The Dashing Design of 2017 Aston Martin Rapide S
Not calling the design of the new 2017 Aston Martin Rapide S dashing would be unfair. Aston Martin fused “form and function” together to bring forth a sports sedan which offers breathtaking performance and mesmerizing design. The design is bold, confident and enhances the capabilities of the sports sedan.
Exterior
The front fascia of the 2017 Aston Martin Rapide S has a full aluminum grille for a sportier look. In fact, it is actually the largest production grille in the world. The side grilles have also been increased in size to improve the performance of the sedan. To further improve the performance, the engineers at Aston Martin enhanced the braking system and suspension to bring the driver more stability, power and control, thus offering precise driving experience.
The side-strake of the new sports sedan is almost jewel-like, all thanks to the aluminum sculpts that you will find at the flanks of the Rapide S. At the bonnet, you will find bonnet louvre made from high density zinc. All in all, the overall look of the exterior has a luxurious finesse that you would expect from a brand such as Aston Martin.
Interior
The designers at Aston Martin made sure that 2017 Aston Martin Rapide S leaves an everlasting impression with its breathtaking interior. Inspired by a stunning waterfall fascia design that incorporates technology with luxury, you will have everything easily in your reach. You can actually make your own style statement on the fascia design by customizing it to your own personal preferences with your choice of high quality materials.
Rapide S comes with three options for fascia and offers a choice between Iridium option, Satin Cuprum Carbon Fibre option and Piano Ice Mocha option. To enhance the interior even more, Aston Martin has used more leather in the interior than it does in any other car.
The Rapide S offers thousands of unique color combinations to choose from with multiple finishes. The interior depicts sheer craftsmanship as the designers have used the finest leather and full grain wood trim to give it a premium appeal. The “AML” logo is prominently placed on the seats to further add to the “premium product” appeal in the 2017 Aston Martin Rapide S.
