Of course we’ve already seen the car on the parlour where it was a real eyecatcher. All good, but it’s way more important what impression a car makes in real life. A Bugatti Veyron 16.4 for instance, a car which looks much more exciting in real life than on a parlour or exhibitation. The same goes for the Aston Martin Rapide S. Spotter nieuw, who was in Geneva for two days, spotted the first copy of the powerful and beautiful business saloon.
The Aston Martin Rapide S really does justice to the name Rapide. The power has increased up to 558 bhp which makes it a proper rival for the Porsche Panamera Turbo S and Maserati Quattroporte. When it comes to looks it is completely up to date again, and makes the Rapide look kind of modest. The bigger grill, fatter lip at the back and more expressive lines make this to a proper Aston Martin. You can almost call it a fact that the Rapide will have more attention than before, because compared to the S it is much more modest.
