Aston Martin marks a major milestone in its storied history with the launch of the Volante 60th Anniversary Editions — a tribute to six decades of open-top motoring, elegance, and engineering brilliance.
A Legacy That Took Flight
The name Volante, derived from the Italian word for “flying,” first appeared in 1965. Since then, it has become synonymous with Aston Martin’s most elegant and exhilarating open-top models — from the DB6 Volante to the Vanquish Zagato Volante.
For 60 years, Volante has embodied the thrill of the drive, the freedom of the open road, and the unmistakable style of British motoring. Now, that legacy is honoured with two exclusive models: the Vanquish Volante and the DB12 Volante 60th Anniversary Editions.
Crafted by Q: The Art of the Possible
Commissioned through Q by Aston Martin, these editions are the ultimate expression of bespoke luxury. Each model is limited to just 60 examples, making them as rare as they are refined. Every detail has been carefully curated by Q’s master artisans to reflect Aston Martin’s heritage and forward-thinking design:
Exterior: Finished in Q Pentland Green with a Q Westminster Green hood, accented by anodised bronze grille vanes, bronze side strakes, and 21” Satin Bronze DT wheels.
Interior: A showcase of craftsmanship, featuring dark walnut open-pore veneers, bespoke tri-tone colour schemes, anodised bronze knurled controls, and embroidered “60” headrests.
Signature Touches: Q treadplates, bespoke seat patterning, and etched Aston Martin wordmarks complete the experience.
These aren’t just cars — they’re rolling works of art, designed for those who demand individuality and timeless sophistication.
Two Icons, One Celebration
The Vanquish Volante represents the raw power and presence of Aston Martin’s V12 heritage, while the DB12 Volante introduces the world’s first super tourer — a new benchmark in performance and luxury.
Together, they form a powerful tribute to the Volante nameplate, blending tradition with innovation in a way only Aston Martin can.
