2026 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante Convertible

Leave a comment

The Aston Martin Vanquish Volante Convertible is a new car from the British manufacturer that has officially arrived on the market. It is the world’s most powerful front-engine convertible, and deliveries are expected in Q3 2025.

Aston Martin has equipped the Vanquish Volante with a roof with a K-fold mechanism, which can be opened in 14 seconds and closed in 16 seconds. Removing the fixed roof has reduced rigidity, so engineers have added chassis reinforcements, which make the Volante 75 percent stiffer laterally compared to the previous DBS Volante. The suspension features Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers to make the ride comfortable.

The cabin is equipped with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch infotainment system screen, which uses Aston Martin software. Music lovers will enjoy the standard Bowers & Wilkins sound system with 15 speakers, and for those who want more, Aston Martin’s Q division offers numerous interior customization options.

The Vanquish Volante is powered by a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 engine with 824 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque, enough to propel the 1,930kg car from 0-100km/h in just 3.4 seconds. It is 95 kg heavier than the Coupe, which is also reflected in the acceleration of +0.1 seconds.

When it comes to price, Aston Martin has not yet announced how much the Vanquish Volante Cabriolet will cost. However, it is expected to be slightly more expensive than the coupe, which costs £334,000.

2026 Aston Martin Valhalla

It’s been five years since Aston Martin revealed the prototype of its new two-seater super sports car, the Valhalla, and now the production version is finally here. It’s a limited edition car that will be built in 999 units.

The car was created in cooperation with the Red Bull Formula 1 team, and the active aerodynamics of the carbon body, with which it is possible to change the level of grip in turns, will be very useful on the track. It is equipped with carbon-ceramic brakes, active suspension that is part of the IVC (Integrated Vehicle Dynamics Control) system, and 20 and 21-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. The cockpit features racing carbon seats and an F1-style multifunction steering wheel, as well as many carbon details.

When it comes to the powertrain, it was initially said that the car would be powered by a hybrid option with a V6 engine, but that is not going to happen. It will be powered by a 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine supported by three electric motors with a total output of 1,078 hp (793 kW), of which more than 820 hp comes from the V8 engine. It accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 349 km/h (217 mph).

Production of the Aston Martin Valhalla will start in Q2 2025, and the company has not yet released a price.
