A Special Edition variant of Rapide S featuring a unique and more dynamic specification.

Following a unique recipe using the finest ingredients in the automotive industry, the Aston Martin Rapide S Shadow Edition is a compelling and comprehensively improved evolution of our ground-breaking four door sports car.

Clear design, tactility and a sense of connection are paramount, and from the moment you slip behind the steering wheel you feel in total command of the car. Intuitive ergonomics, fine visibility and the sensory satisfaction from materials such as glass switches are thoughtful and satisfying, completing a driving experience so immersive you will forget you are in a four-seater sports car.

The shape might shout sports car, but the Rapide S is as much about function as it is about form. With a quartet of swan-wing doors that sweep up and out from the door apertures for optimal ingress and egress, four adults can be accommodated with impressive ease. In the front, multi-adjustable seats provide total support for the driver and front passenger, while in the rear, the cleverly sculpted headlining and front seat backs maximise available head and knee-room within the beautifully designed and appointed rear passenger compartment.

It was of vital importance to us that in giving the Rapide S a more assertive look we also preserved its magical purity of line and proportion. Now, whether you view it from the front, rear or in profile the Rapide S unquestionably has a more forceful presence, yet maintains that all-important subtlety and restraint. Free from embellishment and visual clutter it’s this immaculate understatement mixed with the innate presence of the Rapide S that makes it such a successful piece of design.

Introducing the all-new AM29 V12 engine. The most technologically advanced, most powerful Rapide engine we’ve ever built. Incredible figures tell the story; covering 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds), 630 Nm (465 lb ft) of torque and potent power of 552 bhp (558 PS). Rapide S delivers phenomenal performance, all of the time.

With enhanced vehicle dynamics and engine performance Rapide S Shadow Edition provides a more engaging driving experience. Featuring uprated power (565 BHP/ 573 PS), 8-speed Touchtronic III Transmission, a Sports Exhaust and 3-stage Adaptive Damping, the Rapide S Shadow Edition never forgets that an Aston Martin is a car for drivers.
