This 2012 Aston Martin Virage Volante is finished in Hammerhead Silver over Cream Truffle leather and Bitter Chocolate leather upholstery and is powered by a 5.9-liter V12 linked with a six-speed automatic transaxle and a limited-slip differential. It is further equipped with 20″ split-spoke alloy wheels, ceramic-composite disc brakes, and an active damping system as well as a Bang & Olufsen BeoSound sound system, a pop-up navigation screen, and heated front seats. The car was fitted with a replacement convertible top and engine mounts under previous ownership and was acquired by the current owner on BaT in November 2021. Now with 23k miles, this Virage is offered on dealer consignment with manufacturer’s literature, accessories, and a clean California title.
Aston Martin produced 388 Virage Volantes over a single model-year run. The cars were distinguished by a model-specific grille, front and rear fascias, and rocker panels compared to the contemporary DB9 and DBS. This example is finished in Hammerhead Silver (5121H) and has been fitted with a replacement brown soft top. Further details include slotted hood vents, Swan Wing door openings, and dual polished exhaust outlets along with xenon headlights, clear LED taillights, and parking sensors. The finish on the front towing eye cover does not match the paint.
The 20-spoke alloy wheels measure 20″ in diameter and are mounted with 245/35 front and 295/30 rear Yokohama tires. The car is equipped with an adaptive damping system, and braking is handled by six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers over cross-drilled and ventilated ceramic-composite discs at each corner.
The 2+2 cabin features Cream Truffle leather on the seats and lower surfaces, while Bitter Chocolate leather covers the upper surfaces and portions of the front seatbacks. The heated front seats feature position memory and wear Virage embroidery in the headrests. Additional interior amenities include a Bang & Olufsen BeoSound sound system, a CD stereo, a pop-up navigation screen, automatic climate control, and cruise control.
The multifunction steering wheel fronts column-mounted paddle shifters and is trimmed in black and Bitter Chocolate leather. Instrumentation consists of a 220-mph speedometer, a reverse-sweeping 8k-rpm tachometer, auxiliary gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature, and twin digital readouts. The digital odometer on this Aston Martin Virage Volante indicates 23k miles, approximately 1k of which have been added under current ownership.
The 5,935cc DOHC 48-valve V12 was factory rated at 490 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. The engine mounts were replaced under previous ownership in January 2021.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a rear-mounted six-speed Touchtronic 2 automatic transaxle and a limited-slip differential. Damage is visible on the front undertray.
