Therefore, the Vanquish Volante was booked into UF’s Brands Hatch Detailing Studio for Gloss Enhancing the paintwork suitably finished by hand with Kamikaze Collection’s flagship ceramic sealant, ‘ENREI’. At the same time, take the opportunity to ensure the fabric roof, the interior and the wheels were taken care of too. Appreciating that, the owner of this 2016 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante was keen to have the gloss restored to the dark paintwork in order to do justice to the colour and finish. It’s guaranteed to let you feel the wind in your hair – and possibly get those hairs raised!Īston Martins are finished and painted by hand in a process that takes more than fifty man-hours. ![]() Control of that power comes through Aston Martin’s Touchtronic III ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, giving the driver eight gears shifting in 130 milliseconds. Having focused on maintaining rigidity through the body, the Volante accelerates and handles like the coupe. The Vanquish Volante is powered by the AM29 V12 engine, delivering 3.8secs (0-60 mph) and peak power of 568 bhp. Of course, it’s what’s under the bonnet that counts just as much. All this and a dash of practicality too: the Vanquish Volante still offers 279 litres of boot space – not bad for a convertible! Much thought has gone into the overall aerodynamics, with a view to improving balance and stability over other convertibles, even with the top down. The redesigned rear aero duct takes two days to make and has been formed from a single carbon fibre piece, improving downforce and contributing to better handling and poise through tight corners. ![]() ![]() It’s the first Volante with a full carbon fibre skin, reducing weight whilst retaining strength and rigidity, and there are some understated visual carbon fibre details contrasting nicely with the paintwork. Described as the ‘ultimate grand tourer’, the Vanquish has been sculpted with smooth, aerodynamically sleek lines, enhanced by the swooping curve of the full height windscreen which rises to meet the lightweight fabric roof. One look at the Vanquish and it’s immediately apparent their statement is accurate. The Vanquish is Aston Martin’s flagship grand tourer and, as they put it, ‘represents the height of design, engineering, technology and craftsmanship’.
