Only two photos of the model, in an unusual color for an Aston Martin, but the aesthetic is identical to the version of the closed accept, of course, the lack of hard roof to be replaced by a canvas (folding in 14 seconds).

The engine is the same 6.0 V12 517hp coupled to a six-speed manual transmission or an automatic sequential Touchtronic. It can Reaches 100 km / h in 4.3 seconds with a top speed of 307 hp.
