Meet the Aston Martin Vantage Roadster
VANTAGE ROADSTER
ENGINEERED FOR REAL DRIVERS
The new Vantage Roadster. Head-turning. Jaw-dropping. Roof-raising. The definitive front-engine, rear-wheel, convertible sports car. Exuding dynamic ability, visceral drama and the sleekest of profiles. A hand-crafted all-aluminium 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 producing class-leading outputs of 665PS and 800Nm. A roof that opens seamlessly in just 6.8 seconds. The Vantage Roadster – the new benchmark for thrill seekers everywhere. Open your emotions.
PERFORMANCE
A PEAK OF POWER
Like the Coupe before it, the Roadster marks the most emphatic leap in power – and most elevated jump in emotion – in over 70 years of the Vantage bloodline. At its heart, a boldly reworked, hand-built 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8. Meticulously engineered. Producing a peak of 665PS and a colossal 800Nm of torque. A driving experience, heightened.
ROOF DOWN. INTENSITY UP
The new Vantage Roadster sees increased stiffness through weight-optimised structural shear panels. Enhanced rear stiffness compared to the coupe allows chassis-mounted components like DTX dampers to perform at their optimum. Combined with larger anti-roll bars to maximise body control. Syncing the driver with the experience. Creating an intensely responsive drive. Every sensation felt more fully. From the road below. To the sky above.
DESIGN
STYLING
Beneath the Roadster’s Z-fold roof awaits a cockpit design that is reworked, redesigned and revolutionary. Building out the interiors with more horizontal surfaces. Mirroring horizon lines. Syncing the driver with the environment. Cocooned within traditional, hand-stitched Bridge of Weir® leather. With the lower hip point dropping the driver into a deeper sportier position. Within easy reach of the metallised switch for roof opening and closing, which nestles at the base of the centre console. Each addition freeing you to drive with more precision.
EXTERIOR DESIGN
As stunning with the roof up as it is with it down. Showcasing authentic, uncompromised lines. The Roadster’s class-leading Z-fold roof is both a mechanism and a statement. Making this new convertible Vantage as eye-catching as it is iconic. A timeless design, refocused through a contemporary lens. A celebration of pure head-up, foot-down, pleasure-seeking driving hedonism. Truly, a breath of fresh air.
DESIGNED FOR DYNAMISM
Even with the top down, the increased track width gives Vantage Roadster an intensified road presence, whether static or at speed. The new front-end hosts a vaned, recontoured grille helping to drive a 50% greater cooling capacity. A final touch comes in the form of a new optimised front splitter. Tuned to enhance airflow into larger front apertures without compromising aero balance and downforce.
INTERIOR DESIGN
Roadster boasts an interior that deserves to be seen. Brushed with flawless lines, exquisite materials, state-of-the-art connected technology, and a seamless fusion of digital and analogue. Merging super modernity with an echo of heritage. Cutting-edge technology with effortless usability. Tactile mechanical switchgear combined with the latest evolution of Pure Black technology touchscreens.
LESS LIFT. MORE GRAVITAS
More formidable, from nose to tail. Vantage Roadster is finished with a broad rear end. To cut lift, wheel-arch vents bleed-off air and the rear diffuser keeps the car grounded by managing and optimising airflow to create low pressure under the car. The quad-exhaust tailpipes sign off emphatically, as memorable for their visual power as for their stainless-steel roar.
DYNAMIC, EVEN AT REST
The side of the Vantage Roadster sees the return of the iconic Aston Martin side strake. For a touch of dynamism even while standing at ease. The flank is finished by new side sills, frameless door mirrors and presenting door handles. Roadster’s Z-fold roof folds seamlessly into its sleek silhouette.
