Aston Martin has unleashed its most savage convertible yet.
The 2026 Vanquish Volante arrives with Aston’s most potent production powertrain ever strapped to a chassis that’s been built to handle it.
Twelve Cylinders of Fury
Beneath that sculpted carbon fiber hood lurks a 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 producing 824 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque.
Those aren’t typo numbers. That’s genuine supercar territory.
The V12 delivers peak torque from 2,500-5,000 rpm, creating a midrange punch that will rearrange your internal organs while the 8-speed automatic handles shifting duties.
Performance figures read like fantasy: 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds and a terminal velocity of 214 mph. Top-down. Hair on fire.
The electronically controlled rear differential can transition from fully open to fully locked in just 135 milliseconds. Engineering that makes you faster, not marketing that makes you yawn.
Carbon Fiber Everything
Aston’s engineers added just 95 kg over the coupe variant – impressive restraint for a convertible conversion.
The Volante’s body blends carbon fiber construction with aggressive aerodynamics derived from Aston’s racing heritage. Those hood vents aren’t decorative – they’re F1-inspired heat extractors that actually work.
Design cues trace back to the 1963 DP215 racer and the track-only Vulcan. This isn’t retro styling – it’s evolutionary DNA.
Exclusive By Design
Inside, dual 10.3-inch displays handle driver information and infotainment duties.
The 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system has been specifically tuned for open-top acoustics – though the V12’s soundtrack remains the superior choice.
Production numbers ensure you won’t see yourself coming the other way:
- Limited to fewer than 1,000 units annually (including coupe)
- Each car hand-built at Aston’s Gaydon headquarters
- Starting price exceeds the coupe’s $429,000 base
Flagship Performance, Flagship Price
The Vanquish Volante represents the pinnacle of Aston Martin’s performance convertible lineup.
It delivers supercar performance metrics without sacrificing the grand touring comfort that defines the brand.
The car’s power-to-weight ratio of 416 hp per tonne ensures it delivers on its visual promises.
Drop the top, plant the throttle, and remember why internal combustion deserves a proper sendoff. The Vanquish Volante isn’t just Aston’s fastest convertible – it’s their most complete open-top performer yet.
