The DB11 V8 Volante is the convertible companion to the DB11 V8 coupe, joining the range for the 2019 model year as the only open-top DB11 body style — Aston Martin never paired the drop-top with the 5.2-liter V12 in this generation. It shares the coupe's Mercedes-AMG-sourced 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and swan-hinged doors, with a folding roof in place of the fixed one.
The retractable top and added structural reinforcement add roughly 240 lb (110 kg) over the V8 coupe, enough to bring the Volante close to V12-coupe weight despite using the lighter V8 engine. Its weight distribution is the most rearward-biased in the DB11 range.

No. Within this generation, the convertible body was offered only with the V8 — Aston Martin never built a 5.2-liter V12 Volante on the DB11 platform.
Likely, but not independently confirmed here. Period pricing listings show a Volante still in the lineup through the coupe's post-2021 update (including a 2021 "Shadow Edition" Volante), which suggests it carried the updated tune, but a Volante-specific post-update spec sheet wasn't found during this research pass.
