The Virage Volante

[XJR500bhp]

Not mine, it's my fathers, he just picked it up. He's had a few DB9's and I always thought they were good looking, but this is just gorgeous. The Ceramic brakes, extra power and handling changes make this car quite honestly one of my all time favourites. Only one in its colour apparently. Any other Virage owners on here?

Looks stunning

What colour is it - Volcano Red?

[XJR500bhp]

No it has quite a strange name, I can't remember it. Like I said I'm not sure if it's on any other Aston, or it could be dealer schpeel!

Cheers Tommy

Magma Red? Looks similar to Torro Red as well!

Absolutely beautiful, the more I see the Virage the better it looks.

[XJR500bhp]

It's a special order colour, not on the website. It's a very Italian sounding name, but I have totally forgotten it. Looks alot less pink in real life and much darker

Looks really nice

Rock on Tommy - fantastic car - you seem to know a fair bit about the car but cannot recall its colour

[XJR500bhp]

I'll get the name of the colour tomorrow, it's a tongue twister.

So is my wife Tommy - not many bad comments about the Virage will be found on this forum matey other than a critique of its strategic intent but that's for another day

Very nice!
Now just add the DBS boot lid and you have a new DB9!

Steve your genius is understated

I have aready learnt alot more about the Aston range with this car. I wasn't aware the 6.0 V12 cam cover colour signified either 450, 490 or 510bhp variants. The Indicators have been moved to the wing vents which is a nice touch. The sills are fantastic! A subtle change but they transform the side profile of the car.

It took me a while

[stevewushu]

But honestly, lovely car mate. Great colour too!

Not always... Mine is a DB9... But has DBS white inlet manifolds... And 522bhp

Does the car sound like a DB9 or DBS, or have its own exhaust tone?

[stevewushu]

C'mon now Mr Evans play fair!
He hasn't been to BR...yet....

I don't know why they don't do this on all of them. Easy to do, and much neater.
