The Stunning New Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante
If you are looking for that rare combination of a classy automobile with unmatched performance, then the new Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante two-seater sports grand tourer is the car that you are looking for. The Vanquish Volante, first introduced in 2014, is one of its kind, reiterating the statement from this British manufacturer of luxury sports cars and grand tourers. This latest creation by Aston Martin recreates the ‘James Bond Look’ with renewed vigor, proving once again that the company has not lost its touch in terms of style, comfort, and solid automobile expertise.
General Appearance
The gentle, sports car curves give the car the required oomph at first glance. Behind apparently subtle changes in the body design from previous models are some sound aerodynamics, which gives you the smoothest ride ever. The convertible look is enhanced by a full-height windscreen, which is integrated with the roof. Another innovation is the full-body carbon fiber, enhancing the appearance and making the car lighter at the same time. The weight reduction can also be attributed to the extruded aluminum VH chassis, which is another innovation worth mentioning.
Performance
The smooth, slick lines on the outside are matched with what is there under the hood. The previous performance from the Vanquish Coupe is matched in the Vanquish Volante with the same AM29 V12 engine for a powerful output, to say the least. With peak power of 568 bhp at 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds, the Vanquish Volante breaks the speed barrier of all previous models. The power and speed of the car is a result of the new Touchtronic III transmission system, and the company claims to have introduced the world’s first transaxle eight-speed transmission in the Vanquish Volante. The new technology takes the driving experience to a new level.
The insulated triple-layer cloth top takes a flat 14 seconds to deploy or close, making the Vanquish Volante one of the most user-friendly convertibles in the case of sudden weather changes.
Inside the Car
Soft, cushiony leather interiors enclose the interior down to the sill, and the leather finish continues over the dashboard, armrests and the luxurious bucket seats, which imparts a kind of indulgent opulence. Perforations in the leather provide the required ventilation to give some relief to body heat. The console is also quite spectacular in terms of workmanship, with glass buttons provided for selecting the transmission mode. Touch controls adorn the console, with a uniquely mastered speedometer, which adds a fitting finishing touch to the tastefully done up interiors.

Other Details
The new Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante is a versatile passenger car, which performs equally well on mountainous terrain as on level highways. The rear mid-mounted ‘Touchtronic III’ eight-speed automatic gearbox offers rock-solid stability at all speeds. The combination of ceramic ventilated disc brakes and Pirelli tires, provide the ultimate stopping power and added safety to the car.
A Final Word
The general consensus in the automobile world is that this car has surpassed all expectations from Aston Martin, as usual. The company has once again proved its capabilities in combining art with solid engineering design, to produce a car worth its weight in gold in terms of performance as well as good looks and utility.
