Aston Martin has revealed its brand new Vanquish Volante – its most powerful and fastest convertible to date. This stunning car is part of the celebration of 60 years since the first Volante – the rare 1965 Short Chassis.
With a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 under the bonnet and a top speed of 214mph, this is, alongside its coupe sibling, the most powerful front-engine production car on sale right now. Its eight-speed ZF gearbox, rear-mounted for ideal weight distribution, works with an E-diff and a new generation ESP system to offer incredible dynamic control.
The exterior of the Vanquish Volante has a muscular appearance. This aesthetic is further enhanced by its K-fold fabric roof, which folds away in just 14 seconds and tucks neatly into the rear of the car. Aston’s design team has ensured it retains structural rigidity, even with the top down, with underbody strengthening increasing lateral stiffness by 75% over its predecessor.
The interior features a driver-focused cockpit with a 10.25” touchscreen and an equally impressive digital driver display. The Bowers & Wilkins 15-speaker surround sound system is there if you ever want a quick break from the V12 roar!
Buyers have significant personalisation options through Q by Aston Martin. From custom luggage sets to embroidered initials, you can certainly make an incredibly rare car completely unique.








“For 60 years, Aston Martin Volantes have defined the art of elegant, sporting, open-top motoring. With its stunning looks and outstanding V12 engine producing more power than any other front-engine production car on sale, Vanquish Volante has taken this philosophy to an entirely new level. At Aston Martin we are proud to be doing such justice to our heritage while, as the unprecedented performance of the Vanquish Volante shows, keeping our eyes firmly focused on the future.”
Adrian Hallmark, Aston Martin Chief Executive Officer
The Vanquish Volante is available to order now, with deliveries starting in Q3 2025.
