British luxury sports car maker Aston Martin uncovers DB12 Volante, that is the convertible variant of the DB12. Committing to “uncompromised” handling and performance provided by DB12 coupe, it is Aston Martin’s most powerful V8 convertible grandtourer (GT).
The latest Volante Model twins beautiful design of its Coupe sibling while providing ample headroom after reducing the fixed metal roof. In its replacement comes an intricate roof with eight layers (yes 8!) of insulation to facilitate that peace of mind during that Long drive.
The company claims that it takes only 14 seconds for the ‘K-fold’ soft top to open and close in just 16 seconds while the car vrooms at the speed of up to 31 mph (50km/h). DB12 Volante lets you operate the roof with key if you are within a two-meter radius. DB12 Volante’s convertible roof is available in the colours red, blue, standard black and ‘black & silver’, along with multiple options for the body and interior colour palette.
The Volante is 111kg heavier than the coupe due to the addition of soft top and stiffening of chassis, as expected it remains identical to its sibling.
