The 2013 Aston Martin DB9 Volante helped to add more shine to the British brand with the open-top version of the DB9 Coupe.
Since its launch, the DB9 was available in both versions of the Coupe and the Volante, where the Volante was the name for convertible vehicles in the Aston Martin terminology.
The vehicle had a low profile, flat and long hood and a raked reinforced windshield that was needed to pass the roll-over tests. For the 2013 model, the DB9 received a bigger grille, new LED daytime running lights, and a light bar on the fenders, on top of the side vents. The headlights were bi-xenon fitted as standard. In the rear, the taillights received a white and clear glass on the lower side. The diffuser was enhanced as well, to accomplish the styling of the open-top Gran tourer.
Inside, there were four seats available even though most probably only the front seats might be used properly. The center console featured aluminum and piano-black surfaces. The infotainment screen was retractable under a lid flush to the upper part of the console.
Under the hood, there was a new AM11 V12 engine that featured a revised block and new head, including dual variable valve timing. A new adaptive suspension was fitted for better cornering speed. Last, but not least, the carbo-ceramic brakes were added to the list.
