Overview
The 2016 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 $206,000. It competes directly with the Porsche Panamera Turbo sedan which costs nearly $64,000 less. Meanwhile, the Bentley Flying Spur V8 and the Maserati Quattroporte GTS are also potential rivals from the fullsize sedan segment. 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 at least 34 stunning colors, with the Stratus White being a particular favorite of ours.
