ASTON MARTIN V8 VANTAGE ROADSTER

The V8 Vantage Roadster embodies the qualities that are integral to Aston Martin: Power, Beauty and Soul. Representing the essence of pure driving pleasure, the new Roadster is a compact sports car that offers an astonishing blend of performance and exhilaration, a car with two distinct personalities: open and invigorating, or closed, cosseting and protective.

At the heart of the V8 Roadster is a powerful 4.3 litre (380 bhp) engine, unique to Aston Martin. True to Aston Martin tradition, it is as musical as it is muscular, an engine that entertains in every sense. With 62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 5.0 seconds and a maximum speed of 175 mph (280 km/h) its performance figures are as heady as you would expect of an Aston Martin.

The light, strong body structure of the Vantage Roadster is perfectly matched to the specially designed double wishbone suspension, resulting in outstanding handling and excellent ride quality.

Instantly recognisable as an Aston Martin, the Vantage Roadster is a unique and singular design statement that has been styled and engineered to excel from every angle. The fabric hood stows neatly beneath a metal tonneau cover, its lines blending seamlessly into the muscular rear haunches of this powerful car. Driver and passenger are ensconced in leather-lined luxury within a cabin that displays Aston Martin’s celebrated craft and technology skills.

Like all Aston Martins, the Vantage Roadster is hand-assembled and hand-finished, allowing its designers freedom to produce the perfect form, without the constraints and inflexibility of mass production. Only craftsmen can deliver the design details and level of finish that Aston Martin engineers and designers demand.

As you would expect of an Aston Martin, it has been thoroughly – and painstakingly – tested. The V8 Vantage Coupé and Roadster have endured the most extensive testing and development programme in the company’s long history: no fewer than 50 prototypes were vigorously tested over more than half a million miles.

Dynamically, the Vantage Roadster has enviable credentials: a high-performance, advanced, lightweight V8 engine, one of the most lightweight, rigid body structures available, fully independent double wishbone suspension and optimum weight distribution. Put them together and it’s little wonder that the result is a supremely agile and entertaining open sports car that offers an invigorating ride.
