Full Gallery for Aston’s Hot New DBS Volante

Aston’s put out its official gallery for the DBS drop-top, the Volante.  Just to remind some of you who are ignorant, the DBS is Aston Martin’s intense alternative to the DB9.  The Volante loses only 25% of the structural rigidity of the coupe.  That’s thanks to strengthened panels–some of which are made up of carbon fiber for a cut in weight.  The Volante still weighs in at a hefty two tons.  Don’t worry too much about that though: the 6.0 L V-12 remains intact with its 510 hp.  The engine’s linked to a 6-spd. manual-shift or a Touchtronic automatic gearbox for the lazy.  Onboard monitors tame the cabrio’s natural body roll.  Don’t worry about noise either: a thirteen-speaker Bang & Olufsen stereo system is standard.
