Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante 2018 - High-priced convertible

The 2018 Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante is expected to go on sale in the second quarter of this year with a starting price of $312,950.

The Aston Martin Vanquish S 2018 was first introduced in mid-November last year. Now, Aston Martin continues to add a convertible version to this luxury car line with the full name of Vanquish S Volante 2018.

Like the coupe, the 2018 Vanquish S Volante will be one of the last Aston Martin models to be equipped with the familiar 5.9-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine. Meanwhile, future Aston Martin models will use engines manufactured by Mercedes-AMG under an agreement between the two companies.

Under the hood of the 2018 Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante is a 6.0-liter V12 engine that produces a maximum capacity of 600 horsepower in the version for the UK and European markets. Compared to the regular Aston Martin Vanquish Volante, this convertible is about 20 horsepower more powerful.

Meanwhile, the 2018 Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante for other markets around the world has a similar engine but only has a maximum capacity of 580 horsepower. The engine is accompanied by an 8-speed Touchtronic II automatic transmission.

In addition, the Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante 2018 is also equipped with 4 exhaust pipes and an improved intake manifold. All of this is to provide the car with more powerful performance. According to Aston Martin, the 600 horsepower engine allows the Vanquish S Volante 2018 to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 323 km/h.

The body of this “luxury” convertible is made from aluminum and carbon fiber. Thanks to that, the car weighs only 1,739 kg and has a weight distribution ratio of 51% front/49% rear.

The 2018 Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante has a new carbon fiber front spoiler and rear diffuser. These two details help the car operate more stably at high speeds.

In addition, there is a set of glossy black alloy wheels with a 10-spoke design and a standard diameter of 20 inches. When buying the car, customers can choose from 4 different types of 20-inch wheels.

Similar to the front spoiler and rear diffuser, carbon fiber side steps are also standard equipment on the 2018 Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante. In addition, Aston Martin also has other optional carbon fiber accessories such as exterior mirror covers and side air vents.

Inside the car is a set of sports seats covered with high-quality Alcantara material. The Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante 2018 is expected to go on sale in the second quarter of this year with a starting price of 312,950 USD. Compared to the coupe version with a starting price of 294,950 USD, the Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante 2018 is significantly more expensive.
