The new Aston Martin Vantage Roadster is here, and it’s not just a car, it’s a must for anyone who believes the road is their personal catwalk. Boasting the same monstrous 665PS and 800Nm outputs from its 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo engine as its Coupe sibling, this convertible proves that going topless doesn’t mean sacrificing power or speed. With a top speed of 202 mph and a blistering 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds, the Roadster doesn’t just purr – it roars.
And yes, the electric roof operates faster than most people’s reflexes, opening or closing in 6.8 seconds at speeds up to 31 mph.
If you’re the type who cries about weight gain, don’t worry, the Roadster adds only a feather’s worth of heft while delivering a steely, uncompromised performance. Aston Martin hasn’t just built another convertible; they’ve engineered a roofless beast that dares you to chase sunsets and break speed limits (not recommended, of course). Adrian Hallmark, Aston’s CEO, gushes that this “fully reinvented experience” packs all the punch of the Coupe (just with more wind in your hair and sun on your skin). A worthy addition to the Vantage family, this is not mere nostalgia but a reinvention of 75 years of open-top thrills dating back to the DB2 drophead coupe.
With deliveries starting in Q2 2025, it’s time to raid those savings accounts or sell a kidney, because it’s clear the Vantage Roadster isn’t just a car for the road but a reason to own the road.
