Aston Martin DBS Volante
DBS Volante featuring a motorised retractable fabric roof, fully retractable in only 14 seconds and at up to speeds of 30 mph (48 kph), 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-litre V12 engine producing 510 bhp (380 kW / 517 PS), and 570 Nm (420 lb ft) of torque with a top speed of 191 mph (307 km/h) and 0-62 mph (0-100 kp/h) time of 4.3 seconds.
2+2 featuring two occasional rear seats, ideal for younger persons or extra luggage. In standard specification, the DBS has a rear-mounted six-speed manual gearbox, while an automatic six-speed ‘Touchtronic’ option is also available. As with the coupe, the Volante is offered with carbon ceramic brakes as standard providing exceptional stopping power.
The DBS Volante also comes with Bang & Olufsen’s renowned ‘BeoSound DBS’ incar entertainment system, featuring 13 speakers as standard equipment.
