a facelift version of the luxury sedan, but it seems the news is even better. The company is preparing an even more powerful version of the Rapide that will drop the current 470 HP 6.0 Liter V12 in favor of the engine used in the DBS. This means we will get 40 HP more with the new S version. With the new 510 HP, the Rapide S will sprint faster than the current model which does the 0 to 60 mph sprint in 5.1 seconds.

Next to the engine improvement, the Rapide S will feature an even more aggressive front and rear fascia, a lower front bumper with an additional air intake and deep scoops, a more prominent boot lip spoiler and a reprofiled bumper.

The new Aston Martin Rapide S will go on sale in late 2012 and will be priced at about £200,000 or about $325,000 at the current exchange rates.

2012 Aston Martin Rapide S is looking more aggressive than its earlier one. its headlights are smartly tweaked and there are minor changes in grill.

It’s a nice concept to have. The facelift is less than I’ve expected, but the additional of hp is much better. The sprinting time was still on their best.

One of the good thing about an Aston Martin vehicle is that they always didn’t forget to upgrade the engine of their vehicles for their facelift version, just like with this. Anyway, I have to agree that it looks better than with the ordinary luxury sedan!

It frond headlight really looks very attractive on it. Moreover, I noticed that the design on its front hood and even on its air intake only adds more aggressive looks on it and I’m truly glad that they justify that.

Rapide S is so elegant on its aesthetic looks and most especially on its headlights, and I must say that I’m so impressed with its power and striking engine specifications.

Nice captured of Aston Martin Rapide S. Truly a luxury car, the facelift version certainly a prominent design including the headlights styles and stunning color too.

The headlights give so much angst on this Rapide S. I love the lights around its headlights smiley Even the simplicity of the design and platform had lots of appeal. The engine is quite impressive either.

I think that the engine of this car and generally all Aston Martin engines are very underpowered

I love the angst of this Rapide S of Aston Martin especially on its front headlights! I also noticed that it had an expensive price, which I can’t blame them why. smiley
