Completing the DBS line-up, the new Volante affords customers the combination of the DBS's already-established sports car characteristics with all the thrills associated with a drop-top. The DBS Volante sits atop Aston Martin's convertible lineup, which also includes the mechanically identical DBS Volante and Virage Volante models.
To ensure a top-speed beyond 190 mph, the same 6.0-liter 12-cylinder engine found in the DBS coupe also powers the convertible. With 510 horsepower and a 420 lb-ft. of torque, the DBS Volante will accelerate from a standstill to 62 mph in just a 4.3 seconds.
The DBS Volante comes standard with a six-speed manual gearbox, and has an optional Touchtronic six-speed automatic transmission.
Like the DBS coupe, the DBS Volante uses carbon fiber to form the hood, trunk and front fenders -- resulting in increased performance through weight reduction. The top drops in just 14 seconds at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. It stows beneath an automatic, hard tonneau.
The DBS Volante does come with a pair of small rear seats, but even the automaker admits that they're best left for children or luggage.
This high-performance luxury convertible features an Adaptive Damping System (ADS, which is specifically tuned for the DBS Volante and helps to maximize ride comfort. It uses two separate valves to set the dampers to five different positions, allowing instant adjustment of the car's ride and handling characteristics. The ADS automatically alters the suspension settings to ensure the driver has high levels of control at all times, with the ability to respond instantly to different driving conditions. The dampers can be set to 'soft,' with a corresponding improvement in ride quality, or 'firm,' providing improved body control for more spirited driving.
Standard equipment includes Bang & Olufsen's BeoSound DBS audio system, consisting of 13 individual speakers and Bang & Olufsen's unique Digital Signal Processing system. The DSP system transforms the DBS Volante into an acoustically sophisticated venue, capable of sensing when the roof is up or retracted and adjusts the sound stage to compensate for wind noise and change in acoustics.
The rest of the in-car entertainment includes an I-pod connector, USB connection, a HDD satellite navigation system.
Key Competitors
Looking for an exotic yet luxurious convertible? The closest competitor to the Virage Volante is the Bentley Continental GTC, though the athletic Ferrari California and the retro-flavored Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster are also worth considering.
