The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Volante measures 4715 mm (185.6 inches) in length, 1942 mm (76.5 inches) in width with folded mirrors, and 2145 mm (84.4 inches) with opened mirrors. The height varies between 1285 mm and 1295 mm (50.6 to 51 inches), providing a low, aerodynamic profile typical for high-performance luxury cabrios.
The curb weight of the DBS Superleggera Volante ranges from 1863 kg to 1945 kg (4109 to 4289 lbs). This weight accounts for the robust supercharged V12 engine, premium materials, and the convertible roof mechanism, balancing performance with luxury.
This model offers a luggage capacity of 270 liters (9.5 cubic feet), which is quite practical for a high-performance roadster. This capacity is suitable for small suitcases or daily essentials, acknowledging that convertible designs generally prioritize style and performance over maximum cargo space.
The ride height of the DBS Superleggera Volante is only 90 mm (3.5 inches), reflecting its sports car characteristics. This low ground clearance helps improve aerodynamic efficiency and handling but requires cautious driving over speed bumps or uneven roads.
The car comes equipped with large 21-inch rims, fitted with 265/35 R21 tires on the front and 305/30 R21 tires on the rear. These oversized tires contribute to superior road grip and stability, critical for the high-powered convertible sports car's sporty driving dynamics.
Standard residential garages typically have a width of about 2.4 to 2.7 meters (7.9 to 8.9 feet) and a height around 2.1 to 2.4 meters (6.9 to 7.9 feet). With a width of 1942 mm (76.5 inches) including folded mirrors and a height around 1285-1295 mm (50.6-51 inches), the DBS Superleggera Volante comfortably fits within these dimensions, though care must be taken when the mirrors are opened, as the width expands to 2145 mm (84.4 inches).
Compared to its predecessor, the DBS Superleggera Volante is slightly longer and wider, measuring 4715 mm in length versus the older DBS Volante's approximate length of 4720 mm, and a marginal width increase. The newer model features design enhancements for aerodynamics and aggressive styling, with improvements in curb weight and structural rigidity enabled by modern materials, although the overall size footprint remains similar to maintain its grand tourer identity.
When compared with other luxury convertible grand tourers like the Bentley Continental GT Convertible or Ferrari Portofino, the DBS Superleggera Volante is competitive in length and width. For instance, the Bentley Continental GT Convertible measures around 4855 mm in length and about 1940 mm in width, making the DBS slightly shorter but similarly wide. The DBS stands out for its lower height and aggressive styling while maintaining a balanced size for handling and comfort.
The DBS Superleggera Volante features a convertible (cabriolet) body style with a power-operated soft top that complements the car’s sporty yet luxurious character. It is powered by a 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 engine delivering exceptional performance. This generation emphasizes a lightweight construction through extensive use of carbon fiber, enhancing agility and speed. Its dynamic aerodynamics and a performance-adapted chassis offer superb handling, making it a compelling option for enthusiasts seeking both open-top driving pleasure and brutal power.
Inside, the DBS Superleggera Volante maintains a two-seat layout with high-quality materials such as hand-stitched leather, Alcantara, and carbon fiber trims. Despite being a performance-focused convertible, the cabin provides an intimate and luxurious environment with advanced infotainment, climate control, and sound insulation designed to reduce wind noise when cruising. The balance between sporty driver engagement and grand touring comfort is a key trait.
