Aston Martin Rapide S review

Running costs go out the window in this sector, which is just as well as anything handbuilt with a 6.0-litre V12 is never going to be inexpensive to run. You’ll not care when you’re in it and petrol’s still way cheaper than decent champagne – besides, it now does nearly 22mpg. Positively frugal in this sector. You could argue it’ll make good sense financially in the long run, as you can empty your garage of any other supercars and saloons. Sports cars are for new money oiks. The Rapide is for gents who appreciate its near perfect blend of sports car agility and saloon car comfort – so long as you’re not in the back.
