Q by Aston Martin Marks 60 Years of Volante with Anniversary Editions

Q by Aston Martin Celebrates 60 Years of Volante with Exclusive Anniversary Editions

10 September 2025, Gaydon, UK – Few names in the world of luxury performance cars carry as much history and allure as Volante. For 60 years, this name has defined Aston Martin’s open-top grand tourers, delivering the unmatched thrill of roof-down driving. To mark this milestone, Q by Aston Martin, the brand’s bespoke service, has unveiled the 60th Anniversary of Volante Editions, featuring two icons: the Vanquish Volante and the DB12 Volante.

Vanquish Volante: The Pinnacle of Performance

At the very top of Aston Martin’s convertible range sits the Vanquish Volante, powered by a ferocious 5.2-litre V12 twin-turbo engine. With an astonishing 835PS and 1000Nm of torque, this two-seater accelerates from 0–60 mph in just 3.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 214 mph.

It is not only the fastest but also the most powerful convertible Aston Martin has ever built. Designed for those who demand nothing less than pure dominance and exclusivity, the Vanquish Volante is the definition of a performance masterpiece.

DB12 Volante: The World’s First Super Tourer

For those who seek versatility blended with ultra-luxury, the DB12 Volante offers the perfect balance. Powered by a hand-built 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo, it produces 680PS and 800Nm of torque, with a top speed of 202 mph and 0–60 mph in 3.6 seconds.

With its 2+2 seating layout, refined comfort, and cutting-edge technology, the DB12 Volante redefines what a grand tourer should be — dynamic, elegant, and usable every day.

A Legacy of Volante

The Volante name dates back to 1965, first appearing on the ultra-rare Short Chassis Volante, of which only 37 units were built. Since then, Volante has become synonymous with Aston Martin convertibles — offering drivers an unrivaled sensory experience of open-air motoring.

Both the new Vanquish and DB12 Volante feature lightweight K-fold roofs, opening in just 14 seconds and closing in 16 seconds, even at speeds of up to 31 mph.

Exclusive Q by Aston Martin Design

The 60th Anniversary Editions showcase bespoke craftsmanship by Q, blending history with modern artistry:

• Exterior: Finished in Q Pentland Green paint with a Westminster Green hood, accented by anodised bronze details.
• Wheels: Exclusive 21-inch satin bronze wheels with diamond-turned edges, paired with black Aston Martin brake calipers.
• Grille & Side Strakes: Reimagined in anodised bronze, precision-milled, serving both as design highlights and aerodynamic enhancements.
• Interior: A tri-tone palette of Centenary Saddle Tan, Ivory, and Woven leather, enriched by Dark Walnut veneers, bronze touchpoints, and bespoke 60th Anniversary embroidery.

Every detail embodies the rarity, performance, and timeless beauty of Volante.

Exclusivity at Its Finest

Production of these special editions is strictly limited to 60 units of each model worldwide. Deliveries will begin in Q4 2025, ensuring that these bespoke Aston Martins remain among the most exclusive offerings in the luxury performance car market.

As Jolyon Nash, Chief Commercial Officer at Aston Martin, explains:
“Volante is one of Aston Martin’s most evocative names, representing six decades of the ultimate open-top driving experience. With the 60th Anniversary of Volante Editions, we’ve created a truly exclusive celebration of that legacy — bringing together the raw power of Vanquish Volante and the refined versatility of DB12 Volante.”

Conclusion

The 60th Anniversary of Volante Editions stand as more than just cars — they are a celebration of Aston Martin’s heritage, a showcase of Q by Aston Martin’s bespoke craftsmanship, and a statement of exclusivity for the world’s most discerning collectors.
