阿斯顿马丁在日内瓦车展发布了Vanquish S Volante敞篷车。该车造型时尚，车身线条性感，大量采用了碳纤维材质，侧面最抢眼的是双色20英寸合金轮圈。虽然新款DB11搭载了涡轮增压引擎，但这款车搭载的是6.0升V12自然进气引擎，功率比非S版增加了27马力。除了功率增加，车厂还对进气系统进行了强化以便能产生更凌厉的油门反应。由于内部采用了更大进气歧管，进一步增加了进气量，因此引擎转速至红区的动力输出更平顺，更线性。该车还对八速自动变速器进行了改进，提供了更快的换挡，同时操控更平顺以提升舒适性。车厂还对悬挂进行了改进使车辆行驶性能更突出运动特性。如果卖家愿意掏更多的钱，还可以让车厂安装更多碳纤维空力套装。车厂目前已经开始接受这款敞篷车其硬顶版的预订，该车在美国起价294950美元（约合人民币203.8万元），在英国起价199950英镑（约合人民币167.95万元），德国售价262950欧元（约合人民币192.21万元）。

 

Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante beautifies Geneva Motor Show

Aston Martin should have given the Vanquish S Volante the following motto: “600 horsepower never looked this good.” The gorgeous droptop is gracing the Geneva floor with its sensual lines and generous use of carbon fiber while sitting on a set of stylish two-tone alloy wheels measuring 20 inches on all four corners.

 

While the new DB11 has embraced turbocharging, the Vanquish in this hotter “S” specification still uses a “pure” engine taking the shape of a naturally aspirated V12 6.0-liter delivering an extra 27 horsepower over the non-S model. Aside from boosting output, Aston Martin’s engineers have also fiddled with the intake system to enable what is being described as a “sensational throttle response.” Power delivery is smooth and linear all the way up to the redline thanks to the bigger inlet manifolds increasing the volume of airflow.

 

The new “S” model also welcomes a revised eight-speed transmission providing quicker shifts when you’re pushing the car to its limits and at the same time a smoother operation to enhance comfort while driving at cruising speed. Aston Martin has also tweaked the suspension to make the Vanquish S Volante sportier.

 

Buyers willing to dig deeper into their pockets can ask the folks from Gaydon to throw in more carbon fiber bits to complement the car’s new aerodynamic package.

 

Aston Martin is already taking orders for the Vanquish S Volante and its fixed roof counterpart. Pricing kicks off at $294,950 in the U.S., ￡199,950 in U.K., and from €262,950 in Germany.
