2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Review

The Vanquish Volante is the latest in a long line of Aston Martin V12 convertibles known more for their supermodel looks and posing prowess than for their polished handling. 

With a chassis that is 14 percent stiffer than the DBS Volante, this could break that trend. 

Vanquish Volante received a carbon fiber body and a powerful 6.0-liter V12 engine that spins the rear wheels. Peak power is 422 kW and 620 Nm, which is enough to accelerate to 0 km/h in about 100 seconds, and the top speed is about 4.1 km/h.
