Description

2012 Aston Martin Virage Volante — hand-built V12 grand touring convertible with timeless British elegance.This 2012 Aston Martin Virage Volante delivers the perfect balance between performance and luxury, powered by a naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12 — one of the most iconic engines Aston Martin has ever produced. From the factory, it produces approximately 490 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque, offering smooth, linear power delivery and an unmistakable V12 exhaust note.Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 6-speed Touchtronic II automatic transmission, a refined unit that can be driven in full automatic mode or manually controlled via steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The drivetrain is engineered for grand touring, providing effortless acceleration and strong passing power while maintaining a composed, comfortable ride.The Virage sits on a lightweight bonded aluminum VH (Vertical/Horizontal) platform, contributing to improved rigidity and balanced weight distribution. It features an advanced adaptive damping suspension system (ADS), which continuously adjusts to road conditions and driver input, offering both comfort and performance when needed.Braking is handled by carbon ceramic brakes, providing exceptional stopping power and reduced fade under spirited driving — a feature typically reserved for high-performance exotic vehicles.As a Volante model, it features a fully automatic power convertible soft top, allowing for open-air driving at the push of a button while maintaining the car's elegant profile when closed.The Virage was produced for a short period between the DB9 and DBS, making it a more exclusive and less common model in Aston Martin's lineup. It was designed to offer a refined middle ground — combining the comfort of the DB9 with elements of the performance found in the DBS.This example is mechanically sound and drives as it should, with some wear consistent with age and use. It remains a strong representation of a hand-built British grand tourer.Naturally aspirated V12. Rear-wheel drive performance.Luxury, exclusivity, and timeless design.
