There are few pleasures in life that rival dropping the top on a grand touring convertible and heading out onto the open roads of Los Angeles. The Pacific Coast Highway stretches north, Mulholland Drive curves along the Santa Monica Mountains, and Sunset Boulevard winds through some of the most iconic terrain in the world. All of these roads deserve an extraordinary car, and the Aston Martin DB12 Volante is exactly that.
At Galpin Aston Martin, we believe the DB12 Volante represents the pinnacle of open-air motoring. This is not merely a sports car with its roof removed. It is a purpose-built convertible grand tourer, engineered from the ground up to be the world’s first super tourer and to deliver an exceptional experience in both open-air and enclosed driving. Featuring hand-stitched interior trim, a precision-engineered hood mechanism, and the thunderous voice of a twin-turbocharged engine, the DB12 Volante transforms every drive through Southern California into something unforgettable.
Performance Built for Southern California Roads
The Aston Martin DB12 Volante is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 680 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. The result is a car that accelerates from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 3.5 seconds, and does so with the kind of effortless composure that only a hand-crafted British grand tourer can deliver.
For Los Angeles drivers, this kind of performance is particularly meaningful. Whether you are navigating the tight switchbacks of Malibu Canyon, stretching out on the 101 toward Ventura, or making a statement along Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, the DB12 Volante responds with precision and poise. The adaptive suspension system continuously reads the road surface beneath you, allowing the car to transition seamlessly from comfortable boulevard cruising to spirited canyon driving. The eight-speed automatic transmission shifts with authority and smoothness in equal measure, ensuring that every acceleration is both immediate and refined.
What truly separates the DB12 Volante from other performance convertibles is the quality of the experience. The engine note, amplified with the roof down, fills the cockpit with a sound that is visceral without ever becoming obnoxious. Los Angeles summers, with their warm evenings, golden light, and cooling coastal breezes, are made for exactly this kind of open-air driving.
A Convertible Designed for the Senses
Aston Martin did not simply engineer the DB12 Volante to go fast. They engineered it to be savored. The fabric roof lowers in just 14 seconds and can be operated at speeds of up to 31 miles per hour, so there is never an excuse to leave the top raised on a beautiful Southern California day. Inside, the cabin is finished with hand-stitched leather throughout, and every surface has been crafted with the kind of attention to detail that makes even a short drive feel like an occasion.
The Touchscreen infotainment system is intuitive and responsive, integrating seamlessly with your Smartphone for navigation, media, and communication. The audio system delivers concert-quality sound regardless of whether the roof is up or down, adjusting its output dynamically to compensate for ambient noise levels. Dual-zone climate control keeps both driver and passenger comfortable as temperatures fluctuate between the canyons and the coast.
Customization is central to the Aston Martin experience. Through the Q by Aston Martin personalization program, clients can specify virtually every detail of their vehicle, from exterior paint colors drawn from an expansive exterior paint palette to bespoke interior materials, contrasting stitching, and personalized badging. No two examples of the DB12 Volante need ever look or feel the same.
