Finally, it's here. Aston Martin has completely revamped its lineup. After the DB12 range and the Vantage range, here is the latest version of the Vanquish range, the Volante, completing the British manufacturer's catalog (alongside the DBX SUV and the Valkyrie and Valhalla hypercars).
Unparalleled Power and Performance
The heart of the Vanquish Volante is Aston Martin's new 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 engine, producing an impressive 835 horsepower and 1000 Nm of torque (830 for the naturally aspirated Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider). With a top speed of 214 mph, this convertible is set to deliver a visceral driving experience, combining the thrill of open-air driving with the raw power and sound of a supercar.
Precision Engineering
Aston Martin has dedicated itself to ensuring that the heavy Vanquish Volante maintains the dynamic characteristics of the coupé, despite the removal of the roof. The bonded aluminum structure, optimized for increased lateral rigidity (a 75% increase over the previous model), contributes to precise and engaging handling.
- V12 Engine: The engine, with nearly double the power increase in 25 years, delivers maximum torque at low revs, ensuring immediate response.
- Transmission and Differential: The gearbox is an eight-speed ZF, positioned on the rear axle for ideal weight distribution, and features an electronic rear differential (E-diff).
- Adaptive Suspension: Bilstein DTX dampers allow precise wheel control and differentiation between driving modes (GT, Sport, and Sport+).
- Braking System: The standard carbon-ceramic braking system ensures braking capability, with a 27kg (59,52 lb) weight reduction compared to conventional iron discs.
- Pirelli P ZERO Tires: Developed specifically for the Vanquish, the tires promise optimized grip and performance in all conditions.
Elegant and Functional Design
The Vanquish Volante maintains the contemporary elegance of the coupé, with a muscular presence and fluid curves. Details such as the Formula 1-inspired ventilation grilles and the "Kamm" tail give it a distinctive look.
- Retractable Roof: The lightweight "K-fold" roof opens in 14 seconds and closes in 16, and can be operated while moving at up to 50 km/h (31 mph). The storage height of only 260 mm (10,24 in) does not compromise the car's elegant lines.
- Exterior Details: The enlarged front grille, LED Matrix headlights, and frameless rearview mirrors contribute to the aerodynamics and sophisticated look.
- Exhaust System: The stainless steel exhaust system, with four tailpipes, enhances the V12 sound. An optional titanium system is available for an even more intense sound experience.
Luxury Interior and Advanced Technology
The interior of the Vanquish Volante is designed to provide an exclusive sensory experience. The combination of modern technology and high-quality materials creates a luxurious and intuitive environment.
- Two-Seat Configuration: Instead of falling into the temptation of a useless 2+2 configuration, the interior was designed specifically for two occupants, maximizing space and comfort.
- State-of-the-Art Technology: The 10.25-inch TFT digital instrument panel and the 10.25-inch touchscreen offer full connectivity.
- Bowers & Wilkins Sound System: The 15-speaker surround sound system provides an immersive audio experience.
- Q by Aston Martin Personalization: For those seeking even greater personalization, the Q by Aston Martin service allows for the creation of a truly unique car.
The Vanquish Volante is the culmination of 60 years of "Volante" designation history at Aston Martin. From the rare 1965 Short Chassis Volante to the latest models, the "Volante" designation has always represented the pinnacle of luxury and high-performance convertibles.
The Aston Martin Vanquish Volante is available for order in limited numbers (1000 units per year for all Vanquish versions combined), with the first deliveries scheduled for the third quarter of 2025. This model represents the pinnacle of Aston Martin engineering and design, offering an unparalleled driving experience for high-performance convertible enthusiasts.
