Aston Martin has pulled the wraps off a new convertible version of the DB12 to rival the Ferrari Roma Spider -
flagship. A new, much larger grille and front apron give a more menacing look than the DB11, along with new headlights and reprofiled side sills. Of course, the main differentiator to the coupe is a folding fabric roof – taking 14sec to retract and 16sec to close, the roof contains eight layers of insulation and can operate at speeds of up to 31mph.
We were impressed by the DB11 Volante's dynamic ability at launch, and the DB12 has every chance of building on this with key changes to its structure and suspension for a more direct, cohesive feel. Revisions to its bonded aluminium chassis, including new rear suspension mounting points and stiffer front axle attachments, have enabled the use of a solidly-mounted steering column for improved response, with a 3.
The DB12’s new adaptive dampers have 500 per cent more bandwidth than those fitted to the DB11, with the Volante gaining a bespoke damping calibration and different rear springs to compensate for changes to its body stiffness and the added weight of its chassis bracing. Aston quotes a 1796kg dry weight for the DB12 Volante, which compares to 1685kg for the coupe.
