The Aston Martin DB11 Volante has been
spied testing at the Nurburgring. Back in September 2016, Aston
Martin made the surprising decision to release a number of images of a
prototype DB11 Volante, offering the world its first chance to see the new car
and for the most part, this prototype is identical, even down to the stickers
on the doors.
Although it’s not hard to imagine what the DB11
Volante will look like, Aston has gone to the trouble of adorning the rear
wheel arches with additional bodywork but thankfully, these strange-looking
flanks won’t be present on the production car.
Powering the DB11 Volante will be the same 5.2-liter
twin-turbocharged V12 engine as the coupe, delivering 600 hp and 516 lb-ft of
torque. Due to the strengthening needed to offset the softtop however, the DB11
Volante will be slightly slower than its sibling.
There’s a possibility that
the same AMG-sourced twin-turbo V8 in development for the DB11 coupe will make
its way into the Volante.
