Is The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Volante The Fastest Convertible In British History?
Unsurprisingly, the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Volante is almost identical in design to the coupé version—except for its open top. Its 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission promising prime performances, including 0-100km/h acceleration in just 3.6s.

The 2+2 cabriolet has a fabric roof with a retraction mechanism that was put through its paces over more than 100,000 test cycles. The roof takes 14s to open and 16s to close. Aston Martin has also announced a variety of customization options for this model, with deliveries slated to start from Q3 2019.
