2019 Aston Martin Rapide

There are few cars capable of blending supercar performance with genuine four-seat practicality quite like the Aston Martin Rapide. As elegant today as it was when first unveiled, the Rapide remains one of the most beautiful sporting saloons ever produced. Yet for those seeking the very pinnacle of the model's evolution, there is only one name that truly matters, AMR.

Representing the final and most exhilarating chapter in the Rapide's story, the Rapide AMR is the definitive expression of Aston Martin's naturally aspirated V12 grand tourer. Produced in strictly limited numbers, it combines breathtaking performance with exceptional craftsmanship and exclusivity, resulting in one of the rarest and most desirable modern Aston Martins ever built.

Developed by Aston Martin's performance division, the Rapide AMR is powered by the marque's glorious 5.9-litre naturally aspirated V12, producing an impressive 595bhp. Free from turbochargers and electrification, it delivers one of the automotive world's finest soundtracks, building from a cultured idle to a spine-tingling crescendo as the revs rise. Mated to an eight-speed Touchtronic III transmission, the Rapide AMR accelerates from 0-62 mph in just 4.4 seconds before continuing to a remarkable 205mph, making it the fastest four-door Aston Martin of its era.

However, the Rapide AMR is far more than outright performance. Benefitting from extensive chassis revisions including recalibrated adaptive dampers, a lowered ride height, enhanced suspension geometry and larger carbon ceramic brakes, it offers sharper handling and greater driver engagement while retaining the effortless refinement expected of an Aston Martin Grand Tourer. It is equally at home carving through an alpine pass as it is covering hundreds of motorway miles in complete comfort with the entire family.

Visually, the Rapide AMR possesses an unmistakable presence. Carbon fibre aerodynamic enhancements, including the front splitter, rear diffuser and boot spoiler, are complemented by a dramatic front grille, lightweight forged alloy wheels and a host of gloss black and carbon fibre detailing unique to the AMR programme.

Inside, the cabin exemplifies luxury with a distinctly sporting edge. Sumptuous leather and Alcantara upholstery combine with carbon fibre trim, AMR-specific detailing and embroidered headrests to create an environment that is both luxurious and focused. Despite its performance credentials, the Rapide AMR remains a genuine four-seat grand tourer, offering impressive comfort and practicality without compromising its exclusivity.

Of the planned production run of 210 examples, only 188 cars were ever made, with 47 of those destined for UK roads. The car presented here is one of those 47, having first been registered in November 2019. The car is finished in an all-black specification. Onyx Black paintwork, with satin and diamond cut wheels and black brake calipers alongside an Obsidian Black leather and carbon fibre interior with contrast Lime Green stitch and piping.

The traditional ‘ski slope’ centre console is finished in twill carbon fibre and extends throughout the full length of the car into the rear of the cabin.

Benefiting from a comprehensive service history, the car has been inspected and prepared for sale by our dedicated workshop team. As such, the car presents in excellent condition throughout and is ready for its next custodian. It will be supplied with a 12-month warranty for additional peace of mind.

The Rapide AMR occupies a unique position within Aston Martin's modern lineage. It represents not only the ultimate Rapide, but also one of the last great naturally aspirated V12 Aston Martins. An increasingly significant distinction as the automotive world embraces downsizing and electrification.
