Engineering and performance
Engineered to maximize emotions. Crafted around a more powerful engine. Stiffened to optimize 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
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).
Connect with the road and the sky
Vantage Roadster boasts a non-isolated steering column. Delivering an unmediated, unfiltered line between the tarmac, the tires, 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.
Roof down. Intensity up.
The new Vantage Roadster sees increased stiffness through weight-optimized 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 maximize 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.
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.
Exterior
An exterior made to be center of attention. In supreme command of every eyeball. Seething with statuesque style and a design DNA that could only ever be Aston Martin.
A heightened state
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 maximizing 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.
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 optimized 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 optimizing 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 tires also helps minimize weight and maximize durability, with improved breakaway characteristics for increased traction and more grip.
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 analog. 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 center of your driving world
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 center console and beginning with an engaging push of the starter button. The tactile haptics of a metal rotary dial let you explore and savor five different drive modes. More detailed commands can be actioned by the touch of a screen.
Air and grace
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 metallized switch for roof opening and closing, which nestles at the base of the center console. Each addition freeing you to drive with more precision.
12-Speaker Bowers & Wilkins Audio System
The Roadster comes with the option of the Halo system developed with Aston Martin’s audio partner, Bowers & Wilkins. Wrapping every corner with the 15-speaker, double amplified 1,170W surround sound system. Paired with dedicated 3D headline speakers and a powerful subwoofer. Bending sound to the will of your interior and leaving you as plugged into your favorite music, as you are to the road.
