Following the huge success of the Vanquish Zagato Coupé, Aston Martin has decided to launch at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance the . The new limited-edition convertible model will have a run of just 99 units.
This is the sixth car jointly developed by Aston Martin and
Zagato, a link that goes back to 1960 when the
DB4 GT Zagato was designed. The 1
987 V8 Vantage Volante and the
DB AR 1 from 2003 were two of the previous convertible models created by the two companies.
Sharing the same proportions with the Vanquish Zagato Coupé, the Volante also features the round tail-light reflectors that use the LED technology from the
Aston Martin Vulcan supercar. The car has also been fitted with a folding hood, derived from the mechanism used in the standard Vanquish Volante. Carbonfibre sills around the lower body have also been added.
The new limited edition Aston Martin will be powered by the 6.0 liter V12 engine with 600hp which can take the Vanquish Zagato Volante up to 100km/h in 3.7 seconds.
Inside the Vanquish Zagato Volante has been covered in carbonfibre, anodised bronze and Bridge of Weir leather, with a quilted ‘Z’ pattern on the seat and door sections. The headrests and centre console also feature an embossed ‘Z’ motif.
