The Rapide S is hard to miss at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, thanks to its gracious styling. The major difference from the last generation model is it’s new, bigger grille, and more refined, smoother lines throughout the exterior.
This Rapide S replaces the outgoing Rapide, and will be priced around $200,000.
