    From Carversation.com:

    "Aston’s put out its official gallery for the DBS drop-top, the Volante. Just to remind some of you who are ignorant, the DBS is Aston Martin’s intense alternative to the DB9. The Volante loses only 25% of the structural rigidity of the coupe. That’s thanks to strengthened panels–some of which are made up of carbon fiber for a cut in weight. The Volante still weighs in at hefty two tons. Don’t worry too much about that though: the 6.0 L V-12 remains intact with its 510 hp. The engine’s linked to a 6-spd. manual-shift or a Touchtronic automatic gearbox for the lazy. Onboard monitors tame the cabrio’s natural body roll. Don’t worry about noise either: a thirteen-speaker Bang & Olufsen stereo system is standard"

    Everything was going well until they selected that horrible red leather, leather should be either cream or black and no in-between.

    I think the interior is amazing!

    Something like that needs an interior that is a bit special...

    Black would do it no justice, it was the red leather that caught my eye. that and the sweet sound system that comes as standard!

    "The Volante loses only 25% of the structural rigidity of the coupe" - surely that's a lot, no?

    Can't agree with that at all - it should match or contrast with the colour of the car. I'd love to see that car in black with cinnamon leather.

    I usually hate convertibles but DAMN!

    That it what a car should look like.

    I like the finer detail put into the interior. But otherwise the interior is the same as most modern cars.. or am I missing something major?

    You'd be looking to pay in the region of £170k+++ for one of those, you could only buy in the UK, and that VRT would be a killer :D

    Its just a stunning combination, the red leather, the stitching, the piano black trim, the chrome dials.

    I could go on and on and on :)

    To view what color this car or any car for that matter looks it best in check out the brochure or web site. Car companies spend millions on marketing and design in order to get their products noticed. Check out the official web site and see if you agree http://www.astonmartin.com/eng/thecars/dbsvolante/control
