Rapide E
Engine: Dual electric motors
Torque: 950 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~4.0 s

In its final year, the Rapide made an unexpected transformation into a fully electric performance sedan. The Rapide E, developed in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering, featured a dual-motor rear-wheel-drive layout producing 610 hp and 950 Nm (701 lb-ft) of instant torque. With a 0–100 km/h time of under 4.0 seconds and a top speed limited to 250 km/h (155 mph), it surpassed every previous Rapide in raw performance—quietly.

Its 800V electrical architecture powered a 65 kWh battery pack, enabling an estimated range of ~320 km (200 miles) under WLTP. The car could sustain high performance even under repeat acceleration and track use, thanks to active thermal management and racing-derived cooling tech. Despite its weight, the Rapide E retained the agility and GT comfort expected from the badge.

Visually, it stood apart with a closed-off grille, unique aerodynamic wheels, and blue EV-specific accents. The interior remained true to Aston’s luxurious roots, while featuring updated displays and EV telemetry. Though limited to just 155 units globally, the Rapide E symbolized Aston Martin’s first step into electrification—clean, fast, rare, and technically fascinating.

Fastback

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)

“Rapide” revives the name first used on Lagonda Rapide (1961) — Aston Martin’s one-time luxury sub-brand. It emphasizes speed and grand touring confidence, tying into the company’s desire to create a true four-door sports car that preserved the look and soul of a traditional Aston.

Model Name Meaning (Languages)

“Rapide” is derived from the French word for fast, symbolizing performance across languages and cultures. It was chosen to reflect the car’s dynamic intent despite its grand tourer proportions.

Body & Interior Colors and Rims

The Rapide was offered in classic Aston Martin hues like Lightning Silver, Tungsten Grey, Morning Frost White, and Onyx Black, with Q Special paints such as Viridian Green, Concours Blue, or Volcano Red reserved for bespoke commissions. The AMR version introduced a unique Stirling Green and Lime livery, carbon fiber aero, and exclusive matte paint options.

Inside, the cabin was upholstered in Bridge of Weir leather in shades like Obsidian Black, Sahara Tan, and Parliament Green — often paired with Alcantara headliners and hand-stitched diamond quilting. Veneer choices ranged from Piano Black to Bamboo, Carbon Fiber, and full brushed aluminum packs.

Wheels ranged from elegant 20" multi-spoke alloys on early models to lightweight 21" forged Y-spokes on the Rapide AMR, available in Satin Black, Bronze, or Diamond Turned finishes.

vs Competitors

The Rapide competed with the Porsche Panamera Turbo, Maserati Quattroporte, BMW M760Li, and Mercedes-AMG S63. While less practical than some rivals, it stood out with undeniable emotional appeal, a V12 soundtrack, and design continuity with the DB series. The AMR variant delivered serious performance credentials, with bespoke chassis tuning and top speed near 330 km/h — faster than many supercars with double the doors.

Fun Fact

The Rapide AMR was the final Aston Martin to feature the naturally aspirated AM29 V12, ending a chapter in Aston history. It was hand-assembled in Gaydon, not in the same Wales facility as the DBX. With only 210 units made, the AMR edition is now considered a modern collectible — the V12 swan song in a 4-door body.
