About this car
The 2016 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante pairs the striking BMW Carbon Black exterior with a Bentley Saddle interior, delivering a convertible grand tourer powered by a 5.9L V12 engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. With just 9,228 miles, this example showcases special-order colors and carbon fiber trim that accentuate its sculpted lines, including carbon fiber side skirts, front spoiler, and rear diffuser alongside a bright finish grille and exhaust tips.
Performance credentials include 568 horsepower from the V12, enabling 0-60 mph acceleration in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 201 mph. The Touchtronic III ZF 8-speed automatic features steering wheel shift paddles, while the adaptive sport-tuned suspension and 20-inch 10-spoke silver wheels wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero tires ensure precise handling on the open road.
Inside, the quilted Bentley Saddle leather seats with Flint seatbelts and parcel shelf quilting create an opulent cabin, complemented by a veneered center stack, ventilated front seats, and a black leather One-77 steering wheel. Additional highlights encompass 2+2 seating, Bang & Olufsen BeoSound audio with a boot-mounted 6-CD autochanger, satellite navigation, and a rearview camera for confident maneuvering.

The second-generation Aston Martin Vanquish was unveiled in 2012 as the successor to the DBS and entered production at Gaydon, England. Designed under Marek Reichman, it used Aston Martin’s bonded-aluminum VH architecture with carbon-fiber body panels and styling influenced by the One-77. Its 5.9-liter naturally aspirated V12 initially produced 565 hp and drove the rear wheels through a rear-mounted six-speed automatic transmission. A 2015 update introduced an eight-speed Touchtronic III transmission, increased output to 568 hp and reduced the claimed 0-to-60-mph time to 3.6 seconds. The convertible Vanquish Volante joined the range for the 2014 model year.
Aston Martin introduced the Vanquish S for 2017 with 580 hp, revised intake manifolds, a quad-outlet exhaust, updated suspension settings and redesigned aerodynamic components. Production concluded in 2018 with the limited Vanquish S Ultimate before the DBS Superleggera replaced the model. Aston Martin states that more than 4,200 second-generation Vanquish coupés and Volantes were produced. The company does not provide a more precise total or a complete body-style breakdown in its published historical account, so “more than 4,200” is the most accurate factory-supported figure.
