Aston Martins has just taken the top off the Vanquish S
Volante. The new convertible is based
around the immensely sexy Aston Martin Vanquish S unveiled late last year.
That
means that it continues to be powered by a naturally-aspirated 5.9-liter V12
engine delivering 594 hp at 7,000 rpm and 465 lb-ft of torque at 5,500 rpm. Drive is then sent to the rear wheels courtesy of a
re-calibrated 8-speed Touchtronic III transmission.
Compared to the run-of-the-mill Vanquish Volante,
the S-badged model also benefits from a new exhaust system with quad tailpipes.
retuned suspension components and updated anti-roll bar bushes.
Among the most obvious visual tweaks a carbon
fiber-clad front fascia and splitter, new aerodynamic side skirts and an
overhauled rear-end with a menacing diffuser, the aforementioned quad tailpipes
and a flurry of carbon accents. In the USA, prices for the Vanquish S Volante
start at US$ 315,775, making it US$ 18,000 more expensive than its fixed-top sibling.
