Engineering and Performance
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.
A PEAK OF POWER
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 680PS and a colossal 800Nm of torque. A driving experience, heightened.
ALL ALUMINIUM. ALL POWER
Under the contoured bonnet crouches the V8. Cast in pure aluminium. 32 valves with a closed-deck block that multiplies strength and rigidity. Eviscerating unnecessary weight. Hot ‘V’ configuration provides a compact engine package utilising close-coupled, high-flow, twin-scroll turbos. Crowned with zirconium alloy cylinder heads. Surging with power. Spinning to a spine-tingling 7,000rpm.
VISUALLY STUNNING. AURALLY THRILLING
A distinctive V8 soundtrack to be recognised and relished with the roof down. From the sonorous howl under acceleration to the smooth rumble when cruising. A powerful pitch, altered by an index finger, touching a machined-metal rotary dial to select a choice of five different drive modes and exhaust settings from an all-new centre console. Let the quad-exhaust sound character kick in. Distinct. Raw. Full-bodied.
FEEL EVERY CORNER
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).
OBSESSION WITH PRECISION
Operating in total unison with the latest generation ESC system, the Electronic Rear Differential (E-diff) adapts its behaviour according to the approaching demands of the road – from the challenges of a relentless switchback alpine road to the cosseted curves of a country road. Helping the Roadster to rotate into tighter turns and exploit its razor-sharp yet composed front-end response. Inspiring confidence through high-speed bends where stability is crucial.
CONNECT WITH THE ROAD. AND THE SKY
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 ALGORITHM OF GRIP
Vantage Roadster is graced with the latest evolution of Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Adjustable Traction Control (ATC) systems. Effectively managing torque to optimise wheel slip. Actively predicting the exact level of grip available. Responding in the moment to instabilities. Allowing you the freedom to truly engage with the drive.
ROOF DOWN. INTENSITY UP
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.
EXQUISITE EQUILIBRIUM
Near-perfect 49:51 weight distribution. Classically configured and meticulously poised with a front mid-engine and rear-wheel drive. Unique in its class. More than three-quarters of the Roadster’s mass is perfectly balanced between the two axles. Giving it the perfect balance to exploit the limit.
IRRESISTIBLE BRAKING
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.
BESPOKE TREADS
Michelin Sport S 5 tyres. A proprietary blend specially made for the Vantage Roadster bloodline. Honed by Aston Martin and moulded by Michelin. Featuring a bespoke compound made to react with precision and to maximise high-grip levels on tarmac in any weather or road conditions. Super-sharp responses. The progressive breakaway characteristics expected from a car born of authentic motorsport pedigree.
Exterior
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.
DESIGNED FOR DYNAMISM
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.
DYNAMIC, EVEN AT REST
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.
LESS LIFT. MORE GRAVITAS
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.
ALLOYED TO PERFECTION
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.
OWN THE DARK
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.
Interior
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.
