OVI Report post Posted January 23, 2013 rapide S... what do you guys think about the grill? Personally think its overdone. Instead of the grill they should have done work on the front bumper as they did with the DBS. (vents, some curves or something) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCR Report post Posted January 23, 2013 Agreed on overdone, and likely poorly done too. Since when does AM suppose to have a laughing face? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VBUGKING Report post Posted January 23, 2013 I wonder how they are getting 550hp. I would love to increase the hp on my DBS from 510 to 550. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OVI Report post Posted January 24, 2013 Vboxking a friend of mine who owns a local shop in my area said with an ECU tune and a good exhaust a DBS could push 550 - 560 hp. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ameer Report post Posted January 24, 2013 It looks like some tuner got their hands on it. Previous grill was nicer imo, this one is overdone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev99sv Report post Posted March 8, 2015 Hey guys, anyone have a Rapide S? Need a new sedan and was considering one. Looking for something a little unique as a daily driver. Before you suggest it I have no interest is a Merc,BMW or Audi. Not that I don't like them but I have had them and want to travel a different road. Don't need the fastest or highest tech, just a cool car to have as a DD. Also considering a Panamera or FF. Preowned Aston or FF has already taken a shitload of depreciation. Any thoughts are welcome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destructo Report post Posted March 9, 2015 That thing looks like a truck with the new grill. I loved the first iteration, but this just doesn't do it for me anymore. Love the AM brand, hopefully they can get on-point again with the car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVI Report post Posted March 10, 2015 Since these came out they have really grown on me. I really like the rapides a lot. Kev99sv I think you would enjoy it. However the back seats are not very roomy. So depending on your need that may not be a selling point. However if you don't need back seats I would recommend a two door Aston instead. A bentley GT Super Sport should make for a fun DD also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

abolfaz Report post Posted January 19, 2016 I considered one as a dd. Loud and uncomfortable, rear seats suck. IMO, it's a fail as a four door. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev99sv Report post Posted January 21, 2016 Doh! My ass still hurts from the beating I took from my last Aston. I actually did ok. Bought preowned at $100k off sticker for a year old car then got rid of it for nearly what I paid. Got lucky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
