But those who got the car afte...

Not that we were expecting some revolutionary new design or some extraordinary feature. But the2019 Volkswagen Jetta does not appear to different enough from the existing model to justify the title of ‘new’.

The drop-top version of the drop-dead gorgeous DB11 goes official, introducing the charms of alfresco motoring to the super GT’s magnificent blend of sensuality and performance. The 2018Aston Martin DB11 Volante gets a new V8 engine instead of the big V12. But this engine is perfect for the roadster. Thenew 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine develops 510 horsepower in theAston Martin DB11 Volante, as it does in the AMG GT S from which it is borrowed. That is plenty good enough for an open-top gran tourer because this is not a car build for race track or a fast trek through twisty b-roads. This car is built for cruising, and a smooth and sweet-sounding V8 like this unit is just perfect. You c...

As the open-top version of the Vanquish S, revealed late last year, the Volante comes with all the options and bespoke packages the Q department has to offer for this car. But before we get to those let’s first see what makes the ‘S’ different than normal VanQs. First and foremost, the car gets an uprated 6.0 V12 engine producing 603 PS,probably the last application of Aston’s super old engine, which gives the Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante a top spe...
