No question, the new DBS Volante is elegant, but the front with large air intakes, additional air ducts for cooling of the brakes as well as sophisticated sideskirts already indicate suggests that the Aston Martin DBS Volante an aerodynamically optimized power package with high performance.
Air vents in the bonnet ensure a more efficient engine and emphasize the athletic appearance. A flat underbody, into the integrated rear spoiler and a rear diffuser, the two exhaust tailpipes of the sports facility is home to reduce the boost and optimize the aerodynamics in addition. The fabric hood keeps the silhouette of the coupe, and nearly disappears at speeds up to 48 km / h electrically by pressing a button in just 14 seconds nearly invisible in the coverage.

Optionally, there is even lighter in the 20-inch 10-spoke design with a silver or graphite-colored finish, the passing and handling by reduced masses continue to improve.

In addition, the driver a dynamic stability control (DSC) in the standard mode is activated. After the DSC button for two seconds pressed, switches the system to "track" mode, so that the control only very late in and the driver continued to limit his herantasten can. Completely switch off the stability control by pressing the button for four seconds. An anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic brake force distribution (EBD), a brake assistant (EBA) and traction control round out the measures.
