The building of aston martin sports car attaches great importance to the user’s sensory experience: what you smell is the fragrance of leather, what you feel is the real thing, and what you hear is the pleasant sound. How can we keep the good sound and keep the noise out? This depends on the double-layer window glass design of this sports car, and the sound insulation effect is better.
The power design of 2015 Rapide S focuses on three points: power generation, power distribution and power control. Aston martin’s 2015 Rapide S model is equipped with the latest Bosch engine management system. Thanks to this new intelligent management system, the vehicle can achieve more accurate engine control and seamlessly connect with the latest gearbox.
Close to the perfect weight distribution before and after 48: 52 can significantly improve the dynamic performance of sports cars. The Rapide S is equipped with a brand-new Touchtronic III ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, which maximizes its power output. Touchtronic III defines new standards for performance and shift speed. Eight gears consisting of four gear sets and five gear shifting components are always in the best working condition – Let you enjoy high-quality shifting experience and faster acceleration performance. The combination of Bosch engine management system and eight-speed automatic gearbox shortens the acceleration time of Rapide S 0-100 km/h to 4.4 seconds, and the top speed reaches or exceeds 320 km/h for the first time.
Three different suspensions can reflect the different personality of this car, and show the different states of engine, chassis and stability respectively. The engine mode adjustment button can feel the roar of the throttle and the wonderful sound from the exhaust pipe by stepping on the throttle. The improvement of gearbox software provides a truly comprehensive choice of driving characteristics, such as "normal driving" and "sports driving" modes, and there are two options of "paddle shifting" and "sports paddle shifting", which brings a more fascinating and dynamic shift control experience.
Touchtronic III provides excellent gear shifting performance, enabling fast shifting between different gear ratios, as fast as 130 milliseconds, far exceeding the gear shifting speed that the most skilled racers can reach. At the same time, the improvement of gearbox efficiency makes power and torque transmission higher, which brings better road performance.
The change of transmission device and final transmission ratio not only makes the 2015 sports car faster and more fuel efficient, but also reduces exhaust emissions. The carbon dioxide emissions of Rapide S decreased by 10% on average; At the same time, its fuel economy increased by 11% on average in the European Union suburban cycle test under the same harsh test environment.
