The new Aston Martin DB12 also like the open Volante

No surprises

The recently launched Aston Martin DB12, actually a facelifted DB11, will of course also be available as an open Volante with a fabric roof. The car is already passing in disguised form.

Sometimes it’s more fun to look ‘through the hood’ to see what a not-yet-revealed car will look like. This time in front of the spy photographer’s lens: the Aston Martin DB12 Volante, a convertible version of the recently launched Aston Martin DB12. The car is broadly similar to its DB11 predecessor, but gets a different front, different side skirts and a new interior and loses its V12 option. But if the change from DB12 to DB12 Volante also shows the difference from the change from DB11 to DB11 Volante? It doesn’t look like that. Still: the fact that there will be an open variant again is worth watching.

From the side, the height of the open Aston Martin DB12 is now the same as that of the DB11, and so we suspect that the construction of the roof and the mechanics of opening and closing are the same – as is the rest of the base. car design. It should be clear that the DB12 Volante, like the DB11, will have a fabric roof, which in the case of the DB11 can be folded in 14 seconds at a speed of up to 50 km / h.

Whether the reversible conversion of the DB12 is actually 1-to-1 equivalent to that of the DB11 remains to be seen. We learn that at the unveiling of the Aston Martin DB12 Volante. In the case of the DB11 Volante, it happened a year after the reveal of the closed version, so if that is also the case, you know how long you have to wait.

From this angle, the DB12 Volante is likely to closely resemble its predecessor shown here.
