Vehicle Overview

2014 Aston Martin Rapide Rapide S.

The Aston Martin Rapide S occupies an unusual and compelling place in the luxury-car landscape: it combines the presence of a grand tourer with the practicality of four doors and the character of a hand-built V12. This 2014 example presents in Onyx Black Metallic, a restrained colour that suits the Rapide’s long, sculpted proportions and allows its signature Aston Martin detailing to remain the focus.

At the heart of the car is a naturally aspirated 6.0-litre petrol V12, paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. That combination gives the Rapide S a distinctive mechanical identity, delivering the smooth, substantial feel expected of a large-cylinder grand tourer while retaining the engaging connection associated with rear-driven performance cars. The engine’s soundtrack and response are central to the ownership experience, particularly for drivers who value character and occasion as much as outright capability.

The cabin is finished in Obsidian Black leather and specified with a notably detailed collection of factory options. Red contrast stitching, two-colour leather elements, piano-black trim and Alcantara headlining create a cabin that feels carefully tailored rather than merely well equipped. Glass fascia switches, a crystal key remote and embroidered headrests add the kind of tactile details that distinguish the Rapide S from more conventional luxury vehicles.

Comfort and long-distance usability are also strongly represented. Electric sports seats with memory, heating and ventilation help make the interior adaptable across changing conditions, while the rear-seat entertainment system gives passengers their own source of in-car enjoyment. The electric soft-close boot adds convenience to everyday loading, and the second-row grab handle is a small but useful detail for rear occupants.

Further equipment includes a Bang & Olufsen 12-speaker sound system, ambient lighting, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and a bimodal sports exhaust. Together, these features allow the vehicle to shift naturally between a quiet, sophisticated touring environment and a more expressive driving experience. The 10-spoke gloss-black wheels, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres and complemented by gloss-red brake calipers, reinforce the car’s sporting intent without overwhelming its formal design.

With 65,247 kilometres displayed, this Rapide S offers the appeal of a distinctive V12 grand tourer alongside the accommodation and equipment expected from a high-end four-door. Its appeal lies in the combination: dramatic engineering, hand-finished presentation and genuine passenger space, all expressed through the unmistakable design language of Aston Martin.
