What is it? £170,000 is a hell of a lot of money but Aston Martin has not shied away from climbing into the thin air of at the top-end of the automotive market. The DBS Volante is as dramatic and hi-tech a production car as the company has ever launched, but it’s also £80k more than the Vantage and £50k more than the DB9 Volante. Based on the longer version of Aston’s aluminium VH platform, the DBS Volante gets a number of – much needed – technical improvements over its DB9 Volante sister car. A new six-point subframe and extra ‘sheer plate’ bolted to the chassis mean the Volante is only 25 percent less rigid than the coupe. Like the coupe, the Volante gets a carbonfibre bonnet, wings and boot lid and new design of carbon rear deck. The hood has also been improved over the DB9, with extra layer of (insulative and sound deadening) Thinsulate and it can now be operated at speeds up to 30mph. It also folds in just 14sec, three seconds quicker than the DB9. Full Story: Autocar - Aston Martin DBS 5.9 V12 Volante Lord have mercy.....a breathless convertible. The only car where I'd have the coupe and the convertible in my fantasy garage. M
