Aston Martin’s Vantage Roadster is just as rewarding to drive as the Coupe, but comes with an extra level of drama and excitement -
-sourced twin-turbo 4-litre V8, producing a healthy 503bhp and 505lb ft of torque, hooked up to the eight-speed automatic transmission. It enables the Roadster to have a 0-62mph time of 3.8sec and a top speed of 190mph – only two-tenths and 5mph down on the coupe. Entirely respectable in the circumstances, I’m sure you’ll agree.
True to the claims, the integrity of the shell is not in question, with very little flex felt through either the wheel or the driver’s backside to betray the structure has been compromised in any way, and no real rear-view mirror shake to speak of. There’s some buffeting in the cabin at speed, but nothing that’s too noticeable, and the air is warm enough today to make it entirely pleasant.
Where the Vantage Roadster really scores is when howling along a country road, taking curves with precision, offering an uninterrupted view of the surrounding countryside while the world looking on gets to see and hear a beautiful car in full flight.
