Aston Martin | Aston Martin drive day - Solitaire Automotive | Page 1

So as it turns out the boys at Gaydon in the UK have been busy dreaming up another couple pieces of rolling art packed chock full of V12 warheads, and they are now menacing the tarmac on their promo tour around Australia.

Thanks heaps to Tim (smileone96) for the last minute inclusion as his date on the Aston Martin drive event - to think I was going to spend that time in the office...  The cars are currently at the Adelaide AM dealers - Solitaire Automotive - where we turned up around 9:30am to be greeted by Louise, Nigel, and a bunch of biggest and best shiny smiles England can muster.

The other NKOTB with a dozen chambers is the DBS Volante - Aston's new hairdresser-spec atom-smasher. 

It has the same engine as the V12 Vantage, this car has the paddle-pop shifters, a 3,000-speaker Bang & Olufson disco system, and mid-life-crisis unstoppable sex-appeal as standard.










 

I was wearing my race suit...

Photos of the DBS Volante interior please. ALso looking forward to hearing about the driving impression

If you have a few minutes to kill here's some random jittery tidbits from the day - vid may be pulled later, not sure yet.
