Meet the all-new Aston Martin DB12 Volante!
Mat’s got his hands on this new drop-top GT, and he’s about to see how this car has evolved compared to the DB11 Volante, while also seeing if it can compare with class leaders like the Roma Spider!
For starters, let’s check out the exterior design, and it’s no surprise that it looks absolutely fantastic! The rear end may be relatively similar to the DB11, but that’s no bad thing! It’s slightly wider than the previous edition, and the new tail light design looks absolutely great. Along the side, the car comes with 21-inch alloys, and it also comes with pop-out door handles, aggressive side skirts and frameless side mirrors.
Along the front, the car has had a total design overhaul. The clamshell bonnet is gone, and it’s instead made of several different panels. There are loads of vents, matrix LED headlights, and the trademark huge grille at the front.
Step inside and the interior’s had a total overhaul. There’s an all-new infotainment system, and redesigned centre console with loads of physical buttons and rollers, and naturally the interior is covered in swathes of leather and aluminium panels. The seats are also super comfortable, but don’t expect adults to fit into the rear seats!
Under the bonnet, you’ll find an AMG 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can produce 680hp and 800Nm of torque. This power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and Aston Martin claims it can hit 60mph in 3.6 seconds.
The all-new DB12 Volante starts from £205,000, but is it worth it? Stick with Mat to see for yourself!
