The world’s fastest, most powerful front-engine convertible is born. The Aston Martin Vanquish Volante, is powered by a new 5.2-litre V12 engine delivering 835PS and 1000Nm of torque with a top speed of 214mph (342 kph). The Vanquish Volante boasts a 0-62mph dash in just 3.4 seconds.
Designed purposely as a 2-seat configuration, precision craftmanship runs through Vanquish Volante and with a retractable roof, now delivers an unmatched sensory experience for the driver and passenger.
Power is fed to the rear wheels via an eight-speed ZF gearbox located within the rear axle for optimal weight balance. Capable of transitioning from fully open to 100% locked in 135 milliseconds, the E-diff provides unprecedented bandwidth and benefits.
Combined with the latest Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) technology, dynamic capability is significantly improved, providing greater agility in low and medium speed cornering whilst offering greater control in oversteer and high-speed lane change conditions.
The new Vanquish Volante is the crown jewel in a model lineage extending back 60 years. The first Aston Martin to receive the name was the little-known Short Chassis Volante of 1965, comprising design elements of both the convertible DB5 that preceded it and DB6 Volante that succeeded it.
