Aston Martin premiered the DBS Volante at the Geneva Motor Show.
The luxury marquee is a favourite in the Middle Eastern market and, completing the DBS line-up, the new Volante will afford customers the combination of the DBS's already-established benchmark sports car characteristics with all the thrills of open-air motoring.
This juxtaposition of ultimate performance and openness stirs the senses on any drive whether an exhilarating jaunt on favoured roads or cruising on lengthy journeys.
Featuring a motorised retractable fabric roof, the DBS's beautiful profile is preserved whether up or down.
When the roof is closed, it provides a warm comfortable ambience and when open, it neatly disappears behind the new tonneau cover at the touch of a button.
Aston Martin's CEO, Dr Ulrich Bez said: "The DBS Volante delivers the utmost relaxed driving experience with the hood up or down. It combines engineering excellence with design perfection.
"The DBS Volante offers a subtle mix of power and performance. Adding to this, the fine craftsmanship - it is an unparalleled ownership and driving experience."
Power is provided by Aston Martin's hand-built all alloy 6.0-litre V12 engine producing 510 bhp (380 kw/ 517 PS), and 570 nm (420 lb ft) of torque with a top speed of 191 mph (307 km/h) and 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time of 4.3 seconds.
The nature of the V12, and in particular the torque available at all engine speeds, serves to provide effortless driving in all situations.
