Fit for purpose if summer is top of mind, Aston Martin’s splendid Vanquish Volante has blown into town, and is the marque’s fastest, most powerful, open-top series production car to date. How fast? 0-100km/h in just 3.4 seconds. Thanks to the twin-turbo, 5.2-litre V12 engine, majoring in twist as much as brute power, some 1 000Nm of torque are available for velvet acceleration without even trying. Stash the roof (14 seconds), select ‘Sport’ and chase a horizon. No symphony is going to better the aural overture of 12 cylinders at full song in the back country, so, turn off, tune in and savour the drive. Orders currently open.
