Aston Martin has established itself as an iconic and highly sought-after brand, thanks to its partnerships with the James Bond franchise and continued production of some of the best luxury cars on the market. The brand’s unrivalled British heritage mixed with good looks, put its models high on the wish list of many car enthusiasts.
It seems that each Aston Martin model improves on the last, offering a new style and a range of unique features. With that in mind, we’ve put the spotlight on the Aston Martin Vantage Roadster and picked out a few features which we think you’ll love.
1. Folding Soft Top
‘Roadster’ only means one thing, and that’s roofless motoring. Proper wind-in-the-hair stuff, and in the case of the Vantage, you’ll want the top down as much as possible, even if that does mean a few icicles on your eyebrows.
The roof can be operated until you reach speeds of 30mph, and takes less than 7 seconds to go up or down, making it the fastest in its class in terms of manoeuvrability.
2. Vaned Front Grille
Inspired by the DB10 and re-introduced to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the ‘Vantage’ name, the ‘vaned’ front grille gives the model a huge presence. Its front swaps the mesh and integrated splitter for a much more minimalistic look, which suits the slick body of the Vantage perfectly.
The grille has been said to replicate the intimidating aura of a shark, but whilst it’s mean on the roads, we’d recommend steering away from any aquatic adventures - it doesn’t share the features as the famous Lotus Esprit S1…
3. Legendary Aston Martin Engine: The 4.0-litre V8
Tucked behind the stunning exterior is an engine which really can’t be understated. The 4.0-litre twin-turbo engine really does sing, in fact, here are some of its greatest hits:
- Bhp - 503
- 0-62mph - 3.7s
- Rpm - 6,000
- Torque - 505 lb-ft
- Power - 375 kW
4. Luxurious Interior
If you judge this book by its cover, you won’t be disappointed when you take a look inside. The interior is flush with fine materials and luxurious touches throughout the cabin.
The steering wheel is wrapped in the finest leather, with the iconic Aston Martin logo embossed front and centre. Space shouldn’t be an issue either as the boot offers 200 litres to play around with - perfect for running your clubs down to the golf course or nipping out for a weekend shopping spree.
5. Exclusive Paint Colours
Premium paint isn’t the reserve of many supercar manufacturers anymore, but Aston Martin has got it right.
With such a wide range of colours to choose from, you can select one which reflects your personality, whether it be bright and bold or calm and mysterious.
We imagine most customers looking to add the Vantage Roadster to their collection will have a hard time turning down the classic lightning silver paint job synonymous with everybody’s favourite ‘00’, but the Cosmos Orange and Supernova Red do offer some exciting alternatives.
