The 2014 Aston Martin Rapide S is a stunning example of British automotive elegance, finished in the striking Satin Tungsten Silver. This breathtaking exterior is complemented by an Obsidian Black Caithness leather interior, featuring elegant silver stitching and sports seats adorned with the distinctive ‘Rapide’ embroidered headrests. The interior also boasts a sleek piano black gloss centre console, further enhancing the cabin’s luxurious atmosphere. With only 29,000 miles on the odometer, this immaculate vehicle comes complete with a full Aston Martin Servicing history, ensuring its performance and condition remain flawless. The Rapide S is an iconic model, marking a significant milestone as the first four-door Aston Martin in production since the William Towns-designed AM Lagonda, which ceased production in 1989. While not badged as a Lagonda, the Rapide S carries the legacy of its ancestors, including the 1960s DB4-based Lagonda Rapide and the V8-powered wedge Lagonda from the 1970s and 1980s. Production of the standard Rapide concluded in 2013, giving way to the Rapide S, with only 2,872 units produced. At the heart of the Rapide S lies the impressive 6.0-litre V12 engine, delivering 565bhp and propelling the car from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 3.9 seconds. The Rapide S also boasts a top speed of 205 mph, making it a true performance powerhouse. This model benefits from the advanced 4th-generation Adaptive Damping system, allowing the driver to choose between three distinct modes: ‘Normal’, ‘Sport’, and ‘Track’. Additionally, it is equipped with optional 20-inch, 10-spoke forged alloy wheels that are 11% lighter than the standard wheels, offering improved performance and handling. The Rapide S also features an upgraded 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox, ensuring seamless gear shifts and a refined driving experience. To maintain a perfect balance between lightness and strength, the Rapide S utilises an extruded and bonded aluminium structure, aluminium and bonded body panels, and a stainless steel exhaust system. This 2014 Aston Martin Rapide S is a rare and exceptional blend of performance, luxury, and craftsmanship, making it a true collector’s gem for those who demand the very best.
