It is not a good time to open the roof.

The Aston Martin Vantage Volante The car is about to open its roof but the top remains closed in these spy photos that capture it driving on foggy days. The doors and hood announce that the production version will arrive in spring 2020.

The Vantage Volante doesn’t have camouflage. Except for the revised rear deck and fabric roof, the styling is almost identical to that of the coupe. The transparent panel between the seats acts as wind deflectors when the top is opened The cabin should look identical to the hardtop model, with this small change.

Aston claims that the Vantage Volante is powered by a Mercedes-AMG-sourced twin-turbo V8 of 4.0-liter capacity. It produces 503 horsepower (375 Kilowatts) as well as 505 pound-feet (685 Newton meters) of torque through an eight-speed auto. The coupe will be 3,373 pounds (1,530 kilogram) heavier due to roof stiffening and body stiffening. This will likely increase the time it takes to travel 60 miles per hour (96 km/h) by a few seconds more than the hardtop’s 3.5 seconds.

Aston is yet to announce whether it will offer an AMR variant of the Volante. The coupe version would receive a seven-speed manual and a dog-leg gear in the first gear. Thanks to carbon-ceramic brakes and adaptive dampers for Sport, Sport + and Track modes, the hardtop weighs in at 209 pounds (95 kg).

Do not expect a V12-powered Vantage Volante. Marek Reichman, Chief Creative Officer, previously stated that he believed the larger mill would be “too expensive” for the car.

The Vantage Volante should sell at a premium to the $149,995 coupe. To keep them separated in the lineup, however, it should be a lot lower than the $216 495 DB11 Volante.
