Engineering and Performance
Engineered to maximise emotions. Crafted around a more powerful engine and stiffened to enhance control. Integrated with new technologies, with no detail overlooked in creating the most engaging driver’s car. More agility. More precision. More dynamism. The Roadster awakens your inner driver’s senses.
Feel Every Element of Performance
Built for those who crave connection, the Vantage Roadster channels raw performance through refined engineering. Its upgraded powertrain delivers greater output, while a reinforced chassis sharpens responsiveness in every corner. Cutting-edge technology meets handcrafted precision to create a car that does not just respond, it communicates. This is driving in its most immersive form: agile, poised, and intensely alive.
Power, Redefined
Like the Coupé before it, the Roadster represents the most significant leap in performance and the most profound surge in emotion in over 70 years of the Vantage bloodline. At its core lies a boldly reworked, hand-built 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8. Meticulously engineered to deliver a peak output of 665PS and a colossal 800Nm of torque. This is a driving experience taken to new heights.
Pure Connection
The Vantage Roadster’s non-isolated steering column creates a pure, direct connection between your input and the road, delivering unfiltered feedback for an authentic driving experience.
Balanced Performance
With a near-perfect 49:51 weight distribution, the Vantage Roadster is classically configured and meticulously poised with a front mid-engine and rear-wheel drive layout. Unique in its class, more than three-quarters of its mass is precisely balanced between the two axles, giving it the ideal equilibrium to explore the limits of performance.
Precision in Motion
Experience the Vantage Roadster as it carves through corners with pulse-raising precision. Next-generation torque shaping and Electronic Stability Control manage traction intelligently, while the automatic ZF 8-speed transmission with a shorter final drive delivers explosive acceleration.
Stopping Power
Precision-engineered steel brakes provide exceptional stopping power as standard. Optional Carbon Ceramic Brakes reduce unsprung mass by 27kg and improve efficiency, with 400mm front and 360mm rear discs resisting fade up to 800 degrees. The result is later braking and a more engaging drive.
EXTERIOR
The Vantage Roadster is as striking with the roof up as it is with it down, showcasing authentic, uncompromised lines. Its class-leading Z-fold roof is both a mechanism and a statement, making this new convertible as eye-catching as it is iconic. A timeless design, refocused through a contemporary lens, it celebrates the pure pleasure of head-up, foot-down driving. Truly, a breath of fresh air.
Shaped for Performance
Even with the roof down, the Vantage Roadster’s increased track width gives it a commanding presence, whether at a standstill or in motion. The new front end features a vaned, recontoured grille that delivers 50% greater cooling capacity. Completing the design is an optimised front splitter, carefully tuned to enhance airflow into the larger front apertures while maintaining aerodynamic balance and downforce.
A Heightened State
The Roadster’s Z-fold roof creates an open-air driving experience, folding down to just 210mm for a sleek profile while maximising luggage space. It opens or closes in 6.8 seconds at speeds of up to 31 mph, all at the touch of a button.
Commanding Presence
The Vantage Roadster’s broad rear reduces lift, with wheel-arch vents and a rear diffuser managing airflow to keep the car grounded. Quad-exhaust tailpipes add a striking visual and deliver a distinctive stainless-steel roar.
Elegance in Every Line
The side profile of the Vantage Roadster brings back the iconic Aston Martin side strake, adding a sense of dynamism even while at rest. New side sills, frameless door mirrors and presenting door handles complete the sleek, sculpted flank. The Z-fold roof folds seamlessly into the silhouette, maintaining the Roadster’s clean lines and confident presence.
Engineered for Precision
The enlarged 21-inch hand-forged alloy wheels are crafted using advanced simulation tools to remove every gram of excess mass while preserving strength and elegance. A bespoke blend of tyres further minimises weight and maximises durability, delivering improved breakaway characteristics for increased traction and enhanced grip on every drive.
Illuminate the Night
The Roadster features LED headlights with a new daytime running light (DRL) signature, designed using AI and crafted in a distinctive six-block pattern to eliminate light refraction from the LED beam. Each unit is intricately detailed and engraved with the Aston Martin wordmark, ensuring your presence is unmistakable, leaving your signature on every night drive.
