This 2010 Aston Martin DBS Volante 6-speed is one of the reportedly 26 examples produced for the U.S and 44 in total for the world, representing just 5% of total DBS Volante production. Starting in 1965, Aston Martin gave the name of “Volante” to all of its drop-top sports cars and continues the tradition to today. Spec’d with the optional Orient Blue Metallic with a stunning Chestnut Brown leather interior, the eye-catching option that is paired to the 6.0L V12 naturally aspirated engine – Aston Martin’s 6-speed manual transmission, now revered among enthusiasts and collectors alike for the DBS Volante. Standard features included carbon ceramic brakes, adaptive suspension, 20” alloy wheels, a 13-speaker Bang & Olufsen stereo, carbon fiber body panels, and more. With a complimenting navy blue electronically-operated soft top, blue deviated stitching, Alcantara flourishes and optional piano black trim, this Aston Martin is what one might call “a dream specification.”

The DBS’s first caretaker, based in New York, purchased the Aston Martin from Aston Martin Long Island of New York on May 27th, 2010. He would keep the car in his care for the majority of its life and added most of the miles, by July of 2021 the car had accumulated just 19,238 miles in 11 years. During this time he regularly took his car to receive safety inspections, and visited Aston Martin Long Island several times for service according to service records.

In late 2021 the Aston Martin arrived at Canepa for the 1st time, and unsurprisingly sold in just less than a week upon arrival with 19,248 miles, no doubt in part to its spectacular specification. The 2nd owner kept the car for just over 4 years, adding just 1,035 miles in that time by driving it on select occasions. Upon its return, the car was put through the “Canepa Difference” process that it had done prior, subjecting the car to a comprehensive mechanical evaluation and cosmetic inspection. Both returning excellent reports due to the few miles driven since it had left, the DBS Volante was a prime example of a taken care of example of the Aston Martin brand. With just 20,315 original miles over the course of 16 years, this 2010 Aston Martin DBS Volante is ready to be enjoyed with the top up, or with endless headroom with the top down, hearing every one of the 12 cylinders fire as its driver shifts through the effortless 6-speed manual transmission.

About the 2010 Aston Martin DBS Volante

The 2010 Aston Martin DBS Volante is the high-performance convertible variant of the flagship DBS coupe. Introduced to combine open-air grand touring with track-ready capability, it retains the sleek styling and aggressive stance of its hardtop sibling while relying on advanced engineering to minimize the weight gain typical of convertibles.

At the heart of the rear-wheel-drive DBS Volante is a powerful 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine that delivers a thrilling driving experience and an unmistakable exhaust note. It produces 510 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 420 lb-ft of torque at 5,750 rpm. Buyers could choose between a now-revered classic six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed “Touchtronic 2” automatic with paddle shifters. This potent powertrain propels the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds, reaching a top speed of 191 mph.

Aston Martin engineered the DBS Volante to maintain the rigidity and athleticism of the coupe by utilizing advanced materials to keep the vehicle balanced and responsive. Extensive use of carbon fiber for the hood, trunk, and front fenders helps offset the structural weight of the convertible mechanism, keeping the curb weight around 4,000 pounds. The motorized fabric soft top can be raised or lowered in just 14 seconds at speeds of up to 30 mph. For precise handling and stopping power, it features standard high-performance carbon-ceramic matrix brakes to reduce unsprung weight, as well as an adaptive damping system with driver-adjustable modes that allows it to transition seamlessly from a comfortable highway cruiser to a stiff, track-focused sports car.

Despite its raw performance capabilities, the DBS Volante remains a luxurious grand tourer with a beautifully appointed, hand-crafted interior. The cabin features lavish use of premium leather, Alcantara, carbon fiber, and polished aluminum trim throughout. It comes equipped with a standard 1,000-watt, 13-speaker Bang & Olufsen BeoSound premium audio system.
