Aston Martin DB12 Volante V8 Volante 2dr Auto Review
Category: Convertible
Section: Version review
Some rivals are more practical, but the Aston Martin DB12 Volante is great to drive and feels special inside, so it’s well worth considering if you’re shopping at this rarified end of the new car market.
The trim
See full equipmentThe list of standard kit includes heated leather seats, two-zone climate control, keyless entry and start, adaptive cruise control, a DAB radio, wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto. We’d be tempted to tick the option box for the 15-speaker, 1,170W Bowers & Wilkins stereo upgrade.
The engine
See full engine specsThe only engine option is a twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8. It produces 671bhp, allowing you to get up to the motorway limit briskly using only its mid-range grunt. The car absolutely flies when you rev it hard, but you'll probably see fuel consumption drop into the teens.
