Aston Martin Rapid S 2017 Black in frame

Aston Martin’s ‘limousine’ is gorgeous to look at (especially in Black) and clearly influenced by the proportions of its DB9/DB11 stablemates. Performance is staggering with its 5.9 litre engine producing 552 bhp and acceleration of 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds. However, despite being superbly finished with the highest quality materials being used it is rather compromised in the rear seat area and is really a 4 door 2+2 sports coupe rather than a limousine. The good news is that everything else is up to AM standards and second hand there are real bargains out there. A ‘sleeper’ for the future.
