A New Benchmark in Ultra-Luxury Performance

Gaydon, Warwickshire – March 25, 2025 – Aston Martin has officially introduced the Vanquish Volante, an ultra-luxury convertible that sets new records in performance, design, and engineering. The fastest and most powerful open-top production Aston Martin to date, the Vanquish Volante embodies the pinnacle of front-engine convertible performance with a stunning top speed of 214 mph and acceleration from 0-62 mph in just 3.4 seconds.

The new flagship model arrives as part of Aston Martin’s celebration of 60 years of Volante production, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s legacy of high-performance open-top grand tourers.

Unparalleled Performance with a Powerful V12 Engine

At the heart of the Vanquish Volante is Aston Martin’s latest twin-turbocharged 5.2-litre V12 engine, generating an astonishing 835PS and 1000Nm of torque. This makes it the most powerful front-engine production car on sale today. Paired with an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission and an advanced electronic differential (E-diff), the Volante offers exceptional responsiveness, control, and agility.

Aston Martin’s engineers have also integrated Bilstein DTX dampers, enhancing the car’s ride quality across different driving modes, from smooth GT cruising to dynamic Sport+ performance. The carbon ceramic braking system, which is 27 kg lighter than conventional brakes, ensures superior stopping power while maintaining control during high-speed maneuvers.

Innovative Convertible Roof and Lightweight Engineering

The Vanquish Volante features an advanced K-fold roof system, capable of opening in just 14 seconds and closing in 16 seconds, even at speeds of up to 31 mph (50 km/h). Unlike many convertibles, this new design maintains the structural rigidity and aerodynamic efficiency of its coupe counterpart while adding only 95 kg in weight.

Constructed with a bonded aluminum chassis, the Volante boasts a 75% increase in lateral stiffness compared to previous models, ensuring a stable and responsive driving experience. The convertible’s Pirelli P ZERO™ tires, developed specifically for the Vanquish, further optimize grip and performance in both summer and winter conditions.

Timeless Design with Modern Technology

Retaining the bold styling of the Vanquish Coupe, the Volante showcases Aston Martin’s signature front grille, Matrix LED headlights, and a Kamm tail rear design. The roof, when retracted, is neatly stowed beneath a tonneau cover, preserving the car’s sleek and uninterrupted silhouette.

Inside, the cabin offers cutting-edge technology blended with luxurious craftsmanship. The 10.25-inch TFT digital driver display and Pure Black touchscreen infotainment system provide an intuitive and high-tech user experience. Additionally, Bowers & Wilkins’ 15-speaker surround sound system ensures an unmatched auditory experience, whether the roof is up or down.

The sports seats, available in carbon fibre Performance Seat options, offer a tailored fit for a wide range of drivers, reinforcing the car’s dynamic nature. The cockpit layout ensures effortless access to critical controls, including the drive mode selector, traction control, and an exhaust sound enhancer.

A Legacy of Excellence

Speaking on the launch, Adrian Hallmark, Aston Martin CEO, remarked:
“For 60 years, Aston Martin Volantes have defined the art of elegant, sporting, open-top motoring. The Vanquish Volante takes this legacy to an entirely new level with its breathtaking performance, exquisite design, and advanced engineering.”

Marek Reichman, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer, added:
“Creating a true flagship Volante is rare. This model represents the ultimate blend of beauty, performance, and technology, ensuring that Aston Martin continues to lead the way in ultra-luxury convertible design.”

With its limited production numbers, the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante stands as a collectible masterpiece, combining unrivaled speed, luxurious craftsmanship, and the pure thrill of open-air driving. As a new benchmark in ultra-luxury high-performance vehicles, it solidifies Aston Martin’s position as a leader in the world of grand touring excellence.
