The Ultimate Luxury: Aston Martin DB12 Volante Unveiled
The Unveiling of the Aston Martin DB12 Volante
I must confess, Aston Martin’s convertibles never fail to impress me. Following the success of the DBS Volante, the latest astonishment from the luxury automaker—the Aston Martin DB12 Volante—seems poised to continue the legacy of excellence. If it mirrors the performance of its coupe version, it could reach new levels of greatness.
Performance Excellence
The DB12 Volante shares striking similarities with its hard-top sibling, the DB12, inheriting the enhancements from the outgoing DB11. Boasting a robust 671-horsepower twin-turbo Mercedes-AMG V8 engine, a ZF eight-speed transmission, an electronically controlled limited-slip differential, and reinforced underbody structures, the DB12 Volante promises a thrilling driving experience.
Structural Enhancements
To compensate for the convertible design, the Volante received strategic reinforcements in key areas such as the rear upper suspension mounting points, engine cross brace, and underbody braces. Additionally, minor tweaks like increased rear spring rates and a 3.7% boost in torsional rigidity ensure optimal performance. With Aston-spec Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tires and an upgraded interior that surpasses the DB11, the DB12 Volante is the epitome of opulence.
Luxurious Interior
Indulge in the opulence of the DB12 Volante’s interior, featuring exquisite details like seatback trim panels coordinated with the door inlays—a Volante exclusive. With the option for a powerful 1,170-watt 15-speaker Bowers and Wilkins audio system, complete with speakers in the convertible top for a 3D sound experience, every drive becomes a symphony. The revamped Aston Martin infotainment system elevates the driving experience to new heights.
