Aston Martin Rapide S

The Aston Martin Rapide S reaches 60 mph in 4.12 s (100 km/h in 4.29 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.35 s, tripping the lights at 118.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.06 s and the eighth mile in 8.10 s, reaching 100 mph in 8.90 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Rapide S

The 2012 Aston Martin Rapide S is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,990 kg with 550 bhp, which works out at 276 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 276 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.06 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,208th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 44th quickest of the 84 Aston Martins here. Its 118.1 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Aston Martin Rapide S 0-60 time?
The Aston Martin Rapide S reaches 60 mph in 4.12 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,208th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Aston Martin Rapide S quarter mile time?
12.35 s at 118.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.10 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.06 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Aston Martin Rapide S have?
550 bhp and 1,990 kg, which is 276 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 327 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Aston Martin Rapide S?
Closest here on pace: BMW M5 E60 (4.07 s), Ferrari 575 Maranello (4.11 s), Ferrari 612 Scaglietti (4.01 s). Each one can be raced against the Aston Martin Rapide S in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Aston Martin Rapide S is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
