Aston Martin Vanquish Volante: Fastest Front-Engine Convertible

Aston Martin Vanquish Volante: A Masterpiece of Power and Elegance Now in the Spotlight

Aston Martin has officially raised the bar in the ultra-luxury convertible segment with the arrival of the breathtaking Vanquish Volante — the fastest and most powerful front-engine convertible ever produced by the British marque. As a tribute to 60 years of Volante history, this flagship model combines the unrelenting performance of a 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine with the aesthetic purity of a finely sculpted roadster, promising a truly unforgettable open-air driving experience.

Delivering a jaw-dropping 835PS and 1000Nm of torque, the Vanquish Volante rockets to a top speed of 214mph. With all that muscle channelled to the rear wheels via a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission and rear-mounted electronic differential, this convertible is not just a statement — it’s a symphony of speed and control.

A Legendary Name Reinvented

The Volante name carries immense heritage, originating from the rare Short Chassis Volante in 1965. Only 37 were made, but the legacy it started now lives on in a car that’s as much a feat of modern engineering as it is a nod to classic Aston Martin craftsmanship.

The new Vanquish Volante is built on a bonded aluminium structure for maximum stiffness and minimal weight gain — only 95kg more than its coupe sibling — ensuring the open-top version delivers the same supercar dynamics. Whether cruising in GT mode or engaging Sport+, the car adapts seamlessly, offering either refined grand touring comfort or razor-sharp agility.

Exterior Design: Bold Meets Beautiful

Vanquish Volante’s design is nothing short of stunning. A long, sloping bonnet with F1-inspired louvres, a sharp Kamm tail, and dramatic wheel arches give it a strong, athletic presence. The roof — a lightweight, acoustically tuned K-fold system — stows away in just 14 seconds, enabling instant transformation from coupe-like comfort to open-top exhilaration. Even more impressive is that the roof operation can be controlled remotely via the key fob.

The distinctive vaned grille has been enlarged by 13% for improved engine cooling, and Matrix LED headlights add a high-tech flair. Aerodynamic improvements such as sleeker mirrors, flush door handles, and improved airflow channels all contribute to both performance and visual appeal.

Interior Craftsmanship and Innovation

Inside, Vanquish Volante is a sanctuary of ultra-luxury. The cabin offers a driver-centric design with tactile physical controls, a 10.25” TFT digital display, and an intuitive Pure Black touchscreen. The 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system delivers premium audio quality to match the intensity of the drive.

Whether it’s the carbon fibre Performance Seats or the newly introduced Sport Plus seats, every touchpoint in the cabin speaks of precision and comfort. There's ample customisation potential, too — especially with the Q by Aston Martin program, which allows for fully bespoke interiors, right down to hand-stitched initials in the headrests.

Engineering Excellence

The dynamic capabilities of Vanquish Volante are second to none. The Bilstein DTX adaptive damping system, carbon ceramic brakes, and advanced traction and stability systems all work in harmony to deliver a drive that’s both thrilling and confidence-inspiring. The specially designed Pirelli P ZERO™ tyres ensure optimal grip whether you're cruising down Sheikh Zayed Road or navigating mountain bends in Hatta.

A Convertible Like No Other

The new Vanquish Volante isn’t just another convertible — it’s a crown jewel in Aston Martin’s legacy. With a lineage rooted in 60 years of elegant, high-performance motoring and a future-forward design and engineering philosophy, this flagship model delivers on every front. Limited numbers and bespoke build options ensure exclusivity, making it a dream for collectors and performance enthusiasts alike.
