Aston Martin DB11 Volante


The DB11 Volante is the open-top form of Aston Martin's current grand touring cruiser. Other than the soft top, it should come as no surprise that the DB11 Volante is mostly similar to its coupe counterpart. Powering the DB11 Volante is a AMG-sourced 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 503 horsepower and 513 lb-ft of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic. It launches from 0 to 62 mph in 4.1 seconds and can reach a top speed of 187 mph. Aston Martin opted not to offer the DB11 Volante with the 5.2-liter V12 available in the coupe and AMR variants because the former is 243 pounds heavier. Aston Martin also wants to ensure that the Volante's infrastructure remains unscathed and secure at high speeds. Like most convertibles, the DB11 Volante's backseats are small and shouldn't be used to regularly transport people. Pricing for the DB11 Volante starts at around $256,000. The Volante is not my preferred DB11 model, but it is a beautiful, elegant, and amazing car nonetheless.
