Alongside its coupe counterpart, the Vanquish Volante is the most powerful front-engine production car available today, blending extraordinary performance with an elegant yet purposeful design.
Powered by Aston Martin’s new 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 engine, the Vanquish Volante delivers an impressive 835PS and 1000Nm of torque, achieving a top speed of 214mph.
This remarkable performance mirrors the Vanquish Coupe but with the added thrill of an open-air driving experience. Its combination of luxury, performance, and cutting-edge technology places it at the pinnacle of ultra-luxury high-performance cars.
The Vanquish Volante is a fitting tribute to the 60th anniversary of the Volante name, with a rich history that dates back to the 1965 Short Chassis Volante, one of the rarest Aston Martins ever produced.
“For 60 years, Aston Martin Volantes has defined the art of elegant, open-top motoring. With its stunning design and more power than any other front-engine production car on sale, the Vanquish Volante takes this philosophy to a new level.” - Adrian Hallmark, Aston Martin’s CEO
Aston Martin’s new V12 engine provides exceptional performance, generating maximum torque at just 2500rpm, with the peak torque maintained from 2500-5000rpm. This significant power increase has only resulted in a modest 95kg weight gain, raising the car’s power-to-weight ratio to 416hp per tonne.
The Vanquish Volante features an eight-speed ZF gearbox and an E-differential, optimising weight distribution and offering exceptional handling, agility, and stability.
The car’s dynamic capabilities are enhanced by a sophisticated ESP system, providing superior control during low-speed cornering and high-speed lane changes.
The Vanquish Volante retains the beautiful, flowing design of its coupe sibling, with a K-fold roof that opens in just 14 seconds and can be operated while driving up to 31mph (50km/h). The lightweight roof system offers impressive thermal insulation and can be stowed under the tonneau cover without interrupting the car’s sleek lines.
“The Vanquish Volante epitomises Aston Martin’s core brand DNA. It delivers breathtaking beauty, performance, and presence, all while maintaining the elegance of the original design. It is the ultimate expression of our flagship model.” - Marek Reichman, Aston Martin’s Chief Creative Officer
Inside, the Vanquish Volante combines modern technology with traditional craftsmanship, featuring a 10.25” digital driver display and an integrated touchscreen system for intuitive control.
The car also comes with a premium Bowers & Wilkins sound system, delivering an extraordinary listening experience. The interior can be fully customised through Aston Martin’s Q service, allowing customers to create a truly unique car with bespoke options.
Vanquish Volante’s rear cabin is designed with luxury in mind, featuring dedicated space for custom leather luggage sets. With extensive exterior and interior design choices, customers can tailor the car to their preferences, ensuring each Vanquish Volante is a one-of-a-kind creation.
The new Vanquish Volante is available to order now in limited numbers, with first deliveries expected in Q3 2025. This remarkable vehicle will continue Aston Martin’s legacy of creating truly exceptional cars.
All will be Vanquished.
