Aston Martin DBS V12 Volante Touchtronic 2 auto 2011

Open top Grand Tourer with an exemplary service history.

This majestic and imposing Aston Martin DBS Volante combines raw power and beautiful aesthetics.

Supplied in September 2011 by Harwoods Ltd, Aston Martin Chichester, the second, and most recent keeper has owned the car since 2012.

Each year, it has returned to a main dealer for its annual service and MOT test; the first 2 services with Grange of Exeter, and 10 further services carried out by Aston Martin of Cheltenham. Further benefiting from 7 additional years of Aston Martin extended warranty.

Acknowledging the appearance of the DBS in James Bond’s ‘Quantum of Solace’ film, this dark grey paint finish was designated as Quantum Silver metallic.

Teamed with a black hood and tonneau cover, diamond cut 20-inch lightweight alloy wheels, and a full black leather interior, it has an elegant and timeless appeal.

Further equipment includes:

• Carbon Ceramic Matrix brakes.
• Dynamic Stability Control and Adaptive Damping System.
• HID projector headlights and LED rear lamps.
• Front and rear parking sensors.
• Heated, electrically adjustable front seats featuring signature twin-stitching and embroidered DBS logo.
• Piano black fascia trim with carbon fibre for the door pulls.
• 2+2 seating.
• Glass switchgear for main controls.
• Cruise control.

• Navigation system, Bluetooth telephone preparation and iPod integration.

Built using Aston Martin’s VH (vertical/horizontal) platform, which combines bonded aluminium, magnesium alloy and carbon fibre, for lightweight, ultra-strong construction.

Every drive is an occasion to be savoured; push the key start, and the glorious 6.0 litre, naturally aspirated V12 fires into life with a satisfying growl. Select ‘D’ and head off into the sunset. The Touchtronic 2 6 speed ZF auto ‘box is perfect for cruising to the French Riviera, or just to the shops and back. Alternatively, you can take full advantage of the 510 hp and 570 Nm of torque by using the steering wheel shift paddles; this Aston Martin devours B-roads, it feels agile and very quick, and the soundtrack is simply fabulous.

0-62 mph is dispatched in just 4.3 seconds, and this convertible will keep accelerating all the way to 183 mph.

With 2 keys (one crystal) and valet key, manual/service book and warranty.
