When it comes to luxury cars, there are few better names than Aston Martin. Within the Aston Martin range, the DBS stands tall at the top end of its range, but now Aston has improved it with the addition of a folding roof for those convertible lovers. Now you can drive your new Aston Martin DBS and make sure that everyone can see that it’s you, which is after all the point of owning an Aston.

The new Aston Martin DBS Volante debuts at the Geneva Motor Show and is powered by a 510bhp 6 litre V12 engine, the same as the regular Aston Martin DBS. With the roof down you can expect to reach speeds of up to 191mph, which is more than enough to feel the wind in your hair. Off the line it’ll reach 62mph in a mind blowing 4.3 seconds.

Ulrich Bez, the CEO at Aston Martin, said of the new Aston Martin DBS Volante:

“The DBS Volante delivers the utmost relaxed driving experience with the hood up or down. It combines engineering excellence with design perfection.

“The DBS Volante offers a subtle mix of power and performance. Adding to this, the fine craftsmanship – it is an unparalleled ownership and driving experience.”
