Say hello to Aston Martin’s latest offering, the new V12 Vantage S Roadster. Set to arrive in markets later this year, the new sports car will become the company’s most potent, fastest and fastest-accelerating series production roadster to date and follows in the broad tyre tracks of the V12 Vantage S Coupe that was launched in 2013.
The new V12 Vantage S Roadster is equipped with the latest Aston Martin AM28 6.0-litre V12 engine that delivers 565bhp and 620Nm of torque. This allows the roadster to sprint from 0- 100km/h in 4.1 seconds whilst reaching a top speed of 323 km/h.
The naturally aspirated mill feeds the rear wheels through a Sportshift III 7-Speed automated manual transmission that replaces the six-speed manual gearbox found in the previous V12 Vantage Roadster. Aston Martin also claims that the V12 Vantage Roadster is also appreciably lighter – saving 20 kg versus its forebear.
Along with the uprated engine, the Roadster borrows the V12 Vantage Coupe’s suspension with three-stage adaptive damping (Normal, Sport & Track), carbon ceramic brake discs all round and ZF Servotronic power assisted steering.
Inside, as out, the new car has been styled to reflect its powerful nature. New-style seat trim and door trims, with Sport and carbon fibre lightweight seat options – present V12 Vantage S Roadster buyers with an exciting array of choices.
The optional Interior Carbon Pack, which adds carbon fibre to the car’s facia and door pulls, plus the availability for the first time in a V12 Vantage S Roadster of black pedals, further enhances personalisation options for those in search of a truly bespoke sports car.
Meanwhile, for V12 Vantage S Roadster, the company is introducing a Q by Aston Martin Collection which comprises bespoke features that includes a palette of bold exterior and interior colours along with a wide selection of trim options.
