The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Volante makes an appearance at the Nürburgring in all its glory ahead of its presentation

Supercars have always been presented as a segment that is highly malleable at the whim of their creators, who manage to extract from them increasingly radical and impressive versions. The Aston Martin DBS is a clear example of this, as it stands as a model that not only marked a before and after in the brand’s history, but was also responsible for reviving the iconic Superleggera name. This nameplate was used by the English marque to refer to its lightest and most radical models, two traits also present in the DBS Superleggera, a model that has been seen in its Volante variant speeding around the Nürburgring.

As has become customary in the Aston Martin model range, there is always a very special place for the Volante, those that feature the ability to deploy their roof and offer a more exhilarating experience. Now, this configuration will be available on the DBS Superleggera, a model that will hit the market very soon, although official dates are still unknown.

The sign of its imminent arrival comes from the test mules that have been spotted at the Nürburgring, which already feature minimal camouflage. In this way, we can make out many of the details that give shape and life to the Superleggera Volante, a model that aims to deliver the same level of performance as its coupé counterpart but with the possibility of enjoying open-air driving.

Aesthetically, we can see the same silhouette that sits on the DBS Superleggera we all know, and which continues to represent the characteristic elegance that the British marque applies to its models. The most considerable difference is, as its name suggests, the possibility of removing the fabric roof and enjoying without restraint the delightful melody that the V12 nestled in the depths of the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is capable of producing.

That’s right, deep within this English supercar hides a powerful twelve-cylinder supercharged engine that delivers a whopping 725 CV and 900 Nm of torque. These figures will also be present in the Volante variant, a model that will keep the mechanical layout intact, as well as its essential sound, which can be heard during the test mule’s intense run around the Green Hell’s circuit.

It is not known for certain when the world debut of the soft-top version of the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera will take place, but given how little bodywork it presents, we can infer it will be sooner rather than later. In this way, the British marque continues to stay true to its convertible models, which remain capable of delivering the same level of performance and sensations.
