Performance and Precision

The Vantage Roadster is powered by Aston Martin’s 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo engine, producing an extraordinary 665PS and 800Nm of torque. This engineering marvel combines breathtaking acceleration, a top speed of 202mph, and a 0-62mph time of just 3.6 seconds. Paired with an eight-speed paddle-shift transmission and an electronically controlled limited-slip differential, the Roadster delivers a driving experience that is both exhilarating and refined.

With its class-leading retractable roof, the Vantage Roadster adds an acoustic dimension to the drive, allowing occupants to enjoy the full symphony of the iconic V8 engine. Whether cruising through city streets or powering along winding roads, this is a car that immerses you in the pure joy of driving.

Designed Without Compromise

The Vantage Roadster has been meticulously engineered to match the dynamic attributes of its Coupé counterpart. Designed and developed in tandem, the Roadster boasts exceptional structural rigidity and minimal weight increase, ensuring there is no compromise in performance or handling. Advanced materials, such as an ultra-stiff aluminium structure and composite body panels, contribute to a class-leading weight gain of just 60kg compared to the Coupé.

The innovative ‘Z-fold’ roof design sets a benchmark for convertible technology. Operable at speeds of up to 31mph, the roof can be opened or closed in a mere 6.8 seconds – the fastest automatic roof mechanism in the market. This cutting-edge design not only enhances the car’s aerodynamics but also preserves its sleek silhouette, whether the roof is up or down.

A Rich Heritage

The Vantage Roadster continues Aston Martin’s tradition of crafting extraordinary open-top sports cars. This legacy dates back to 1950 with the Vantage engine upgrade for the DB2, a model that epitomised power and elegance. Celebrating 20 years since the introduction of the 2005 V8 Vantage, the Roadster is a testament to Aston Martin’s commitment to innovation and craftsmanship.

Engineering Excellence

The Vantage Roadster’s performance is underpinned by cutting-edge technology and meticulous engineering. Its suspension system features race-inspired double wishbones at the front, a multi-link rear axle, and adaptive dampers tailored specifically for the Roadster. Bespoke Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tyres provide exceptional grip and steering precision, ensuring confidence in all conditions.

Advanced electronic systems, including a six-axis sensor suite and an adaptive traction control system, allow drivers to fine-tune the car’s behaviour to suit their preferences and the driving environment. With eight traction control settings, the Vantage Roadster balances safety, performance, and sheer driving pleasure.

The signature Aston Martin grille has been optimised to enhance airflow, while the car’s widened stance and dramatic rear spoiler amplify its athletic presence.

The Roadster introduces three new paint colours – Iridescent Sapphire, Satin Iridescent Sapphire, and Bronze Flare – alongside an array of customisation options through the Q by Aston Martin programme. From bespoke liveries to personalised interior finishes, each Vantage Roadster can be tailored to reflect its owner’s unique vision.
