A brand new Aston Martin Rapide S was what birthday boy Ranveer Singh gifted himself as he turned 32 years old. The Bollywood actor was spotted driving his newest prized possession late night in Mumbai with his friend and fellow actor Deepika Padukone joining him for the drive. The British brand is known for its exquisite style and powerful V12 engines, but the Rapide does one better by adding rear seats to what is essentially a sports car underneath. Sources close to the actor have said that the Rapide S reportedly cost him a whopping Rs. 3.8 crore.

The Aston Martin Rapide is one of the few four door performance saloons you can get your hands on. The British beauty uses a 6-litre V12 of a monstrous engine under the hood that belts out 552 bhp of power at 6000 rpm and 630 Nm of peak torque that kicks in at 5000 rpm, while paired to a ZF-sourced 8-speed automatic transmission. It is the most powerful Rapide engine ever built by the automaker and helps the saloon sprint from 0-100 kmph in just 4.2 seconds. The top speed is rated at 327 kmph.
