Aston Martin yesterday revealed their new Rapide S. The car, promoted as their “most powerful 4-door ever” will replace the outgoing Rapide.

The new model features a 6-liter V12 engine that produces an impressive 550 brake horsepower. This makes it 17% more powerful than its predecessor.

Peak torque is up to, from 443 pound-feet in the Rapide to 457 pound-feet in the S. That output gives the newcomer a better 0 to 100 km/h time, and a higher top speed.
