Aston Martin has officially unveiled the Vanquish Volante which is expected to go on sale in the UK and Continental Europe late in 2013.
Instantly becoming one of the most beautiful cars in its class, the Vanquish Volante is powered by a 6.0-liter V12 engine from the coupe with 573 hp at 6,750 rpm and 620 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. This allows the 1,844 kg convertible to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds and hit a top speed of 294 km/h.
The Vanquish Volante is the first fully carbon fiber-skinned Volante in the brand's 100-year history, while also being the stiffest Volante body structure yet created by the engineering team at Aston Martin’s global HQ in Gaydon, Warwickshire, England. The triple-skin lightweight fabric roof takes just 14 seconds to fold.
As practical as it is well-dressed, the stunning sports car features a boot that’s fully 50% larger than that of the previous DBS Volante. It measures 279-liter - roof up or down - and makes the new Aston Martin the perfect choice for continent-crossing grand tours as well as daily drives.
Perhaps one of the most striking interior design elements is the centre stack with refinements providing a more elegant form that is also more intuitive and accessible for both driver and front seat passenger.
The user interface boasts a simple, ergonomically efficient layout as well as technological updates that make it the brand’s most advanced in-car system available today.
The Aston Martin Vanquish Volante will have a starting price of £199,995 in the UK, €264,995 in Germany, $297,995 in the United States and $323,974 in Dubai.
