Elegance, luxury, power, speed. These are all words that we associate with Aston Martin and over the years the English brand has truly embodied them in everything that they do. Each and every aspect of their finely crafted automobiles exudes premiere build quality and no expense is spared with the materials used and the level of detail that’s applied. The prestige and history of the brand lays out the foundations for every one of their new designs and even to this day they hark back to some of their most recognisable classic cars, which is most prevalent with the signature grill that each car is adorned with.
One of their latest models, the Vanquish Volante represents everything that the brand stands for, and as such it stands alone as one of the best and most recognisable cars in their current line up. It’s the first Vanquish to ever go roofless but it retains all of the rigidity, performance and character of its hard-topped brother. With the wind in your hair and thrill of open-top driving though, the Vanquish Volante is even more exciting, proving to be an unbeatable prospect for those in the market for a sports GT.
Aston Martin absorbed a few punches from critics over the last few years for refusing to drastically alter the design of their cars. With the new Vanquish however, all that changed and with its swooping lines, majestic angles and aggressive demeanour, it marked a huge step forward for the company from Gaydon. Far from just a pretty face though, the car is the first to be made from a complete carbon-fibre shell, making it lighter and quicker than many of its competitors. It’s powered by the same growling V12 engine as the hardtop and with 565bhp, it propels itself from 0-60mph in just 4.1 seconds, making it insanely quick as well as incredibly beautiful.
The Aston Martin Vanquish Volante starts at £199,995 and is available from Stratstone Aston Martin London on Park Lane. Stratstone is Europe’s largest network of Aston Martin dealerships, and with locations all across England, an array of finance packages and an unrivalled quality of service, becoming an Aston Martin owner has never been easier. Aston Martin’s current lineup of vehicles is their strongest ever, and Stratstone are right at the heart of that, offering brand new and used cars spanning the entire range.
