PH has Aston Martin Villquish in the current time. There is a complete ruling in the UK, but we hope that it is not a big surprise to discover that it is great; The praise of the V12 last year was more justified. Aston’s 12Cilindri is now available as a soft Volant, 25 years from the first V12 Volante (DB7 Vantage) and 60 years from the first Aston Martin to use this title (short structure, which is 37 very rare units that were mixed in DB5 and 6.)
Looking at how to receive the coupe, and how the db12 is transformed, there is a reason to enjoy the University of Volanti. The new ceiling mechanism – the K -Fold system, can decrease, instead of the Vantage Roadster Z -Fold – in 14 seconds and rise again in 16, up to 31 miles per hour. Not fast like V8, then, but definitely fast enough should be the strike. The boot capacity is 219 liters with the ceiling up, and 187 with it, compared to 248 for the Coupe. Like preference, the height of the stack of the cloth ceiling is relatively low (260 mm), which means that there is no interruption of “smoothly flowing lines for the body”. Thermal insulation is said to be the upper stairs, and the exhaust has been restarted to the maximum v12 whatever of the composition. T -itium system, 10 kg and promises “final satirical experience”, is optional.
Volante 106 kg weighs more than Coupe Vanquish (1,774 kg versus 1,880 kg dry). Although this is more than the old soft dbs (dry 1863 kg), it means less earning compared to the solid surface (previously, Superleggerra was stacked on 170 kg in the transition). Aston is 75 percent in the side hardness “on a previous leading pioneer”, thanks to some additional reinforcement under it, which is encouraging since the old DBS was actually very smart. This calculates the conformity closely with the coupe in terms of structural hardness, with a revision preparation for the Bilstein DTX camps (due to weight stubbornness) about the most important change that has been revealed.
As with standard Vanquish, there are GT, Sport and Sport Plus Leadership Leadership, as well as an individual option. Aston believes that GT has been “formed to breathe with the road, providing that long -legged character that is one of the distinctive features of Grand Tourars, with the most aggressive settings there to stir response and theater.
The V12 is definitely a capacity of 5.2 liters, it should provide a lot of the latter, here again with a monster of 835 hp and 738 pounds for 214 mph. These numbers mean that Aston can demand a stronger and fastest stronger engine in the world, as 12cilindri can only crowd 830 hp and 211 miles per hour. The Vanquish reaches 62 miles per hour in 3.4 seconds, or just slower than the coupe, although it will definitely be from there Vilquish begins to feel very quickly.
The same technology and equipment that made the pioneering V12 already stand out to Volante. It is logical, of course, both were developed together. These features include a detailed compound of Pirelli Pzero (in both summer and winter models), variable traction control and E-DIFF support, which can be imprisoned in 135 mm, as well as standard ceramic brakes that are said to be lighter 27 kg of equivalent iron rounds. The press statement reads exactly how you hope to get a V12 from these bills, indicating that the new difference is capable of “providing more agility in low and medium turns while providing greater control of high and medium -seat conditions”, which seem excellent. “The desire to provide Vanquish Volante at the same levels of superior driving dynamics, as well as refining the required passengers from a leading trip, with an easy ability to install the advanced structure system that was seen in all Aston Martins series.”
The two -seat interior is largely implemented to Volante, which perhaps for the first time in the history of V12 Volate (may probably prohibit early DB9S, when this cabin looks cold) is the news that is welcomed. The 10.25 -inch screen pair looks good, as do rich materials and physical switches, here another one joined the ceiling. The Sports Plus seat is standard, with carbon chairs in the list of additions, and the prominent & Wilkins sound system has been set in particular for convertible installation.
Everything looks great yet, mainly as it is transferred from the Coupe Vanquish. This is without mentioning the best thing: What looks Volante. Very coherent and arrest is the design that looks like a convertible coupe, instead of the opposite. Those who are keen on the Kamm Tail drama of Vanquish will love this. In fact, Marik Richman, chief creative official, calls it less than “The Crown Jewel” in the Aston line.
Although the accurate launch date has not been announced, the first requests of Vanquish Volante cannot be very far as the summer is on the horizon. Expect the Ferrari equivalent price, as the coupe does, so in the 360,000 pounds area before any options. After an important step of 250,000 pounds from DBS, then, but this Volante is a big step in the experiment as well. “For 60 years, Aston Martin Volants has identified an elegant, sporty, and open art. With its amazing appearance and a distinctive V12 engine that results in a new power more than any car with another front motor offered for sale, Varequish Volante has taken this philosophy to a completely new level. Volante appears, while keeping our eyes focusing on a strong focus on the future. “
