PROS: Equipped with a powerful V12 engine and advanced driving technology, the Virage Volante handles well providing drivers with comfortable cruising. The car enjoys good resale values and Aston Martin’s excellent reliability record.
CONS: The car has very poor fuel economy, requiring regular refills that will burn a hole in any owner’s pocket. The boot has very little space and the rear seats are cramped. The car comes with a limited safety kit.
The V12 engine gives the car a massive power boost of 490 bhp at 6500 rpm with torque figures at 420 lb-ft at 5750 rpm. The car has very poor mileage at 18.8 mpg but is highest in the Aston Martin’s V12 engine range. With a top speed of 186 mph, going from 0-62 mph in 4.6 seconds, the sports car does not disappoint.
The steering wheel and the pedals give occasional odd shudders, but the car handles smoothly on every road. The six speed gearbox in full automatic mode becomes very lazy. However, the Sports button on the dashboard revs the V12 engine which makes gear changes much faster. Even with some wind and road noise on rough surfaces, the car’s mighty engine hums quietly.
The Virage Volante has a gorgeous exterior indicative of the Aston Martin brand. Its cabin is beautifully crafted with comfortable leather, woods and alloys. The car’s technology includes stability control, electric front windows, electric door mirrors, climate control, powered seat adjustment, satellite-navigation, cruise control, rear parking sensors, a CD system, Bluetooth, and MP3 connectivity. The car also comes fitted with an alarm and an immobiliser to deter theft.
The Virage Volante comes with optional features like an auto dimming rear view mirror and tracking device.
Even though the car is a four seater, only the front seats have ample room for average sized adults while the rear seats are cramped. The car comes fitted with driver, passenger and front side air bags, but even with the safety features and many anti-theft measures, the Virage Volante lacks passive protection measures like curtain airbags.
With a three year warranty with unlimited miles, car owners benefit from Aston Martin’s excellent quality and reliability record.
The car has poor green credentials, but it is one of the best in the Aston Martin line with a EURO 5 emissions rating, and a carbon footprint of 349 g/km.
The Virage Volante is priced at £159,995. A gas guzzler and a handmade car, it is not made for those who worry about running costs. It is a worthy investment for drivers who want to enjoy a high end car with style, quality, performance and reliability. The Aston Martin brand enjoys good dealer services and V12 cars have high resale values.
With a high performance engine, and high quality body work, the dealer services and gas prices for maintaining the sports car are high. It is a worthy investment for sports car lovers with fat pockets who can enjoy the novelty of handmade cars, their gorgeous looks and the punchy performance of the V12 engine. Be it comfortable travel around town or the thrill of speed on a long highway, the Virage Volante delivers the sports car experience with excellent style, quality, performance and reliability, similar to other sports cars in the Aston Martin line like the Vantage and the DBS. In addition to style and performance, Aston Martin custom building services can add a personal touch through additional technology or body work to already impressive machines so customers can achieve the best driving experience according to their terms.
If you are looking for a sports car that delivers performance, smooth handling and safety in a stylish sporty package, then the Aston Martin Virage Volante could be the car for you. With beautifull...
