2024 Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate Volante First Look Review: A Thrilling Final Chapter

Using the configurator for the coupe (the Volante wasn’t available to customize online), we could choose from an array of primary colors like Phantom Grey, Spicy Red, Aurora Blue, Copper Tan Metallic, and Californian Poppy. Specific colors are also available for the headlining, contrast stitching, and carpets, and there appear to be no limitations so you can easily end up with some bizarre combinations if you aren’t careful.

Trim inlay options include sporty carbon fiber, fingerprint-attracting Piano Black, Dyed Tamo Ash open pore, and Satin Chopped carbon fiber. A carbon fiber steering wheel is available via the Q by Aston Marin customization program.

Included in the standard specification are heated and power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, front/rear parking sensors, keyless entry, a 360-degree camera system, blind-spot detection, and integrated satellite navigation. That’s good to know since many mid-engined supercars of similar stature have no driver-assistance technologies at all, making the 770 Ultimate a safer choice if you’ll be spending most of your time on normal roads instead of the track.

The cargo space in a drop-top like the Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate Volante was never going to be great, and judging by the standard DBS’ specs of seven cubic feet, you’ll need to pack carefully for longer trips. In-cabin storage has never been a strong point for the DBS either, but this won’t be a huge concern for the typical buyer who probably has a DBX in the garage as well.
