In a dazzling tribute to six decades of open-top grandeur, Aston Martin unveils its newest masterpiece: the Vanquish Volante. Crowned as the world’s fastest and most powerful front-engine convertible, this latest expression of performance and beauty redefines the pinnacle of ultra-luxury motoring.
The Vanquish Volante arrives not merely as an automobile, but as a breathtaking orchestration of power and grace. With its sculptural silhouette and purposeful stance, it shares the throne alongside its coupé counterpart as the fastest, most powerful front-engine production car in existence today. This is not just a car—it is a celebration, an embodiment of Aston Martin's indelible spirit, launched in perfect synchrony with the 60th anniversary of the revered Volante name.
Beneath its exquisitely contoured bonnet lies a force of nature: a newly engineered 5.2-litre V12 engine, delivering an electrifying 835PS and 1000Nm of torque, propelling the Vanquish Volante to a top speed of 214mph. It captures all the intoxicating thrill of the coupé while offering a more visceral, sensory encounter—an unparalleled communion between car, driver, and sky.
Yet what sets the Vanquish Volante apart is not merely its performance, but the rare elegance with which it delivers it. Aston Martin’s design ethos ensures that the car's breathtaking beauty is unmarred by compromise. With only a whisper of added weight compared to its coupé sibling, the Volante retains a taut, athletic poise, wrapped in lines as fluid as the wind it invites into the cabin. It is a convertible without concessions—an alchemy of style, power, and precision.
This crowning jewel carries the legacy of a storied lineage. The Short Chassis Volante of 1965, a delicate fusion of the DB5 Convertible and DB6 Volante, marked the genesis of the Volante name. With only 37 examples ever crafted, it remains one of Aston Martin’s rarest treasures, setting an enduring standard of open-air artistry that the new Vanquish Volante gloriously inherits.
In the Vanquish Volante, Aston Martin doesn't just revisit its past—it soars beyond it, crafting a future where speed, craftsmanship, and beauty meet beneath an endless sky.
