COOL DELIVERY, SEARING PACE

The heart of the Rapide S is a cultured quad-cam 6.0-liter V12. The marriage of sumptuous accessibility with supreme ultimate performance perfectly represents the dual personality of Rapide S. Producing a scintillating 560 horsepower, and 465 lb-ft of torque, the V12 is eminently accessible and capable of soaring performance.

TWELVE TO THE POWER OF EIGHT

Rapide S has been transformed by the highly advanced, eight-speed Touchtronic III automatic gearbox. Like the car, Touchtronic III has a comprehensive skill set – capable of shifting gears in as quick as 130 milliseconds for ultimate response, but simultaneously improving refinement and economy. Eight ratios ensure that the 6.0-liter V12’s innate qualities are fully realized. Shorter, lower ratios improve acceleration while the relaxed gait of ratios 7 and 8 reduces revs for near-silent cruising capability.

BEAUTY THAT IS MORE THAN SKIN DEEP

The Rapide S shares the same advanced bonded aluminum construction and potent powertrain as our latest generation GT and Super GT models. It provides the ideal platform on which to create the most sporting four-seater in our history with a lower center of gravity and increased structural rigidity.

MATURE PERFORMANCE TO SUIT EVERY JOURNEY

It is not just the outright pace of the Rapide S that makes it so impressive, but the way it is deployed. Developed to fully exploit and perfectly complement the tremendous reserves of accessible performance, the Rapide S advanced suspension and braking systems are paragons of control, power and precision. 

NATURAL ATHLETICISM AND PERFECT BALANCE

Positioning the 6.0-liter V12 engine behind the centerline of the front wheels and mounting the eight-speed Touchtronic III transaxle at the rear concentrates the major masses within the wheelbase of Rapide S and achieves a near-perfect weight distribution. This has the twin benefits of optimizing agility and delivering consistent, confidence-inspiring handling on all roads and in all weather conditions.
