Brussels Auto Show 2010 Special: Aston Martin DBS Volante
January 20th, 2010
The definitive luxury sports car offers more than performance, beauty and comfort. It offers dynamic and aesthetic purity, an exquisite interior and a driving experience unsurpassed by any other car, both in its coupe and volante forms. With its race-car roots, technologies and luxury appointments, the Aston Martin DBS is just such a car. A 6.0-litre V12 powered thoroughbred shaped by the aerodynamic demands of high performance, the Aston Martin DBS marries beautifully hand-finished materials with the very latest in performance technology.
Its hand-build V12 engine produces 380 Kw (510 bhp/517 ps), making it one of the most potent production cars Aston Martin has ever made. The DBS Volante is the culmination of the DBS range, offering a rare mix of potent performance and the feeling of freedom associated with a convertible.
Exacting standards and a relentless focus on structural rigidity mean that the DBS Volante deliver supreme control and a truly exhilarating yet refined drive, whether on a an open highway or a mountain pass.
