Aston Martin unveils the Vanquish Volante, a flagship convertible that seamlessly merges raw power with refined elegance. Following the debut of the Vanquish Coupe, this open-top masterpiece delivers more than just an exhilarating, it redefines what open-top driving can be. A stunning celebration of the Volante name’s 60th anniversary, this latest marvel is as much a tribute to heritage as it is a jaw-dropping statement of intent.
The Vanquish Volante draws its power from the same formidable 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V-12 found in the coupe. Delivering an exhilarating 824 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, this powerhouse ensures uncompromising performance.
To preserve the Volante’s razor-sharp handling and structural integrity, Aston Martin’s engineers have equipped it with a newly bonded aluminum chassis and strategic reinforcements. The outcome? A convertible that handles like a supercar yet glides like a grand tourer. This balance is achieved through a meticulously tuned chassis, bespoke suspension calibration, and cutting-edge Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers, which seamlessly shift the driving dynamics from poised refinement to razor-sharp precision at the touch of a button.
The Vanquish Volante is a true head-turner. Its elongated, sculpted hood, flowing lines, and commanding stance hint at the power beneath the surface. A striking kicked-up Kamm tail and the signature Aston Martin “Shield” elegantly floating above the rear bumper complete the design with a touch of sculptural sophistication.
Like all Volante cars, there is the K-fold roof mechanism on offer with minimal weight increase and some structural reinforcement. The K-fold fabric open in just 14 seconds and closes in 16, and can be operated at speeds up to 31 mph, or remotely via the key fob for added convenience.
Inside, the Vanquish Volante masterfully fuses handcrafted luxury with cutting-edge technology. The sculpted seats, available in standard Sports Plus or optional carbon fiber Performance spec, offer a perfect blend of comfort and support. Designed to accommodate drivers of all sizes, they deliver a snug yet luxurious fit, ensuring an engaging driving experience without compromising freedom of movement creating an environment that is both refined and driver-focused. For audiophiles, the standard Bowers & Wilkins 15-speaker surround sound system delivers an immersive, concert-hall experience—even with the top down.
A 10.25-inch TFT digital display ensures crystal-clear visibility of key information, while the 10.25-inch Pure Black touchscreen seamlessly integrates with physical controls, striking a perfect balance between classic tactility and modern innovation. The result is an intuitive, luxurious, and elegantly designed interface.
Every Vanquish Volante is remarkable, but for those seeking a truly unique creation, Aston Martin’s Q division is ready to deliver. Whether it’s custom colors, exclusive materials, hand-embroidered headrests, or fully bespoke components, Q by Aston Martin transforms dreams into reality. No detail is overlooked, and no request is too bold.
The launch of the Vanquish Volante celebrates 60 years of the revered “Volante” nameplate, a designation synonymous with Aston Martin’s finest open-top grand tourers. Honoring this legacy, production is limited to fewer than 1,000 units per year, ensuring its rarity and desirability among collectors.
