2010 Aston Martin DBS Volante
The Aston Martin DBS Volante is the type of achingly gorgeous machine that could stop a groom mid-vow, “For rich or for… Look! A DBS!… till death do us part…”  Even James Bond couldn't resist this awesome auto. He drove the coupe version in 2008's Quantum of Solace. The drop top wears an insulated fabric roof that folds down in 14 seconds at speeds up to 48 km/h, perfect for creating pangs of instant jealousy outside Starbucks. But no matter where you go or what company you keep, tongues are sure to wag. This British beauty also has the “go” to back up its “show.” Although the word Volante means “moving with light rapidity,” the hand-built, all-alloy 6.0-litre V12 engine, pumps out 510 horsepower and 420-lb-ft of torque. You can opt for the six-speed manual gearbox, but there's also a six-speed Touchtronic automatic available. The run from zero to 100 km/h takes just 4.3 seconds.
