Spied: Aston Martin DBS Volante
Glenn Paulina and his spy shooting crew have captured another exotic beauty during sub-zero testing. This Aston Martin DBS Volante looks as if it would be right at home on the set of the next 007 thriller, but it’s just chilling in the Arctic Circle.
There probably won’t be many changes between the DBS coupe and Volante, but we do expect minor suspension tuning and a few other slight changes to make top-down motoring a little more enjoyable. The good news is that the same 6.0-liter V-12 ought to produce 510 horsepower and the car should only be a tick slower to 60 mph.

It now appears that James Bond can now go topless in his DBS. We caught this lovely Aston Martin DBS convertible prototype chilling in the most inhospitable of top-down conditions--winter testing in the Arctic Circle. The DBS' aggressive body kit is in full effect, but its new soft-top roof line is unmistakable, even with a thin layer of snow accumulating on the canvas roof. The DBS convertible's new profile looks striking, as the more upright backlight emphasizes the flat rear deck gives the new drop-top some truly exotic panache. A DBS convertible makes perfect sense, but its appearance on the test circuit is one of those out-of-the-blue surprises that should warm an enthusiast's heart. We know it made the subzero night much more bearable for our shivering shooter. Enjoy.
