Before the car goes into production, Aston Martin decided to carry out final tests in Spain and Great Britain. The car 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.

It is 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. Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 349 km/h (217 mph).

Aston Martin will allow customers to customize their cars according to their wishes, and it is known that each of the 999 cars will cost over 920,000 euros.

The company is increasingly returning to the most famous endurance championship, the FIA ​​World Endurance Championship, and one of them is McLaren. The company intends to develop a car in the next year that would compete with teams such as Ferrari and Aston Martin, who are also returning to the WEC after a break.

McLaren last won the WEC in 1995 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and now they have announced their return to the same place with a new car. “The legendary victory at Le Mans in 1995. The glory of the triple crown. Ready to leave our mark on the world endurance scene once again. Hypercar. World Endurance Championship 2027,” McLaren announced.

The McLaren racing team, which merged with the Forseven company, will enter the LMDh hypercar class, where participants use their own combustion engines, and their option should be a V6 twin-turbo engine with 680 hp. This engine is used in the road and racing versions of the Arthur model.

The British company will become the 11th manufacturer to compete in the WEC. There are currently eight manufacturers split between the LMDh and Le Mans Hypercar classes. Genesis will join them next year, while McLaren and Ford will enter in 2027.

2026 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante Convertible

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.
