2013 Aston Martin Rapide S

2013 to 2017 · Sedan

The Rapide S represents Aston Martin's bold attempt to stretch their GT DNA into four-door territory, and it largely succeeded. Built from 2013-2017, this elegant sedan housed a naturally aspirated 5.9-liter V12 producing 550 horsepower, paired with a Touchtronic 2 eight-speed automatic. Unlike the original Rapide's Austrian production, the S was built at Gaydon, ensuring proper Aston Martin provenance. The design, penned by Marek Reichman, maintained the brand's flowing lines while accommodating rear passengers—no small feat. Performance was genuinely impressive: 0-60 in 4.2 seconds and a 203 mph top speed. Production numbers remained exclusive, with fewer than 2,000 examples built across all markets. Today, the Rapide S occupies a unique niche for collectors seeking a proper four-door Aston Martin before the brand's SUV era. Values have stabilized, making it an intriguing entry point into modern Aston ownership with genuine GT credentials.
