Overview
The 2017 Aston Martin Rapide S sedan makes for an excellent contender in the midsize sedan segment. With 2 trims on offer, the Aston Martin Rapide S has a base MSRP of $204,950, with prices going all the way up to an MSRP of $206,000, competing indirectly with the fullsize sedans such as the Porsche Panamera Turbo sedan, the Bentley Flying Spur V8, and the Maserati Quattroporte GTS GranLusso. That said, all three rivals cost $17,600 to $61,100 less than the Rapide S. Only a 5.9L V12 engine is offered, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 552 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, the Rapide S maintains a combined fuel economy of 17 MPG. Aston Martin offers the Rapide S in 30 stunning colors, with the Concours Blue being a particular favorite of ours.
