Aston Martin Db11

When James Bond orders his vodka martini shaken, not stirred, he’s actually ordering a watered-down drink. Why? Because shaking the mixture would chip the ice, and the smaller ice chips melt faster, watering down the drink.

Aston Martin’s foxy DB11 sports coupe is getting a convertible variant in the form of the 2018 DB11 Volante. The open top version of the DB11 shares much of the visual appeal of the hard top, but with the opportunity to enjoy some wind in your hair.

I just wrapped up my annual visit to the Chicago Auto Show’s media days, and as usual, the show was packed with a wide array of the latest and greatest cars from almost every major manufacturer.

Aston Martin is using Facebook to tease a new model that will launch in 2018. The car is the Aston Martin DB11 Volante. That is Aston speak for a convertible version of its impressive DB11 grand tourer.

If you’re looking for a fast, comfortable long-distance tourer, and you have some money to spend, you really can’t go wrong with Aston Martin’s DB line of vehicles. The DB9 was arguably the company’s break-through model, using all new architecture and featured modern technology.
