DBS Volante Offering the Ultimate Open Air Experience

(continued from above)

Broadening the DBS's character, the DBS Volante appeals to drivers who wish to combine the excitement of driving a finely-tuned sports car with the invigorating feeling of being open to the elements. This juxtaposition of ultimate performance and openness stirs the senses on any drive whether a exhilarating jaunt on favored roads or cruising on lengthy journeys. 'Volante', meaning: 'moving with light rapidity', perfectly defines the performance potential and the dynamic characteristics of the DBS Volante.

Featuring a motorized retractable fabric roof, the DBS's beautiful profile is preserved whether up or down. When the roof is closed, it provides a warm comfortable ambience and when open, it neatly disappears behind the new tonneau cover at the touch of a button.

Aston Martin's Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Ulrich Bez said: "The DBS Volante delivers the utmost relaxed driving experience with the hood up or down. It combines engineering excellence with design perfection.

"The DBS Volante offers a subtle mix of power and performance. Adding to this, the fine craftsmanship - it is an unparalleled ownership and driving experience."

Conceived as a Volante from the outset, Aston Martin engineers opted for a fabric hood to closely follow the silhouette of the DBS coupe and due to its lightweight properties, minimize overall weight gain. Fully retractable in only 14 seconds and at up to speeds of 30 mph, the roof will automatically stow under the newly sculpted tonneau, maintaining the DBS Volante's perfect form - hood up or down.

Power is provided by Aston Martin's hand-built all alloy 6.0-liter V12 engine producing 510 hp, and 420 lb-ft of torque with a top speed of 191 mph and 0-60 mph time of 4.1 seconds. The nature of the V12, and in particular the torque available at all engine speeds, serves to provide effortless driving in all situations.
