We’ve had the pleasure of driving the

Aston Martin DBS Superleggera

, with its 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 making an astonishing 715 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. The only drawback was not getting full exposure to the alpine air as we sped down the Autobahn. We’ve seen

spy shots

, though, of a

that could provide that experience, but it was still wearing camouflage. Now, our spy shooters have caught the

Superleggera Volante testing giving us a good look at the car

It was rainy as the car prowled around near the Nürburgring, so the convertible top was kept in the closed position. It still looks sleek as all heck, with sheets of water dripping from its tires and aerodynamic bits, fallen leaves trapped in the grille. The convertible top maintains the tight and low roofline of the coupe, but it significantly shrinks the rear window — but that visibility issue would be eliminated with the top dropped.

Under the hood and the rest of the sheet metal, we expect this to maintain all the mechanical goodness and sporty prowess of its fixed-top stablemate. We’re not sure when the official debut of the grand touring convertible will take place. We’re hoping we’ll have the chance to test it out before the fall leaves and drenching rains arrive in 2019.
