To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Volante convertible series, Aston Martin has unveiled two special edition convertibles: the DB12 Volante 60th Anniversary Edition and the Vanquish Volante 60th Anniversary Edition. Both commemorative models are crafted by Aston Martin’s bespoke Q division, limited to just 60 units each, with deliveries scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Exterior Design
The anniversary editions feature a Q-exclusive Pentland Green paint finish paired with a Westminster Green soft top. The “Q by Aston Martin” bespoke badge on the front fenders emphasizes their exclusivity. Anodized bronze-gold accents adorn the front grille, fender trim, and 21-inch satin bronze-gold Q-designed wheels, contrasted by black Aston Martin brake calipers for a striking visual impact. Both models are equipped with a lightweight K-folding roof system, which opens in just 14 seconds and closes in 16 seconds, operable at speeds of up to 50 km/h.
Interior Design
Inside, the cabins are finished in a distinctive three-tone palette combining classic saddle brown, ivory, and woven leather, creating a luxurious and unique atmosphere. Dark walnut wood trim is applied to the center console, door panels, and seat back panels, while bronze-gold materials highlight the electronic gear shifter and control knobs. The headrests feature exclusive 60th anniversary embroidery.
Performance
The DB12 Volante 60th Anniversary Edition is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 680 hp and 800 Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 325 km/h.
The Vanquish Volante 60th Anniversary Edition, meanwhile, is fitted with a 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine generating 835 hp and 1000 Nm of torque, also mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. It sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 344 km/h.
