I had a chance to drive a buddy's 2017 Aston Martin Rapide S on July 4th and boy was it pretty to look at with its 4 doors.
It claimed to be pretty fast with its V-12 5935 cm3 / 361.4 cui, 411.5 kW / 560 PS / 552 hp (ECE) with a 0-60 time of 4.0 seconds so I took it out and turned it on and loved the purr of the V12 engine. The engone really did purr and sound awesome.
I then took it and stomped on the accelerator, and boy was I disappointed. I even tried again with the manual flapper things. I guess it is fast for an ICE car, but damn the difference between it and my 2015 P85D was unbelievable. You should have seen my buddy's face when I told him how disappointed I was in its performance.
Sad but true. I guess we are spoiled with our Teslas.I know I am.
