Nothing beats a good breath of fresh air to stay sharp behind the wheel of an Aston Martin Vantage.
The new Aston Martin Vantage Roadster, the drop-top version of the 2024 Vantage coupe, is hitting the market. A model designed to deliver an exhilarating driving experience!
Equipped with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, the Vantage Roadster produces 665 hp and 800 Nm of torque. Thanks to a lightweight design, it adds only 60 kg compared to the coupe version, including the roof and structural reinforcements. The power-operated convertible roof can fold down in 6.8 seconds at speeds up to 50 km/h. The car maintains a top speed of 325 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds.
The Vantage Roadster continues the fine tradition of Aston Martin convertible models, starting in 1950 with the DB2. This year also marks the 20th anniversary of the modern V8 Vantage first introduced in 2005, which was followed by a Roadster version a year later.
To offset the shift in the center of gravity caused by the removable roof and to maintain an ideal 51/49 weight distribution, the chassis and suspension have been revised. This work allows the Roadster to combine the advantages of a convertible with performance and refinement similar to the coupe version. It’s hard not to be charmed by the elegant lines of this beautiful British car. The Vantage Roadster retains the visual impact and elegance of the coupe, with harmonious lines whether the roof is up or down. The inclined windshield and high beltline create an balanced sporty profile. The roof stows away without a tonneau cover, preserving aesthetics, while the enlarged grille improves engine cooling by 30% and gives it a distinctly badass look.
First deliveries of the Vantage Roadster are scheduled for the second quarter of 2025. It will be added to the lineup alongside the Vantage coupe, the DB12 and DB12 Volante, the new Vanquish, the DBX707 – a super SUV – as well as the upcoming hybrid supercar Valhalla.
If you’re feeling adventurous, the online configurator is already live on the Aston Martin website but pricing has not yet been announced. It is expected to exceed 200,000 euros, excluding 60,000 euros in taxes and penalties.
