Design

Assertive but not aggressive, elegant, graceful and quiet potency characterise the design of the Virage. Its beauty and class are as obvious as its formidable performance potential, yet there is something impressively understated about the way in which it draws your gaze. Where other designs ‘shout’ at you the Virage’s clean lines and muscled physique have rare visual magnetism.

A new hand-finished stainless steel grille, with elements shaped like wing sections, new intake meshes and striking double xenon headlights give the Virage a handsome face. A pair of recessed bonnet vents provide subtle clues as to the rear-set positioning of the front-mid-mounted V12 engine and are available in a choice of two styles for added personalisation. The bolder of the two options features a stepped design, reminiscent of a shark’s gills, bringing added animation to the detailing.

In Volante form the Virage’s lines retain all the fluidity and poise of the Coupe whether its roof is up or down. Made from fabric and incorporating an additional layer of Thinsulate® material to further muffle wind noise and give additional protection from the elements, the electrically powered hood can be lowered or raised with one touch of a button, at speeds of up to 30mph. When stowed, the roof sits beneath a flush fitting tonneau cover for optimum style and unobscured rearward vision.
