New family face is backed by an improved version of the 6.0-litre V12. The new Aston Martin Rapide S has had more than a nip and tuck.

Aston Martin is celebrating its 100th birthday at Geneva 2013 by showing amongst others its new Rapide S. The luxury four-door GT has been given a bigger grille and a breathed on version of the 6.0-litre V12 - with 550bhp and 443lb ft -- which is located 19mm lower in the chassis for better centre of gravity and handling. It's also been given a new version of Adaptive Damping System (ADS) with Normal, sport & track modes. A handcrafted interior makes everything feel so much more special.

Aston Martin claim it will drag to 62mph in 4.9 seconds and will hit 190mph flat out, while being slightly more environmentally friendly and fuel efficient. Not many four seaters are this more desirable. We like.
