2017 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante

The Aston Martin Vanquish Volante convertible got some minor exterior and interior updates in 2015, as well as a new automatic transmission. Power also improves slightly and fuel economy also slightly drops. Looking pretty much the same as every Aston Martin since the DB9, the "new" AM 310 Vanquish is based on the VH platform, one that is stiffer by 25%. It comes as no surprise that Aston's new flagship is powered by their famed 6.0-litre V12 with power transferred via a "Touchtronic 3" 8-speed automatic. The carbon-fibre body Vanquish borrows many styling cues from their hypercar, the One-77, the stretched waist lines and the LED rear lights are examples of such. Do note the interesting "Aero Duct" featured at the rear end. The hand-built Aston is manufactured at their global headquarters at Gaydon in Warwickshire and can be ordered as a 2+2 seater or strict 2-seater. What makes the Vanquish more practical than ever is the much larger boot space compared to that of the DBS.
