XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Aston Martin RAPIDE S 2013-2026

The Rapide S occupies an unusual space in the grand tourer world: a four-door saloon built on Aston Martin’s VH aluminium platform, carrying a 6.0-litre V12 over the front axle and a transaxle at the rear to balance the mass. That near-50:50 weight distribution is the architecture’s great strength, but a car in this class approaches two tonnes, and getting that weight to work with the suspension rather than against it is precisely the problem a well-chosen coilover addresses.

The Super Sport sits at the practical intersection of fast-road and weekend circuit use. On a grand tourer of this size and character, that means eliminating the body float and vagueness that a softly sprung factory setup introduces at speed, while retaining enough compliance that the Rapide S remains the long-distance machine it was always designed to be.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2026 Aston Martin Rapide S

The Rapide S’s factory adaptive damping is competent, but it operates within limits set by a car built primarily for comfort at motorway pace. Fitted with the Super Sport coilover, body control over fast compressions tightens considerably – particularly noticeable under the front V12’s load on turn-in. Height adjustment lets you address the car’s factory stance without disrupting suspension geometry, and the 36-way damper adjustment spans enough range to cover everything from daily driving to a committed track day session. For owners at higher mileages where adaptive damper components have been replaced or are failing, a fixed-rate coilover also simplifies the maintenance picture significantly.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s dual-purpose damper, positioned between a pure road setup and a dedicated circuit kit. Its design addresses ride compliance directly: surface breaks and sharp compressions that would unsettle a firm, lowered car are absorbed without the vagueness of a softened spring. Height is independently adjustable, allowing stance changes without revalving, and the 36 clicks of damping adjustment deliver precise control over how the damper responds to both high-speed and low-speed inputs. XYZ Racing rates the Super Sport for both daily road use and weekend circuit sessions – meaning the Rapide S can be configured to cover a long motorway run on Friday and a track day on Saturday without swapping components between the two.
