With the recent Aston Martin Rapide S, the British automaker has added more power and improved driving dynamics. Perhaps just as important for a car wearing Aston Martin badges, the four-door benefits from exterior and interior styling updates. Will the Rapide S’ freshened design and gear boost help the auto make a much bigger impact on luxury buyers

The Aston Martin Rapide S’ exterior tweaks are greater than just superficial; some enhance aerodynamics. Horizontal slats within the larger, one-piece grille replace the horizontal and vertical slats inside the standard Rapide’s two-tier grille, while a brand new air intake below the grille is flanked by more prominent forward-facing fascia extensions. Around back, the integrated trunk lip spoiler is taller within the middle. a brand new Carbon Exterior Pack contains a carbon fiber front splitter, taillight trim, rear diffuser, and mirror caps. Carbon ceramic brakes peek out from the Rapide S’ unique wheel design.

Inside, the instrument cluster has a darker surround and handcrafted, polished glass buttons – comparable to those utilized in the Virage – are used for the transmission gear selector switches. Duotone perforated red and black leather upholstery is now available for the Rapide’s four bucket seats.
