Luxury and Performance Combined
The 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante boasts more than just a mesmerising shell; it presents an amalgamation of technical advancements inherited from its left-hand-drive counterpart but with an added twist – convertible fun. Exuding allure that rivals most within its automotive pedigree, functionality isn’t compromised as this V12 beast demonstrates dramatic acceleration capabilities akin to its predecessor models. The thrusting power reaching up to 183mph emanates from a potent AM11 6.0-liter engine underlining remarkable performance credentials.
Innovation Wrapped in Carbon Fibre
History is made as this model emerges first fully carbon fibre-skinned machine in astonishing one hundred years since Aston Martin’s inception. It promises enhanced structural rigidity while posing no hindrance to aesthetic pleasure with a triple-skin lightweight fabric roof folding neatly within fourteen seconds.
Finesse Redefined through Design Language
Drawing inspiration from supercar One-77's visual language, the design elements navigate through elongated side strakes, eye-catching waist and LED rear light blades complemented by aerodynamically calibrated tonneau and decklid flanked beneath a folding fabric roof. In addition, for impressionable uniformity and smooth transition between surfaces, full height windscreen comes integrated granting seamless unity with the fabric roofline above.
A Gem Inside Out: Craftsmanship Meets Practicality
Underneath the elegant carbon fibre exterior, a sumptuous cabin awaits decked in authentic full grain Luxmil leather complementing Quantanium metal controls and satin chrome trim. Yet, practical convenience isn't neglected with extended boot space half more than its predecessor DBS Volante supporting grand tours across continents or everyday commutes.
Incorporating Advances for an Enriched Experience
The handiwork of innovation extends further with a direct One-77 descendent centre stack epitomising user-friendliness through ergonomic design, glass gear selection buttons along with ECU engine start button. Furthermore, infotainment system upgrades combined with capacitive glass buttons reinforce Aston Martin's technological prowess promising enhanced driving experience to enthusiasts.
Aesthetics Coincide Power under Carbon Fiber Bonnet
An enthralling AM11 6.0-litre V12 petrol engine propels rear wheels via Touchtronic 2 six-speed automatic gearbox rendering this visually appealing machine into a power-packed super GT performer keeping in line with Vanquish Coupe’s billing.
Precise Dynamics imbibes Agile Handling
To ensure rewarding handling capabilities complementing aesthetic appeal; coherent weight distribution strategy combines powerful engine mechanisms promoting agile handling dynamism while maintaining control over weight management. New spring and damper settings provide crisp yet compliant ride matching those from coupe models.
Superior Architectural Framework
This model is built upon Gen4 VH architecture derived from aerospace technologies enhancing rigidity by fourteen percent compared to prior DBS Volante offering smooth suspension controlling capability contributing immensely to car performance dynamics. Fundamentally designed considering Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) along with Positive Torque Control (PTC), it also incorporates Adaptive Damping System allowing drivers to switch between Normal, Sport and Track modes adapting the configuration based on driving mood.
Efficiency Focused Braking System
The 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante comes with third-generation Brembo Carbon Ceramic Matrix brakes delivering shorter stoppage distances thereby upholding handling performance under varying conditions while remaining lightweight. This advanced braking system with six-piston calipers from One-77 at front and four-piston calipers at rear further elevate the overall suspension operation enhancing vehicle agility.
