Is the DB12 Volante slower than the Coupe?

Marginally — 0-100km/h is around 3.7s vs the Coupe's 3.6s due to the additional ~50kg of chassis bracing required for the convertible body. Top speed is unchanged at 325km/h.

What is the K-fold roof on the DB12 Volante?

Aston Martin's K-fold is a multi-layer fabric soft-top that deploys in 14 seconds at speeds up to 50km/h. Unlike a folding hardtop it preserves rear-seat headroom and adds less weight.

How does the DB12 Volante compare to a Mercedes-AMG SL 63?

The SL 63 ($380,500 AU) undercuts the DB12 Volante by over $110,000 with similar performance (3.6s 0-100, same 4.0L V8). The DB12 Volante has a more bespoke cabin, exclusive coach-built styling and the Aston Martin badge. The SL 63 has Mercedes-AMG's dealer network and 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive.

The Aston Martin DB12 is positioned as the world's first 'super tourer' — a grand-touring coupe with supercar performance. The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 produces 500kW and 800Nm, the most ever in a DB-line Aston, paired with an 8-speed ZF automatic and rear-wheel drive with an electronic limited-slip differential. 0-100km/h takes 3.6 seconds, top speed 325km/h. The cabin is a clean-sheet design with a new EVA platform-shared infotainment (the first Aston Martin-developed system, replacing the Mercedes-MBUX hand-me-down). Competes with the Bentley Continental GT, Ferrari Roma and Mercedes-AMG GT 63.
