Detailed analysis of the Aston Martin DBS Volante Touchtronic II · 517 CV (2010-2012)
General description
The Aston Martin DBS Volante is much more than a car; it is a statement of intent, a work of art on wheels that combines the brutality of a supercar with the timeless elegance of a British grand tourer. Driving with the top down while the glorious 5.9-liter, 517-horsepower V12 engine roars is an experience that transcends mere driving to become an unforgettable memory. It is freedom in its purest and most sophisticated form.
Driving experience
Upon pressing the start button, the V12 awakens with a roar that gives you goosebumps, a promise of the storm about to be unleashed. Every acceleration is a surge of power that pins you to the seat, a linear and addictive thrust that seems endless. The Touchtronic II transmission, while not the fastest, allows you to enjoy the torrent of torque smoothly in automatic mode or with greater control in manual mode. The steering is precise and communicative, and the chassis feels agile and planted on the tarmac, instilling absolute confidence to devour corners while the wind and the engine's symphony compose the perfect soundtrack.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the DBS Volante is simply breathtaking. Its fluid and muscular lines are the quintessence of Aston Martin, a silhouette that exudes power and elegance in equal measure. Every curve, every air intake, every detail is designed not only for aerodynamics but to captivate the eye. It is a moving sculpture, as beautiful with the canvas top up as when it is folded down to reveal an exquisite cabin, lined with the finest leathers and materials, where British craftsmanship is felt in every stitch. It is a car that makes you feel special even before you start it.
Technology and features
The technology of the DBS Volante focuses on the purity of the driving experience. The heart is its majestic naturally aspirated V12 engine, an engineering gem increasingly rare in the modern world. Power is managed through a Touchtronic II automatic gearbox and sent to the rear axle. The chassis features adaptive suspension, which allows for a balance between comfort and sportiness, and imposing carbon-ceramic brakes that ensure stopping power commensurate with its performance. The real technology here is what connects the driver to the road in a visceral and authentic way.
Competition
In the exclusive pantheon of grand touring convertibles, the DBS Volante faced rivals of the caliber of the Ferrari California, with its sportier focus and its Maranello V8. It also competed with the opulent and powerful Bentley Continental GTC, which offered superior luxury and comfort, and with the Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG, a marvel of German engineering with tremendous brute force. Each offered a different interpretation of luxury and high performance, but the Aston Martin always stood out for its incomparable balance of beauty, brutality, and British soul.
Conclusion
The Aston Martin DBS Volante is not a car chosen with the head, but with the heart. It is an emotional machine, a celebration of motoring in its purest and most passionate state. It represents a golden era of naturally aspirated twelve-cylinder engines, offering a sensory experience that modern cars can hardly replicate. It is an instant future classic, a jewel to be driven and admired, the epitome of the 'Power, Beauty and Soul' that defines the brand.
