1998 Aston Martin DB7 Volante

It's a relaxed, long-legged cruiser that feels more refined than urgent, even with the supercharger. The cabin wraps you in Connolly leather and burr walnut, with a proper sports-car driving position. Early DB7s are known for electrical gremlins and cooling system quirks, so a well-serviced example matters. The Volante is the open-top DB7 for buyers who want wind-in-the-hair motoring without the hardtop's fixed roof; the coupe is lighter and a bit stiffer, but the convertible adds a power-operated top that folds neatly under a tonneau. Volante-specific touches include a thicker rear anti-roll bar to compensate for the missing roof structure, so the ride is a touch firmer than the coupe's but still very compliant on long trips.
