JAKARTA - Aston Martin recently revealed the latest car to the public that carries the world's first "super tourer" concept, namely DB12 at The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering on Monterey Car Week.
This latest model from Aston Martin comes in the Volante variant which takes a very beautiful design from its coupe brothers, but with an open roof that can provide an unlimited sensation.
The metal roof has remained replaced by a complicated cloth roof, with eight isolation layers to maintain silence in the cabin during the long journey usually carried out by Grand Tourer (GT) cars.
From the company's release, August 14, it is known that this roof can be folded within 14 seconds when the car is traveling at speeds of up to 50 km/hour, and it takes 16 seconds to get back up. Interestingly, this roof can also be controlled from outside the car using a key, as long as the owner is within two meters of the car. This roof can even be operated when the car faces strong winds of up to 50 km/hour.
The Volante DB12 will be sold on a standard black roof, but customers can also order a red, blue, or black/silver roof with a wide selection of exterior colors and other interiors. What's more, customers can order a special touch from Q by Aston Martin department in charge of making cars that are well adapted according to the wishes of the duit buyers.
Like its coupe, this 2+2 convertible car relies on a 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8 engine capable of generating 671 dk of power and 800 Nm of torque. This car only takes 3.7 seconds to reach a speed of 100 km/h from a stationary state, so it is only one tenth of a second slower than its standard copy version. With a peak speed of 325 km/hour, this car still provides extraordinary performance.
The force is directed at wheels through an automatic transmission of eight accelerations located at the back, which cooperates with electronic limited back differentials and a prop SHAft of carbon fibers.
The braking is regulated by a 400mm front disk and a 360mm rear disk that is installed as standard. However, Aston Martin also offers a choice of an optional carbon ceramic brake kit that reduces weight to 27 kilograms. Volante's DB12 is also equipped with 21-inch wheels reinforced with customized Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires.
Just like the couple, DB12 Volante has a new infotainment system from Aston Martin with a touch screen of 10.25 inches that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity without cables. This multimedia system is equipped with conventional controls for frequently used functions, including heating and ventilation. Audio lovers can upgrade the standard 11-peaker sound system with a 390 watt power to a Bowers & Wilkins 15-peaker setup with a power of 1.170 watts.
