Aston Martin Rapide S
Aston Martin and technology company Letv
have teamed up to unveil a very special Rapide S at CES 2016.
In creating the car, it has been
installed with the Letv Internet of the Vehicle (IOV) system which replaces the
British sedan's traditional centre console and instrument panel with two large
digital displays.
The centre console consists of a massive
13.3-inch HD touchscreen similar to the display found on the Tesla Model S.
Meanwhile, the gauge cluster now consists solely of a 12.2 inch screen
displaying all the vital information you'd expect from regular gauges. Both of
the screens include speech recognition technology for hands-free use.
Beyond these new features, the Rapide S
AutoLink is in fact the same as the all-electric RapidE concept introduced back
in October. That vehicle was created to preview an impending Model S-rivaling
variant of the Rapide, particularly focusing on the Chinese market.
Aston Martin is renowned for the beauty
and quality of its hand-crafted cars. The integration of Letv advanced
connected technologies into this bespoke environment is a natural progression
as we look to the future demands of customers.
