Aston Martin's Vanquish drops its top

The Aston Martin DBS Volante has stepped down as the British marque's most powerful convertible to make way for this, the 6-litre V12-powered Vanquish Volante.

Performance figures from that mighty V12 match those of the Volante's coupe cousin, nailing the 0-62mph sprint in just 4.1 seconds and going on to hit a top speed of 183mph.
