2018 Aston Martin DB11 Volante spied in Sweden

The 2018 Aston Martin DB11 Volante has been spied during cold weather testing on the snowy roads of Sweden.


Despite being previewed in September by the "lightly-disguised engineering car" that appears to be the same vehicle in the images, the drop-top supercar isn't scheduled for release until the European spring in 2018.

Spotted alongside a handful of other blacked-out Aston Martins - including a DB11 coupe, a Vantage GT12 and a partially-disguised DB11 prototype (possibly the next-gen Vantage) - the DB11 Volante looks pretty close to production guise.

Little differentiates the Volante from the coupe - with the obvious exception of the folding fabric roof - along with the fake body panels on the rear third-quarter which suggests the drop-top will have a unique rear to accommodate the folding roof mechanism.

Under the bonnet is almost certain to be the same 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 found in the coupe, which pumps out a meaty 447kW of power and 700Nm of torque.

A report by Autocar earlier this year claimed that Aston is also trying to match the coupe's 3.9-second 0-100km/h sprint time, despite the extra weight and reduced rigidity that comes with being a convertible.

The DB11 Volante's suspension setup is expected to be slightly softer than the coupe's as well, focusing on comfort as opposed to all-out performance.

With the drop-top DB11 scheduled for release in spring 2018 for Europe (March 2018), expect the first Australian deliveries to arrive in the second half of 2018.
