Gaydon, Warwickshire: Aston Martin has unveiled the highly anticipated Vantage Roadster, an open-top marvel that redefines the benchmarks of luxury, performance, and design. Following the success of the Vantage Coupe launched in 2024, the Roadster arrives with an unparalleled blend of power, agility, and engineering sophistication, catering to enthusiasts who crave both adrenaline and freedom.
Uncompromising Performance
At the heart of the Vantage Roadster lies the robust 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo engine, pushing an extraordinary 665PS and 800Nm of torque. This delivers a 0-60mph sprint in a mere 3.5 seconds and a breathtaking top speed of 202mph — numbers identical to its coupe counterpart. Aston Martin engineers have achieved this without compromise, ensuring the Roadster’s lightweight construction adds only 60kg, including its advanced convertible roof.
The Z-fold roof mechanism is a masterpiece in itself, setting a new industry benchmark with a complete open or close cycle in just 6.8 seconds at speeds up to 31mph. This system not only prioritizes speed but also elegance, seamlessly integrating with the car’s flowing lines to maintain its aesthetic appeal in both open and closed configurations.
Engineering Excellence
Designed alongside the Vantage Coupe, the Roadster maintains the uncompromising dynamic qualities of its sibling. Its structure benefits from reinforced aluminum and strategically placed weight-optimized shear panels for exceptional rigidity, ensuring flawless handling.
Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers with bespoke tuning, an Electronic Rear Differential (E-diff), and a non-isolated steering column work in harmony to offer unmatched precision and driver engagement. Meanwhile, bespoke Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tyres deliver superlative grip and a sharp yet progressive feel in diverse driving conditions.
A Soundtrack to Thrill
The Roadster’s retractable roof enhances the sensory experience, bringing occupants closer to the visceral roar of its V8 engine. The vehicle’s acoustics, designed to amplify the natural sound dynamics, create an unforgettable auditory performance that elevates every drive.
Design Without Compromise
Maintaining the bold aesthetics of the Vantage Coupe, the Roadster adds a touch of convertible sophistication. The absence of a tonneau cover and its sleek roofline emphasize the car’s sporting credentials. Available in a palette of new paint colors, including Iridescent Sapphire and Bronze Flare, the Roadster offers extensive customization options through Aston Martin’s Q personalisation service.
Luxury Meets Cutting-Edge Technology
Inside, the Vantage Roadster features Aston Martin’s next-generation infotainment system. A 10.25” Pure Black touchscreen, combined with physical controls for key functions, provides intuitive operation. The system is complemented by full online connectivity and a bespoke app for seamless interaction.
For audiophiles, the Bowers & Wilkins audio system, specifically tuned for the Roadster’s cabin, promises an immersive listening experience, rivaled only by the symphony of its V8.
A Heritage of Excellence
Celebrating 75 years of the Vantage lineage, the Roadster draws inspiration from its storied predecessors while setting new benchmarks. As Aston Martin marks the 20th anniversary of the modern V8 Vantage, the Roadster represents the zenith of engineering and design, tailored for drivers who demand both excitement and sophistication.
Looking Ahead
Deliveries for the Vantage Roadster begin in Q2 2025, joining Aston Martin’s prestigious lineup, including the DB12, DBX707, and the upcoming Valhalla supercar. With its unmatched blend of performance, luxury, and innovation, the Vantage Roadster solidifies Aston Martin’s position at the forefront of automotive excellence.
For those who dream of the ultimate open-air driving experience, the Aston Martin Vantage Roadster promises to be an exhilarating companion on every journey.
