More Luxury Per Square Inch

2011 Aston Martin Rapide Luxe
If you thought the Aston Martin Rapide couldn't get anymore luxurious, think again. You may recall me posting a picture of a Rapide that looked exactly like this one. This is the Aston Martin Rapide Luxe. It's your regular Aston Martin Rapide with the 6.0-liter DB9 V12 engine and 470 horsepower, but with more luxurious amenities. For example, this package comes with a choice of two new luxurious colors: "007" Quantum Silver (as seen above) and Concours Blue. The seats are now made of a much richer leather and now come with a wider variety of colors to choose from, for example this Chancellor Red interior as seen here...

The Rear DVD Entertainment System now comes standard on all Luxe models. This system features a 6-Disc changer for hours of entertainment, similar to that of the Range Rover Sport.

You also get two keys: one with the regular amenities and one made out of the stainless steel and glass for a more luxurious taste.

The rims are now 20-inch luxurious ones that have been specially polished by Aston Martin through an intensive process, they claim, lasted for 90 minutes (a lot of wheel polish!).

The Luxe also comes with a Bespoke 6-piece leather luggage set of which, as an option, you can have it with a color that matches or contrasts with your car's leather seats.

All the seats in the Rapide are heated, but the Luxe's front and rear seats are ventilated. Once ventilation is turned on, you can choose from three temperature settings. During ventilation, the leather from the inner seat becomes perforated to allow more air to flow through the seats giving you more comfort.

So, this is one very luxurious Rapide. The price for all of this has not been announced, but expect it to be very expensive.
