The Rapide S carries nearly two tonnes of Aston Martin at considerable speed, and the factory Adaptive Damping System does an admirable job of keeping it composed on the motorway. At a track day, or on a fast B-road at 8/10ths, that picture changes. The stock ADS is calibrated for grand touring comfort, not for managing the body roll that a 565bhp V12 generates when you start using the full width of a circuit.
Designed for owners who use the Rapide S at the occasional track day while keeping it fully driveable on the road between events, the XYZ Racing Top Sport coilover runs a spring rate and damping specification that bridges the two worlds – firmer than the ADS’s softest map, but not so stiff that the car becomes a chore across broken road surfaces.
What this coilover does for your 2013-2026 Aston Martin Rapide S
The Top Sport runs 30-50% greater damping and a 2kg/mm stiffer spring rate than street-spec suspension. On the Rapide S, that translates to a measurable reduction in body roll through long, fast corners – the kind that expose the factory setup’s tendency to load up and then release unpredictably as the weight transfers. Tyre contact patch consistency improves, which matters considerably given the car’s kerb weight and the traction demands of a V12 rear-drive platform. On the road, the firmer spec absorbs large-amplitude inputs – speed humps, broken tarmac edges – more effectively than a simple spring swap would, because the damper travel is calibrated to complement the higher rate rather than fight it.
About the Top Sport coilover
The Top Sport series is XYZ Racing’s track-and-road coilover, developed from their competition programme and adjusted for cars that split time between circuit sessions and everyday driving. The hardware runs a 30-50% damping increase over street settings and a 2kg/mm spring rate uplift – numbers drawn from track-usage experience rather than a catalogue decision. That combination suppresses the body shock of hard cornering and poor road surfaces, increases tyre traction under load, and delivers the handling response that the Rapide S’s V12 has always warranted from the factory. The spec is built for aggressive driving and circuit work without demanding the setup compromises of a pure track system.
