Aston Martin is proud to present the new Vantage Roadster, the convertible companion to the world-conquering Vantage Coupe. Powered by Aston Martin’s twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine producing 665 horsepower, the Vantage Roadster offers all the performance, dynamic sensations and excitement of the coupe, with more freedom and thrills for open-air motoring enthusiasts. It was essential that all the impact of the Vantage Coupe was retained for the Vantage Roadster, which had to retain its lines both with the roof raised and lowered. This goal has been achieved: when the roof is closed, the Vantage Roadster looks like it was never designed to be anything else. The strongly angled windscreen joins the top of the car to create a proportionally authentic sports car profile.
The widened stance introduced on the coupe is retained on the Roadster, as is the enlarged aperture of the characteristic Aston Martin grille; a lesson in how to combine beauty and functionality, with the large grille increasing the airflow of the powerful engine by almost 30 per cent. ‘The new Vantage Roadster is a plastic masterpiece. The resonant roar of its engine gives life to the simple yet refined design of its surfaces, creating an unmistakable bond. Its form exudes beauty, its athletic line conveys a gritty character and its sound offers a visceral and sensory experience,’ said Marek Reichman, Chief Creative Officer of Aston Martin.
Like all Aston Martins, Vantage customers can explore endless customisation possibilities through the Q by Aston Martin service. Thanks to the expertise of Q’s designers and craftsmen and women, customers can embark on an unforgettable customisation journey that can include everything from a single small distinctive detail to the design and large-scale production of fully customised components to create a truly unique piece. The Vantage Roadster, like its Coupe counterpart, is the latest model to feature Aston Martin’s next-generation infotainment. Created in-house and first introduced on the DB12, it is entirely customised and developed in-house from scratch. The system brings together a fully integrated multi-screen with full online connectivity, 10.25-inch Pure Black touchscreen technology with single capacitive and multi-touch gesture control.
