Description

Introduced in 2010, the Aston Martin Rapide brought together the performance and styling of the marque's sportscars with the practicality of a four-door, four-seat grand tourer. Based on the DB9 and built around Aston Martin's VH platform, it was an elegant and rather different take on the traditional luxury saloon. The Rapide S arrived in 2013, bringing a more powerful 6.0 litre V12 producing 550bhp and 457lb ft of torque, together with a 190mph top speed and 0-62mph time of just 4.9 seconds.

Originally delivered new to Australia in 2013, this Rapide S was repatriated to the UK in 2016. Finished in Diamond Black with a beautifully appointed four-seat cabin trimmed in black leather with contrasting red stitching, it presents as a particularly attractive specification. Equipment includes bi-Xenon headlights, LED rear lights, satellite navigation, heated and ventilated front seats, Bluetooth connectivity and the impressive 16-speaker Bang &Olufsen sound system.

The car was acquired by the current owner in 2022 with approximately 13,000 miles recorded. Its history includes a Category N insurance loss in 2017, reportedly following water ingress through the engine air intakes which resulted in engine failure. The engine was subsequently replaced with a lower-mileage unit, and this history should be noted by prospective buyers.

Since 2024, the car has benefited from considerable expenditure of more than £25,000 with Chicane Aston Martin, including servicing, brake fluid and pollen filter changes, replacement headlamps, radiator support panels, a seat control module and a rear driveshaft assembly, alongside various other repairs and maintenance. Further work in 2025 included an oil and filter change, brake fluid change and additional attention to the rear undertray and parking sensor system. Invoices totalling several thousand pounds provide a useful record of this recent investment. Combining the wonderful sound of Aston Martin's naturally aspirated V12 with genuine four-seat practicality, the Rapide S remains a distinctive and compelling modern grand tourer and looks like excellent value.
