After the Vanquish
Zagato Coupe debuted at the Concorso d’Eleganza at Villa d’Este
in May, Aston Martin has
stunned showgoers at the 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance with the
Volante convertible version.
Reportedly driven by "overwhelming" customer
interest for the hardtop, the Volante will be limited to just 99 cars, with a
price believed to be upwards of £500,000. It's the latest creation from a
six-decade partnership between the British sports car maker and the Italian
coachbuilding company.
The Vanquish Zagato Volante uses the same V12 as the hardtop,
with 592bhp and a projected 0-62mph time of 3.7 seconds. The styling is
radically altered over the standard Vanquish, with a
gaping grille, striking LED running lights and a shapely rear end.
You lose the shapely roof profile of the coupe, but you gain
twin cowls on the rear deck, plus the same cloth folding roof mechanism as the
Vanquish Volante. Aston Martin's specialist 'Q' division can personalise the
cabin to your heart's content, too, with options like anodized bronze detailing
and Bridge of Weir leather. Customer deliveries for the Zagato Volante
will begin in 2017.
