2013 Geneva Auto Show: Aston Martin Rapide S

Team OD Updated: May 09, 2013, 04:13 PM IST

The Aston Martin Rapide S isn't just another variant added to the Rapide line up but instead replaces the old car completely. The big visual identifier is the new face with a much more prominent grille but this isn't just a regular face lift. The engineers at Gaydon have managed to squeeze out an impressive 80PS more from the 6.0-litre V12 for a total of 550PS. That helps shave 0.4 seconds off the 0-100kmph time which is now down to 4.7 seconds. Top speed lies just north of 300kmph. Updates have also been made to the interiors in terms of materials and finishes on offer. The car goes on sale next month but Aston Martin haven't divulged pricing details yet
