The Vanquish Volante gets a triple layered fabric roof which takes 14 seconds to hide itself inside the boot at a touch of a button. Aston Martin says that the boot space on offer is 50% more than the DBS Volante, the outgoing car. The boots offers 279 litre of useable space irrespective of the roof's positioning.
