Engineered to maximise emotions. Crafted around a more powerful engine. Stiffened to optimise control. Integrated with new technologies. No detail overlooked in producing the most engaging drivers’ car. More agility. More precision. More dynamism. The Roadster awakens your inner driver’s senses.
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.
Unforgettable performance. Arrowing through corners at pulse-quickening speeds. Next-generation torque shaping working with the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. Intelligently tailoring traction. Pinpointing grip more precisely. Weaving power through an automatic ZF 8-speed transmission. Delivering explosive in-gear acceleration through a shorter final drive ratio (3.083:1).
Vantage Roadster boasts a non-isolated steering column. Delivering an unmediated, unfiltered line between the tarmac, the tyres, the chassis and the steering wheel. Allowing a more direct exchange of information between steering input, vehicle response and the purer sense of the road surface. Without the slightest interference.
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.
Precision-engineered steel brakes offer superlative stopping power as standard. Or specify Carbon Ceramic Brakes to reduce unsprung mass by 27kg. 400mm at the front end, 360mm at the rear end. Defiantly increasing braking efficiency and reducing brake fade at temperatures up to 800 degrees thanks to drilled faces providing superior heat rejection. Later braking, enhanced performance, elevated emotion.
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.
The Roadster’s Z-fold roof system transforms the look of your car. An open-air driver’s nirvana. Lightweight. Compact. Designed to fold down to a mere 210mm stack height, giving a seamless, sleek rear profile, while also maximising luggage capacity. Form and function, as ever, as one. The roof opens or closes in just 6.8 seconds – a class-leading speed. Operational up to a speed of 31 mph. At the touch of a button.
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.
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.
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.
The structure of the enlarged 21-inch hand-forged alloy wheels was designed using simulation tools to remove every gram of excess mass without compromising strength or aesthetics. A bespoke blend of tyres also helps minimise weight and maximise durability, with improved breakaway characteristics for increased traction and more grip.
The Roadster shines with LED headlights and a new daytime running light (DRL) signature. Intelligently imagined by AI and cut in a 6-block pattern to give a distinct character and stop refraction of light from the LED beam in its tracks. Standing intricately detailed and engraved with the Aston Martin word mark. To leave your signature on the night.
Visually dynamic whilst standing still, Satin Iridescent Sapphire shimmers with lustrous movement. Blue tinted carbon fibre accents adorn the interior, a subtle yet striking nod to sophistication and performance.
Featuring a semi-coarse aluminum effect, the Magnetic Silver exterior achieves a perfect balance of light absorption and reflection, accentuating Vantage Roadster's silhouette. The Spicy Red interior provides a bold contrast, emphasising the performance-driven spirit within.
Introduced in the 1950s, California Sage made its debut on the iconic DB4. Perfectly suited to the classic lines of Vantage Roadster, its pale green tones create a sophisticated palette, while carbon fibre accents hint at the performance legacy beneath.
Yellow accents contour the Titanium Grey exterior, drawing out the warm and green like hue that is both refined and distinctive. Seamlessly flowing to the interior with Electron Yellow stitches dynamic tracing the elegant flowing lines.
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.
The heart of your Roadster is the core of your open-top driving experience. Clean, unbroken lines. Stylish, slender air vents. A striking yet elegant environment. Under a stunning yet evolving skyline. Fixed around the centre console and beginning with an engaging push of the starter button. The tactile haptics of a metal rotary dial let you explore and savour five different drive modes. More detailed commands can be actioned by the touch of a screen.
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.
A driver-centric dashboard, delivering a sense of space and clarity. Exquisitely appointed around 10.25-inch Pure Black touchscreen technology. 1970 x 720 pixels.
