Aston Martin DBS Volante

The need for high performance stability, handling ability and low kerb weight defined the DBS's form and construction. The DBS Volante is powered by a 6.0-litre V12 engine, producing 380kW peak power at 6500 rpm and 570Nm of torque at 5750 rpm. Tractable at any time, the DBS possesses a 'flat' torque curve providing 85% of the torque from 1500 rpm. The 3.71:1 (manual) and 3.46:1 (Touchtronic) final drive ratio assures that all the DBS Volante's power is useable, while also enhancing in gear acceleration.

The DBS Volante is available as standard with a rear mounted 6-speed manual gearbox with gear ratios optimised to extract the very best from the 6.0-litre engine. Providing customers with even greater personalisation capabilities, a 'Touchtronic' 6- speed automatic featuring a torque converter is also available as an option. Standard safety equipment includes ABS, EBD, EBA and traction control.
