Overview
The 2014 Aston Martin Rapide S Sedan makes for an excellent contender in the midsize sedan segment. With standalone trim on offer, the Aston Martin Rapide S has a base MSRP of $198,250. It competes directly with the Porsche Panamera Turbo sedan which costs nearly $56,950 less. Meanwhile, the Bentley Flying Spur and the less expensive Maserati Quattroporte GTS are also potential rivals from the fullsize sedan segment. Only a 5.9L V12 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 550 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, the Rapide S maintains a combined fuel economy of 15 MPG. Aston Martin offers the Rapide S in 34 stunning colors, with the Appletree Green being a particular favorite of ours.
