5 Ways the 2024 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Volante Redefines Everyday Driving
The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Volante combines three iconic nameplates into one flagship model, delivering an exceptional open-top driving experience. This vehicle transforms everyday driving through its remarkable performance, design, and customisation options. Let's see the five ways the 2024 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Volante elevates the daily commute to new heights.
- Unmatched Performance and Speed
The DBS Superleggera Volante boasts impressive performance capabilities that make every drive exhilarating. At its heart lies a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 engine, producing 715 BHP and 900 Nm of torque. This powerhouse propels the car to a top speed of 211 mph, making it the fastest convertible in Aston Martin's history.
The acceleration is equally impressive, with the car reaching 62 mph in just 3.6 seconds and 100 mph in 6.7 seconds. This exceptional performance translates to responsive power delivery in everyday driving situations, from merging onto highways to navigating winding country roads.
- Exquisite Design and Aerodynamics
Under the guidance of Executive Vice President & Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman, the DBS Superleggera Volante's design seamlessly blends beauty with aerodynamic efficiency. The front splitter and airdam work together to accelerate airflow underneath the car, delivering true downforce and assisting with brake cooling.
A deeper side strake draws more air from the front wheel arch, reducing lift and aiding high-speed stability. At the rear, a double diffuser allows air to exit cleanly, while the Aeroblade II system provides additional downforce. These aerodynamic features not only enhance the car's visual appeal but also contribute to its stability and performance in various driving conditions.
- Enhanced Driving Modes and Acoustics
The DBS Superleggera Volante offers multiple dynamic driving modes to suit different preferences and situations. In GT mode, the engine note is subtle, perfect for relaxed cruising. Selecting Sport or Sport Plus mode intensifies the acoustics, creating a more engaging driving experience.
For those moments when discretion is key, the 'quiet start' feature provides a low-key alternative to the car's typical rousing start-up. The quad exhaust system delivers a pure, harmonic sound that enhances the sensory experience of driving this exceptional vehicle.
- Advanced Convertible Roof System
The defining feature of the Volante is its advanced fabric roof system. Incorporating eight layers of insulation and acoustically enhancing materials, the canopy significantly improves interior comfort when raised. When lowered, it allows the full orchestra of the V12 engine to fill the cabin.
The roof operation takes just 14 seconds to open and 16 seconds to close, and can be activated from inside the car or via remote control within a two-metre radius. Extensively tested in extreme conditions, from Death Valley's heat to the Arctic Circle's cold, the roof mechanism has proven its durability and reliability.
- Customisation and Luxury
The DBS Superleggera Volante offers extensive customisation options, allowing owners to create a truly personal vehicle. The hood is available in eight distinct colours, with six Rokona headliners for interior personalisation. For the first time in an Aston Martin Volante model, the windscreen surround is available with a 2x2 twill carbon fibre finish.
Inside, owners can choose from various leather options, headrest designs, and trim inlays. These customisation options extend to seat back veneers, interior jewellery, and even seatbelt colours, ensuring that each DBS Superleggera Volante reflects its owner's individual style.
The 2024 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Volante redefines everyday driving by combining extraordinary performance with exquisite design, versatile driving modes, advanced convertible technology, and unparalleled customization options. It transforms routine journeys into extraordinary experiences, setting a new standard for luxury convertibles.
