The 2020 715 HP DBS Superleggera Volante is the Fastest Soft-Top Aston Martin Ever - One Take

The 2020 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Volante (which means convertible in Aston) may suffer a couple hundred pounds and two tenths of a second on the way to sixty, compared to its fixed-roof counterpart. But that certainly doesn't make it slow. In fact, with a top speed of 211 MPH with the top down, it's the fastest convertible Aston Martin ever, and really nails the traditional grand touring formula.
Aston Martin provided the vehicle, insurance and a tank of fuel for this review.

    It is not that heavy, just around 150kg heavier than a 911 992 for the Coupé (dry weights). And superleggera is also a construction method....but still, I think they should have just called it dbs volante. Dbs superleggera volante is such a silly long name, and I don't like the superleggera badging....

    The newest DBS SuperLeggera is in my opinion the most beautiful new car you can buy today. I think it’s gorgeous and after seeing a few in person, it somehow looks even better in person. My only gripe with it is the old fashioned torque converter automatic. I know that the car is supposed to be more of a grand tourer than a strict track weapon, but I think they should have gone with a DCT. But at the same time, what do I know. I drive a Miata so my opinions don’t really matter

    Great video, I love the sound of the engine/exhaust. By the way, Camera rattle sound did not come thru. I'm sure if I hooked up my phone to my stereo speakers I would hear it, but nothing that creates a problem for the viewer. I've noticed that most of the time when a KZreadr apologises for noise, I only notice it due to them having pointed it out. By the way your new Car Park is simply out of this world! I've kept up with the build, and its impressive on so many levels!

    The front windows one touch up/down probably still use european Ford window controller. That will require "calibration" by hand every now and then like once or twice in a year. I don't know why it does that, but it has been in Fords quite some while. Most cars only require that when the battery is removed.

    For a turbo, it sounds sweet but it's a hefty bit of kit and a more robust transmission really wouldn't have gone amiss. It kinda sucks that all that torque can't be fully realised until after 3rd gear. Still, this has to be the Aston to go for.. It's almost as good as the coupé, performance wise and it's unbeaten for looks as a convertible. Looks 10/10 Sounds 7.9/10 Performance 7.8/10
