There is only one option for the $500,000 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante that doesn't have a comma in the price

The Aston Martin Vanquish Volante is the kind of car that redefines luxury, right down to the $600 Aston Martin umbrella.

As it turns out, this is the only customization option with a price tag that doesn’t require a comma.

While a $600 umbrella may seem excessive, you need to look at the bigger picture.

When your convertible costs as much as a house, even protecting yourself from the rain needs to feel exclusive.

Aston Martin’s fastest production car

A short Instagram reel from The Drive recently pointed out this quirky fact.

The Aston Martin Vanquish Volante has an extensive list of options available: everything from $2,000 carbon-fiber trim pieces to $20,000 paint finishes.

Amid all those zeros, the humble $600 umbrella stands alone as the ‘budget’ choice.

The journalist behind the video even admits it’s a great umbrella.

It’s sturdy, elegant, and even features the Aston Martin wings on the handle, but is obviously still absurdly expensive for something that’s likely to live in the trunk.

Of course, the Vanquish Volante isn’t just any car.

Launched in 2013, it is the convertible version of the British carmaker’s flagship GT.

This supercar uses the same 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 as the coupe, which now delivers 823hp and 738lb-ft of torque.

According to Aston Martin, it does 0-60mph in 3.4 seconds, and the top speed is 214mph, which makes it the fastest production convertible ever built by the carmaker.

The body is made almost entirely of carbon fiber, the cabin is lined with hand-stitched leather, and the entire car feels more like a tailored suit than a mode of transportation.

The umbrella is cheap compared to the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante

That’s why the Aston Martin umbrella kind of makes sense.

With the carmaker’s luxury ethos extending to every detail, what’s another $600 to keep your Bond-style hairdo dry?

Still, the internet had mixed reactions to this revelation.

Some joked that they needed financing plans just to buy the umbrella, while one astute observer said that the umbrella probably depreciates faster than the car, given how exclusive it is.

In a way, it’s a perfect snapshot of luxury in 2025: where the most affordable item in a supercar’s catalog is enough to buy an entire car in some cases.
