摘要

It's getting on for two years since The Engineer first drove the Aston Martin DB11, but there are some significant differences between the V12-engined Coupe that we sampled in 2017 and the new Volante. Most noticeably, Aston Martin has taken a can opener to its best-selling model to create the car you see here.
