As sure as day follows night, Aston Martin has cut the roof off its new DB12 ‘super tourer’. Coming just a few short months after the DB12 coupe – and mere weeks after we drove it in Monaco – the open-top DB12 Volante has the same engine and the same blistering performance as its tin-topped sibling, but with an extra helping of wind-in-your-hair excitement.
Boasting what Aston claims to be a best-in-class roof design, the latest drop-top DB features the same twin-turbocharged, 4.0-litre V8 engine and eight-speed automatic gearbox as its coupe sibling, producing 680 PS (670 horsepower). The 0-60mph sprint is completed in the same 3.6 seconds as the coupe, and the 202 mph top speed is also unchanged.
