DBS Superleggera Volante, these three words that mean a lot to Aston Martin as the name of a car, shows how much it means to this established British manufacturer. It is also the second Aston Martin model that uses the name Volante after the launch of the brand's "second Centennial Plan". As the current flagship convertible, the DBS Superleggera Volante can definitely be called a perfect GT sports car. It is completely different from the rigorous German sports car and the passionate Italian sports car, and its old-school mature style deserves the name of its flagship GT sports car.

As a new convertible version, the overall design of the new car is basically the same as that of the previous generation, while the convertible chooses the traditional soft-top convertible design, using insulation and acoustic enhancement materials, so that the whole vehicle has a better sound insulation effect. In addition, the new car also offers eight body colors, including Bordeaux Red, Atlantic Blue and Titan Grey.

In terms of appearance, as the convertible version of Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, DBS Superleggera Volante continues the overall design language of the former. The huge honeycomb front grille on the front face is very eye-catching, coupled with the huge engine, very domineering. At the same time, the deeper side panels will attract more air through the front wheel arch to reduce lift and improve stability at high speeds. In addition, thanks to the Aeroblade II system, the new car has the maximum downforce of 177kg at maximum speed, which is only less 3kg than the sedan version.

In terms of rear styling, as a GT sports car, many details are designed for performance, such as the introduction of a double-decker diffuser that draws inspiration from the F1 car. In other aerodynamic designs, the car's shark Gill vent forms a hidden air channel with the front wheel arch and uses a second-generation "wind blade" design.

In terms of interior decoration, compared with DB11, DBS series should pay more attention to the construction of high-end and luxurious atmosphere. The new car inherits the overall design of DBS Superleggera, adding more carbon fiber decorations in the decoration choice, including the windshield surrounded by 2x2 twill carbon fiber finish; the car is standard with Alcantara fabric with "fragrance" and leather material package; keyless entry, tire pressure monitoring system, 360-degree panoramic camera, parking distance display and parking assistance, while Bang&Olufsen 's Hi-Fi sound system is a special standard for Chinese models.

On the power side, the car is equipped with a 5.2L V12 twin-turbocharged engine, which has a maximum power of 533kW (725PS), a peak torque of 900N ·m, a top speed of 340km / h, a 0-100km/h acceleration of only 3.6s, and a brand new active valve and four-out exhaust system. And in terms of transmission. This power system matches an eight-speed automatic transmission.

This car is a top-notch GT in terms of configuration and appearance, but the high price is beyond consumers' reach. It is understood that the car will be officially unveiled in China on July 19, with a price of 3.768 million yuan, and delivery will begin at the end of 2019.
