“Pleasure, Passion, Power”
Aston Martin DBS Volante.
Some cars are fast. Some cars are beautiful. And then, there’s the Aston Martin DBS Volante—a car that effortlessly blends both into a package of pure, open-air exhilaration. This is not just another convertible grand tourer; it’s a statement of refined aggression, handcrafted luxury, and pulse-raising performance, all wrapped in an unmistakably British silhouette.
Born from Bond and Built to Thrill
The DBS name is no stranger to cinematic fame. The original Aston Martin DBS first appeared in 1969’s On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, piloted by George Lazenby’s James Bond. Fast forward to 2006, and the name was revived for Daniel Craig’s debut in Casino Royale—this time as the modern DBS, a harder-edged, high-performance evolution of the DB9.
The DBS Volante, introduced in 2009, was Aston Martin’s answer to the age-old question: How do you make something already stunning even more desirable? The answer? Take the already breathtaking DBS Coupe, remove the roof, and let the naturally aspirated 6.0-litre V12 sing in all its glory.
A Limited Production Masterpiece
With just 845 units ever built, the DBS Volante remains one of the rarest open-top Aston Martins ever produced. It’s a perfect balance of grand touring luxury and raw performance, offering the best of both worlds—the sophistication of a grand tourer and the firepower of a supercar.
The Morning Frost White DBS Volante we have at Ferris Cars is a true collector’s gem. Finished in a sleek Obsidian Black Leather Interior with White Stitching, it oozes understated elegance with a hint of menace. The
Piano Black Fascia Trim and Sport Seats with the iconic DBS logo add to the exclusive feel, while the 20″ Sport Diamond Silver Wheels perfectly complement the car’s presence.
Under the bonnet lies a 510 bhp 6.0-litre naturally aspirated V12, sending its power to the rear wheels via a Touchtronic 2 automatic transmission, ensuring effortless yet electrifying acceleration. Hit the open road, drop the triple-layer fabric roof, and let the V12 roar through the canyons, coastlines, or city streets—this is grand touring at its finest.
The Technology of Speed and Control
Speed is nothing without control, and Aston Martin ensured that the DBS Volante delivered a thrilling yet composed driving experience:
- Carbon Ceramic Brakes – Originally developed for Formula 1, these brakes provide race-bred stopping power while being significantly lighter than conventional steel brakes. They’re also fade-resistant, meaning consistent performance, whether on the track or a spirited mountain pass.
- Bang & Olufsen Sound System – The DBS Volante’s V12 might be the best soundtrack, but for those rare moments when you want something different, the Bang & Olufsen premium audio system delivers concert-hall-level sound quality.
- Adaptive Suspension & Dynamic Stability Control – Whether you want a comfortable GT cruiser or a sharpened weapon for the twisties, the DBS Volante adapts to the road with precision and poise.
- Handcrafted Luxury Meets Performance – Every DBS Volante is handcrafted in Gaydon, England, making each one unique. The leather is hand-stitched, the carbon fibre components are sculpted for both beauty and function, and every detail is obsessively refined.

Collector’s Corner: Ferrari 308 Dino GT4 – An Underrated Investment Gem
“Dino” – a name that once set Ferrari purists on edge, but now? A goldmine for collectors.
The Ferrari 308 Dino GT4 was the first Ferrari ever designed by Bertone, breaking away from Pininfarina’s traditional curves to introduce a striking wedge-shaped design that would define the 1970s. More importantly, this was Ferrari’s first mid-engine V8, a layout that would go on to power some of Maranello’s most iconic machines.
Originally badged as a Dino, Ferrari later rebranded the model under its own name—cementing its place in the marque’s history. Today, well-preserved examples like this one are skyrocketing in value, with collectors recognising its historical importance and unique appeal.
This 1975 example finished in Rosso Corsa over a Black Velour Interior is a true time capsule, complete with:
✅ Original Cromodora Dino Wheels
✅ Original Steering Wheel & Leather Dashboard
✅ Meticulously Maintained – Full Service History
✅ Includes Tools & Spare Wheel
With only 35,000 km, this Dino 308 GT4 is not just a piece of history—it’s a solid investment opportunity in Ferrari’s evolving legacy.

Engine Note of the Month: Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale – A Symphony of Speed
Some engines growl, some roar—but the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale screams like an F1 car at full tilt. This is a car built for purists, a raw, unfiltered expression of Ferrari’s racing DNA, and one of the finest-sounding V8s ever created.
Born for the Track, Built for the Road
Inspired by Ferrari’s one-make Challenge racing series, the 360 Challenge Stradale is not just a track-focused version of the 360 Modena—it’s a different beast entirely.
🔴 110kg lighter than the standard 360, thanks to extensive use of carbon fibre, Lexan windows, and a stripped-down interior.
🔴 Racing-tuned suspension & aerodynamics—borrowed from Ferrari’s GT racing division.
🔴 F1-style gearbox shifts in just 150 milliseconds—blisteringly fast for its time.
The Soundtrack: Pure Ferrari Perfection
The Challenge Stradale’s 3.6L naturally aspirated V8 delivers 425 bhp, but its real magic lies in its sound:
🔊 High-revving scream at 8,500 rpm—an unmistakable F1-inspired shriek.
🔊 Titanium exhaust system, reducing backpressure and creating an aggressive, razor-sharp note.
🔊 Race-spec intake and exhaust tuning, making it louder, sharper, and more aggressive than any other road-going 360.
The best way to describe the 360 Challenge Stradale’s exhaust note? Imagine a Ferrari 458 Speciale mixed with a 2004 F1 car, and you’re close. It’s a spine-tingling, hair-raising symphony of Italian fury, and it only gets better as you push it toward the redline.
