The Ultimate Volante

Purity through
Evolution

 

2012 saw Vanquish unveiled to acclaim - exceptional technology combined with pure beauty. Our world-leading design team created a car instantly recognisable as Aston Martin but with a bold new look; lithe and honed, elegant and muscular. To create Vanquish Volante our designers worked to refine a convertible body shape. Retaining proportion and balance, ensuring exact aerodynamic performance, creating distinctive convertible styling - the Ultimate Volante.

Great Design From Simplicity

 

A roof that's simple to use and simple to change. We designed Vanquish Volante without complication or clutter. Taking just 14 secs to remove, with just one button push, the lightweight fabric roof fits snugly beneath the tonneau cover with no impact on exterior styling.

What’s more, you don’t have to stop, the Vanquish Volante roof can be folded at up to 30mph

Sophistication &
Power

“Vanquish Volante is a sports car, but more even than that it is the ultimate Volante. A car which follows a long line of elegant Aston Martin convertibles, this super GT is sculpted to convey sophistication as much as raw power."
Aston Martin Director of Design - Marek Reichman

Exquisite Form, Advanced Function


Advanced carbon fibre allowed us to create the now iconic Vanquish rear aero-duct. Optimised for Vanquish Volante this single moulded piece improves downforce and aerodynamic performance. Taking over two days to make, this integral part combines detailed craftsmanship and purity of form. Vanquish Volante also sees the subtle integration of the rear stop lamp, blending it into the surface of the decklid.

Designed for Performance


Only Aston Martin could create a convertible which maintained the aerodynamic performance of a coupe. Stability at speed. Sharp cornering. Minimised drag. The combination of re-engineered body panels and the advanced rear aero-duct help create lift balance whether the roof is up or down.

Pure, Flowing Lines

An enhanced, flowing front profile from a new full-height windscreen. A first for Aston Martin, we’ve removed the top body coloured surround and extended the windscreen to meet the fabric roof. Improved visibility and a cleaner profile, Vanquish Volante once again combines design and engineering in one stunning package.

A Suit of Carbon


Vanquish is the first Aston Martin Volante to be sculpted entirely from carbon-fibre. The only material we could use to create the exterior form our designers wanted. Lightweight but with a phenomenal strength-to-weight ratio this advanced material allowed our designers to create the muscular yet smooth form befitting our Super GT. Exposed carbon fibre styling also offers a subtle contrast to paint and brightwork to create a striking visual effect.

One Car, Two Appearances

We created a profile that looks beautiful with roof up or down. Vanquish Volante’s key feature saw intensive design work. You can contrast exterior paint, roof colour and interior design as Vanquish Volante adds further personalisation to an extensive palette. Subtle, sporting or luxurious colours can be blended to create the Vanquish you want, twice.

Great Sounds – Even when
Inside is Outside

A sophisticated package also sounds sophisticated. The 1000w Bang & Olufsen BeoSound audio system - specially developed for Vanquish Volante - coming as standard. Sound equalisation constantly monitors cabin noise and changes audio settings. With thirteen speakers, all built discreetly and consistently into the cabin. Roof up, or roof down, Vanquish Volante always sounds great.

More Luxurious & More Practical


Vanquish Volante combines, elegance, performance and practicality. One stunning number tells the story – 50% more boot capacity than DBS Volante. With 279ltrs of storage our engineers used the carbon-fibre structure to achieve more rear room. Some convertibles reduce capacity for roof-down driving, not Vanquish, rear boot capacity is always consistent.

Vanquish introduced a new benchmark for GT luxury. Vanquish Volante goes further. Our craftsmen work only with authentic materials to create an interior of outright luxury.
