THE POWER OF LUXURY. THE ART OF ASTON MARTIN. 1 2 3 SINGULAR VISION, SHARED PLEASURE. THE WORLD’S MOST BEAUTIFUL FOUR-DOOR SPORTS CAR. CONTENTS 6 8 10 20 28 40 50 63 66 70 INTRODUCTION DESIGN PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING INTERIOR LUXURY INTERIOR TECHNOLOGY PERSONALISATION SPECIFICATIONS Q BY ASTON MARTIN WORKING WITH YOUR DEALERSHIP 72 ASTON MARTIN LIFE 4 5 A PUREBRED DRIVER’S CAR. Rapide S is the world’s most beautiful four-door sports car. Created with the finest ingredients, conceived with a unique vision, it combines sensational sports car performance and supreme refinement in one compelling form. The latest detailed evolution provides an even greater breadth of ability. Ground-breaking and yet possessed of timeless beauty, Rapide S is sublime, thrilling and every inch an Aston Martin. 6 7 DESIGN SEEK PERFECTION IN EVERY DETAIL. Each and every Aston Martin must possess beauty, elegance and proportion. Rapide S encapsulates those qualities in a four-door shape that mixes indulgence and tension with exquisite harmony. Inspired by the aesthetic of our iconic two seat coupes, re-imagined as a four-door with an almost magical purity of line, Rapide S is cohesive, graceful and unmistakably Aston Martin. 8 The confidence of the distinctive grille design creates an assertive presence for Rapide S, a theme that is carried through in every detail. Yet while Rapide S has intrinsic presence it is balanced with classic proportions and elegant lines that bring an aura of immaculate understatement and deft subtlety. Melding these apparently contradictory themes with such artful harmony is key to realising the world’s most beautiful four-door sports car. 9 PERFORMANCE PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES. Challenge creates solutions, speeds the rate of evolution and ensures that every Aston Martin is true to our core values. Our four-door sports car needed a challenge and in 2010 it faced the toughest of any in motorsport: the gruelling Nürburgring 24 hours. Against a field of 200 purpose-built racing cars on the world’s greatest 10 racetrack a near-standard roadregistered Rapide ran fast and faultlessly for a day and a night. The Rapide achieved second in class and 34th overall. Rapide S is faster, more sophisticated, more responsive and even more durable thanks in part to lessons learnt in that extraordinary race. 11 PERFORMANCE COOL DELIVERY, SEARING PACE. V12 6.0 The heart of Rapide S is a cultured quad-cam 6.0-litre V12. Marrying sumptuous accessibility with supreme ultimate performance, it perfectly represents the dual personality of Rapide S. Producing a scintillating 560 PS (552 bhp) and 630 Nm the V12 is eminently accessible and capable of soaring performance. Controlled by a new highly sophisticated Bosch engine management system and partnered with the all-new 12 eight-speed Touchtronic III automatic transmission, Rapide S is faster, more responsive and cleaner than ever before. The result is a generous spread of effortless performance coupled with the assurance of emphatic overtaking ability whenever you need it. When you want to reveal the sports car within, Rapide S will cover 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds and can achieve an incredible 203 mph, while CO2 emissions and fuel consumption are improved. LITRE 130 MS QUICKEST GEARSHIFT DURATION 8 RATIOS 13 PERFORMANCE TWELVE TO THE POWER OF EIGHT. Peak power Rapide S has been transformed by the highly advanced eight-speed Touchtronic III automatic transmission. Like the car, Touchtronic III has a comprehensive skill set – capable of shifting gears in as quick as 130 milliseconds for ultimate response, but simultaneously improving refinement and economy. Eight ratios ensures that the 6.0-litre V12’s innate qualities are fully realised. Shorter lower ratios improve acceleration while the relaxed gait of ratios 7 and 8 reduce revs for near-silent cruising capability. Touchtronic III features four driving modes; Drive, Drive-Sport, Paddle and Paddle-Sport, it also features Adaptive Drive Recognition that allows it to intelligently adapt to driver’s inputs and driving style. The result is totally intuitive and highly efficient. A further unseen but tangible benefit is its lower mass, which benefits driving dynamics still further. 552 BHP Torque 630 Nm 0-60 mph 1 2 Front engine configuration with Touchtronic transaxle provides superb balance and progressive dynamics 14 3 Revised torque tube linking engine to Touchtronic III transmits less noise to the interior for greater refinement Eight ratios but 3% lighter than previous transmission with benefits to agility and comfort 4.2 SECONDS 15 PERFORMANCE THE SOUND OF SPEED. There is nothing more satisfying than the response and sound of a normally aspirated 6.0-litre V12. Rapide S is imbued with an effortless sense of the exotic because of its beating heart. And the V12’s sonorous howl 16 conveys the easy delivery but epic scale of the performance on tap inside the car and to those lucky enough to be watching and listening on from the exterior. Rapide S is a rolling piece of theatre, performed by one, enjoyed by many. 17 PERFORMANCE EFFORTLESS POISE, ULTIMATE CONTROL. It is not just the outright pace of Rapide S that makes it so imperious, but the way it is deployed. Developed to fully exploit and perfectly complement the tremendous reserves of accessible performance, the Rapide S advanced suspension and braking systems are paragons of control, power and precision. 18 When driving alone you will love the way the 3-stage Adaptive Damping System (ADS) can be configured to deliver true sports car handling, yet when comfort is a priority it effortlessly assumes the role of the consummate luxury car. New larger 400 mm diameter front discs deliver enhanced progressive stopping power with immense resistance to the effects of brake fade. A retuned 3-stage DSC stability control system works seamlessly with the new gearbox for ultimate reassurance. Optional lightweight forged alloy wheels reduce unsprung and rotational masses to further improve ride quality, steering response and feedback. 19 ENGINEERING PERFECT BALANCE FOR NATURAL BORN ATHLETICISM. 50.1% 49.9% Positioning the 6.0-litre V12 engine behind the centreline of the front wheels and mounting the new and lighter eight-speed Touchtronic III transaxle at the rear, concentrates the major masses within the wheelbase of Rapide S and achieves a near-perfect weight distribution. This has the twin benefits of optimising agility and delivering consistent, confidenceinspiring handling on all roads and in all weathers. 20 21 ENGINEERING BEAUTY THAT IS MORE THAN SKIN DEEP. Rapide S is infused with confidence and defined by its stunning sense of purity and proportion, but its unmistakable silhouette is just the starting point for you to imagine your version of the world’s most 22 beautiful four-door. Quietly understated or exuding joyous charisma, the Rapide S is yours to interpret as you wish. 23 SHARED INDULGENCE FREEDOM REDEFINED. 24 25 SHARED INDULGENCE THE FUSING OF FORM AND FUNCTION. Assertive, confident, bold and yet perfectly proportioned, Rapide S has a purity of purpose that belies its broad capabilities. That strength of character is infused into the 26 details that define Rapide S. Details like the assertively styled full-face aluminium grille and elongated side gills that hint at the power within. At the rear the tailgate features an aggressively upswept ‘flip’ to create a dynamic profile and increase aerodynamic stability at high speed. Below, an aerodynamic diffuser has been integrated into the rear valance to better manage the airflow exiting beneath the rear of the car, and to mirror the boldness of the overtly sporting frontal treatment. 27 INTERIOR LUXURY IMMERSE YOURSELF IN A NEW WORLD OF OPULENCE. If to catch sight of a Rapide S is to be uplifted, then to slide into its interior is to be enveloped by a space of extraordinary tranquillity. Stunning design flows from the sweep of the centre stack to the beautifully trimmed luggage area, authentic materials interplay with a carefree lightness of touch and, instantly, driver and passengers relax. Welcome to your Rapide S. 28 29 INTERIOR LUXURY A JOY FOR PASSENGERS. A SENSATION FOR THE DRIVER. One of the truly unique qualities of Rapide S is that while it pays close attention to the needs of its passengers, it never forgets that an Aston Martin is a car for drivers. With perfect alignment of seat, steering wheel and pedals, and an inspiring view over that long, graceful bonnet, the driving environment is every bit as driver-orientated as that of our more focussed Sports, GT and Super GT models. 30 Clear design, tactility and a sense of connection are paramount, and from the moment you slip behind the steering wheel you feel in total command of Rapide S. Intuitive ergonomics, fine visibility and the sensory satisfaction of materials such as glass switches are thoughtful and satisfying, completing a driving experience so immersive you will forget you are in a four-seat sports car. 31 INTERIOR LUXURY IMAGINATION TO EXCITE THE SENSES. To travel in the Rapide S is to be immersed in a uniquely spacious and indulgent environment. An environment defined by you from the vast array of interior colour, trim and detailing options – including the new Piano Ice 32 Mocha finish, quilted leather patterns, Alcantara® options and a selection of duotone perforated leathers. Create a lavishly opulent escape or a focused sporting ambience and let Rapide S fire your imagination. 33 INTERIOR LUXURY 34 35 INTERIOR LUXURY THE GLAMOUR OF PRIVATE AIR TRAVEL WITHOUT EVER LEAVING THE GROUND. Fashioned from the same fine materials with the same obsessive attention to quality and detail, the rear passengers’ compartment of the Rapide S is just as enticing as the front. Individually sculpted seats provide ample support, yet are yielding enough to be comfortable over extended distances. 36 The raised sweep of the central console serves as a built-in armrest as well as somewhere to stow drinks. Zoned air conditioning ensures rear seat passengers can enjoy their own climate independent from that of those in the front. 37 INTERIOR LUXURY UNMATCHED CRAFTSMANSHIP. SUPREME COMFORT. Aston Martin’s long history of bespoke, hand-made luxury is palpable in the fine execution of every detail inside the Rapide S. Using the finest leathers, a vast array of woods and other luxurious materials, each cabin is crafted by hand with passion and absolute precision. For example, in an embroidered ‘AML’ logo there 38 are over five thousand stitches applied to create the desired finish. With over three million available combinations of trim, this extraordinary space can portray a myriad of moods and sensations. Created by your imagination, executed by craftspeople in time-honoured tradition. 39 INTERIOR TECHNOLOGY MUSIC TO MOVE YOU. Sound system by Bang & Olufsen Patented Acoustic Lens Technology Geometry If the sound of a creamily cultured yet savagely powerful 6.0-litre V12 is not enough entertainment, Rapide S is equipped with a specially developed Bang & Olufsen sound system. With 1000 watts of amplification and an array of 15 perfectly positioned speakers, the Bang & Olufsen system delivers a sensational listening experience with a clear and natural tone, bringing your favourite music to life as never before. High frequency tweeter Acoustic Lens house with moving mechanism Bang & Olufsen’s highly skilled ‘tonmeisters’ have expertly shaped the delivery by balancing over 2000 tuneable parameters to achieve the perfect experience. Sound replication is maintained in all driving conditions through imperceptible equalisation adjustments determined by algorithms that utilise multiple vehicle sensors, including an in-car microphone. Every nuance is captured, every emotion conveyed. Rubber isolators prevent vibrations being transmitted Acoustic Lens Technology The Bang & Olufsen systems for Aston Martin include two moving acoustic lenses mounted at each side of the dashboard. When the 40 Closed speaker cabinet sound system is activated, each acoustic lens elevates slightly and elegantly from their position below the dashboard. The lenses ensure a wide, 180° horizontal dispersion as well as preventing vertical artefacts, therefore assisting in imaging and sound staging. The specialised use of closed speaker cabinets considerably enhance crispness of audio replication as well as improving privacy inside the car by reducing the amount of sound transmitted externally. 41 INTERIOR TECHNOLOGY CONCERT HALL, MOVIE THEATRE, THE BEST SEATS IN THE HOUSE. For the ultimate ‘in-flight’ experience look no further than the optional rear seat entertainment system. Featuring individual screens mounted in the back of the front seat head restraints, which take a feed from the 6-disc in-car DVD player. Wireless headphones and remote control ensure maximum convenience and viewing pleasure. 42 43 FOUR-DOOR CONVENIENCE AN APPETITE FOR CROSSING CONTINENTS. 44 45 FOUR-DOOR COMFORT FOUR DOORS. FOUR SEATS. A COUPE WITHOUT COMPROMISE. The shape speaks of agility, thrills and uncompromised glamour but Rapide S skilfully weaves function into its stylish form. With a quartet of swan-wing doors that sweep up and out from the door apertures for optimal ingress and egress, four adults can be accommodated with impressive ease and in perfect comfort. 46 In the front, multi-adjustable seats provide comprehensive support for driver and passenger, while in the rear, the cleverly sculpted headlining and front seat backs maximise available head and knee-room within the beautifully designed and appointed rear passenger compartment. Rapide S is an experience to be shared. 47 FOUR-DOOR COMFORT INTRINSICALLY PRACTICAL. THE COMPLETE LUXURY SPORTS CAR. The driving experience demonstrates that Rapide S is a car of wildly divergent abilities – one moment a precise sports car, the next a hushed luxury express. We know you will want to enjoy it every day, so we have designed Rapide S to offer the functionality to make that possible and convenient. 48 Accessed via a large tailgate, the wide, flat luggage area is generous and will accommodate everyday luggage without encroaching on the rear passenger environment. However, if you need to transport something out of the ordinary or you are packing for an extended touring holiday for two, the Rapide S rear seats can be folded to triple the available luggage space. In so doing a cavernous load area is created, perfect for swallowing bulky sporting equipment such as golf bags or sets of skis. 49 PERSONALISATION DESIGNER’S CHOICE Take inspiration for your perfect Rapide S with this selection of both sporting and luxury colour and trim combinations DIVINE RED MORNING FROST WHITE MIDNIGHT BLUE SEA STORM THE SPORTS CAR WITHIN – The classic and evocative sports car aesthetic, combining Divine Red exterior with Sahara Tan leather and sophisticated Piano Black trim MODERN ATHLETICISM – Startlingly bold and contemporary with carbon fibre detailing and graphite diamond-turned wheel finish SOPHISTICATED LUXURY – Taking elegance to the next level with a lustrous Midnight Blue finish and opulent Dark Knight leather intertwined with carbon fibre trim ABSOLUTE ELEGANCE – Assertive yet restrained, Sea Storm with Blue Haze leather and meticulous Cream Truffle stitching creates a serene, effortless ambience Wheels: 10-spoke Silver painted wheels with diamond-turned finish Brake Caliper: Grey Exhaust: Bright Carbon fibre Exterior Pack Wheels: 10-spoke directional Graphite painted wheels with diamond-turned finish Brake Caliper: Black Exhaust: Black Zircotec Wheels: 10-spoke directional Graphite painted wheels with diamond-turned finish Brake Caliper: Black Exhaust: Bright Wheels: 10-spoke directional Satin Champagne painted wheels with diamond-turned finish Brake Caliper: Grey Exhaust: Bright 50 Leather: Sahara Tan Stitch: Red No Seat quilting Seat inner: Sahara duotone perforation Headlining: Sahara duotone perforation Facia Trim: Piano Black Piano Black Interior Pack B&O Speaker Grilles: Iridium Pedals: Iridium Leather: Obsidian Black Stitch: Black Seat quilting Seat inner: White duotone perforation Headlining: Obsidian Black quilted leather Facia Trim: Piano Black Piano Black Interior Pack B&O Speaker Grilles: Black Pedals: Black Leather: Dark Knight Stitch: Silver   Seat quilting Seat inner: Dark Knight Headlining: Tailors Grey Alcantara® Facia Trim: Carbon fibre Carbon fibre Interior Pack B&O Speaker Grilles: Iridium Pedals: Iridium Leather: Blue Haze Stitch: Cream Truffle Seat quilting Seat inner: Blue Haze perforation Headlining: Blue Haze quilted leather Facia Trim: Carbon fibre Carbon fibre Interior Pack B&O Speaker Grilles: Iridium Pedals: Iridium 51 PERSONALISATION EXTERIOR PAINT PALETTE FAST TRACK The unmistakable silhouette of Rapide S is just the starting point for you to imagine your version of the world’s most beautiful four-door.
