Unveiling the Sky: 2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Volante
When it comes to luxury and performance, only a few names command as much respect as Aston Martin. Following in its lead of perfection is their newest release – the 2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Volante. The company's fastest convertible model yet, the Volante takes everything we loved about its coupe sibling but adds that open-top grandeur.
Riding with Boldness
Astonishingly fierce on paper; even more so in real life. This flagship Super GT machine introduces itself bearing three iconic nameplates - "DBS", "Superleggera", and now "Volante". What lies beneath the hood boasts nothing less than a seamless integration of raw power, high-end technology and exquisite design aesthetics seen earlier gracing its stablemate.
Intricate Power
The heartthrobs at an intense rhythm of 715BHP @6,500 rpm powered by a massively potent twin-turbo V12 engine courtesy manufacturer’s own technical wizardry. With aggressive acceleration figures clocking at just above magical sub-four seconds for 0-62 mph (or breakneck speed to reach triple digits remarkably within seven seconds), this topless beauty offers no qualms maintaining ferocious pace all way up to staggering top speeds over two hundred miles per hour (211mph).
As one explores various driving modes, each step-up brings noticeably elevated noise levels harnessing additional adrenaline rush despite sporting fabric roof overhead (which when retracted truly immerses you into a symphony played via quad exhaust system); perfectly aligning with our expectations from a Super GT.
Sharper Aerodynamics
If you thought removing the roof could compromise its aerodynamic efficiency, then you’re in for a surprise. The Volante employs similar front splitter and air dam seen on its sibling, which combined with intelligently designed deeper side strake effortlessly channelizes airflow to counter lift forces while aiding high-speed stability. Astonishingly, it generates an impressive 177kg of downforce at top speed (a marginal three kilogram less than coupe) truly reflecting the level of engineering prowess underneath.
Celebrating Freedom
Aston Martin never leaves room for chance when it comes to delivering utmost perfection for potential customers; evident through exclusive customization options available right from unique body paint finishes extending all way up to intricately crafted interiors featuring stunningly beautiful carbon fibre trim pieces replacing conventional leather covering coupled along scores of finely woven fabric choices that tastefully drape the new ‘Volante’ badge adorning this marvel from British marque. However, there is no denying that owning such exquisite piece of automotive brilliance requires deep pockets- currently priced starting at $329,100 specific to American market availability slated around third quarter of 2019.
The Concluding Verdict
In conclusion – or rather as we near so - only one question remains: does DBS Superleggera Volante justify every bit stated above? Well, judging by figures alone won’t suffice because they don't tell how relentless sensory overload overshadow any skepticism associated; neither do these words vividly portray real-world driving experience nestled behind wheel on open roads pounding massive torque onto tarmac under clear blues sky! Yet if recent past offerings carry any indication about future expectations rest assured those fortunate enough would certainly not disagree upon claiming this latest offering stands testament towards being synonymous with traditions ingrained throughout centuries-old lineage befitting iconic Aston Martin ‘Volante’ nameplate.
