Joining the DB11 Coupe, which was launched to wide acclaim last year, Aston Martin’s new DB11 Volante open-top Sports GT sets new standards of performance, innovation, engineering and style. Powered by a new 4.0-litre twin-turbo 510PS V8 engine, it is built around the all-new bonded aluminium structure first seen in the DB11 Coupe. Lighter and more rigid than the model it replaces, the DB11 Volante has been engineered to deliver a much broader envelope of abilities. Greater levels of performance and handling accentuate the more sporting side of its character, while increased refinement, comfort and interior space ensure it remains a consummate grand tourer.

Combining the timeless appeal of a fabric hood with the very latest acoustic and insulation materials, the all-new eight-layer roof cossets occupants from the extremes of weather and wind noise. Folding to a class-leading stack height, the Volante’s hood takes just 14 seconds to lower and 16 to close and can be operated remotely from the key, or on the move at speeds of up to 31mph. The new hood system has also led to a 20 per cent gain in boot volume compared to the outgoing DB9 Volante.
