Iconic British luxury auto marque Aston Martin debuts the limited edition V12 Vantage Roadster.

A limited production model that combines the performance of the most powerful Aston Martin Vantage ever made with the freedom of roof down driving, the new V12 Vantage Roadster elevates the open-top driving experience to exhilarating highs.

Limited to just 249 customer examples globally, it boasts a dramatic wide body design, ground-hugging wide-track suspension and – for the first time in a Vantage Roadster – the 5.2-litre Twin-Turbo V12 engine. Hold onto your hats, as the car offers searing straight-line speed, accelerating from rest to 100km/hr in just 3.5 seconds and with a top-line speed of 321km/hr.

With searing straight-line speed and the unfiltered howl of Aston Martin’s sonorous 700PS 12-cylinder engine, the V12 Vantage Roadster elevates the open-top driving experience to a scintillating new level. Sharing the same suspension hardware as the V12 Vantage, but featuring a bespoke tune for its adaptive dampers, the V12 Vantage Roadster’s dynamics have been honed to the keenest possible edge. The steering calibration mirrors that found in the V12 Vantage, offering maximum steering feel and quick response, improvements that bring the car alive through corners and can be felt with every steering input.

As a flagship model of the Vantage range, the Roadster is fitted with Sports Plus Seats trimmed in semi-aniline leather, while a carbon fibre performance seat with an exposed twill carbon fibre shell and manual six-way adjustment is an optional extra.
