2026 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante Unveiled Globally with 823bhp Twin-Turbo V12

Aston Martin has unveiled the 2026 Vanquish Volante, a luxury convertible based on the recently launched coupe. The Vanquish nameplate returned in September 2024 after its 2018 discontinuation. The Volante debuts on the model's 60th anniversary, boosting its appeal. It features a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12, delivering powerful performance and setting new standards for luxury convertibles. With production capped at fewer than 1,000 units annually for both the coupe and Volante, Aston Martin aims to keep the Vanquish exclusive, making it a rare and sought-after car.

Aston Martin Chief Executive Officer, Adrian Hallmark said: 'For 60 years, Aston Martin Volantes have defined the art of elegant, sporting, open-top motoring. With its stunning looks and outstanding V12 engine producing more power than any other front-engine production car on sale, the Vanquish Volante has taken this philosophy to an entirely new level.
