Aston Martin has officially unveiled the new V12 Vantage S Roadster, which is the company’s fastest and most potent roadster to date. Providing the most visceral yet engaging open-top experience in Aston Martin’s current range, the new V12 Vantage S Roadster delivers characteristic sporting agility underpinned by an enviable sports ‘soundtrack’ generated by its naturally aspirated V12 engine and expertly-tuned sports exhaust. The car comes stocked with the latest 565bhp Aston Martin AM28 6.0-litre V12 engine, featuring state-of-the-art Bosch engine management, which allows the car to reach a top speed of 360kmph and sprint from rest to 100kmph in only 4.1 seconds. As with its coupe sibling, race car technology runs right through the DNA of the V12 Vantage S Roadster.
This race-derived and motorsport-proven technology – used routinely in Aston Martin Racing’s race-winning Vantage GT4, Vantage GT3 and Vantage GTE competition cars – provides for great driver control with only milliseconds of torque interruption and delivers precise and swift gear changes. The new Roadster retains the same compact proportions of its predecessor while features such as the pronounced bonnet louvres, optional bold graphics (painted carbon front grille, front grille lipstick and tailgate panel) as well as the exterior carbon pack and flared wheel arches underscore its sporting abilities.
