Astons don't have speed limiters.

The Volante was restricted to "only" 165mph until the 07my when it had the same full fat 186 mph as the coupe ( the roll over sensors were also upgraded in the same year  ) I'd talk to your local friendly A.M. Dealer or the Bamford team to see what's possible.

Is this something that would require a remap of the ECU? I know on my old S4 it was derestricted via the ECU fast road map that I had.

Bamford Rose have removed the 165mph speed limiter from my 06 Volante; no issues WHATSOEVER as Aston themselves took it off the next year when they realised the roof was absolutely fine. Give them a call. And get some manifolds while you're there, you'll find it reaches that speed an awful lot quicker...
