Aston Martin launched the Rapide S, world’s most beautiful luxury sports car, in India for Rs. 4.4 crore ex-showroom Mumbai.
Aston Martin ‘Rapide’ is been there in India since 2011, and now the addition of ‘S’ to it has added more power and some appealing aesthetics.
Single piece front grille, increased torque and a meatier power delivery are some of the new flicks to talk about on the Rapide S alongside its revamped rear lip spoiler.
Confirming the details, Rapide S produces 550bhp @ 6750rpm, and 619Nm of torque @ 5000rpm from a 6.0L V12 engine, delivering all the traction to rear wheels. The 6-speed ZF transmission with electronic shift-by-wire control system assists the car to reach 0-100 kmph (0-62 mph) in 4.9 seconds with a max speed of 306 kmph (190 mph).
