INTRODUCING THE NEW V12 VANT ROADSTER
Aston Martin has unveiled the new V12 Vantage Roadster – a uniquely exciting and ultra-exclusive limited production model which combines the thrilling performance of the most powerful Aston Martin Vantage ever made with the freedom and sensory stimulation of roof-down driving . With production strictly limited to just 249 customer examples globally , with all examples sold ahead of release , the V12 Vantage Roadster boasts a compelling combination of dramatic widebody design , ground-hugging wide-track suspension and – for the first time in a Vantage Roadster - the mighty 5.2-litre Twin-Turbo V12 engine . With searing straight-line speed and the unfiltered howl of Aston Martin ’ s sonorous 700PS 12-cylinder engine , the V12 Vantage Roadster elevates the open-top driving experience to a scintillating new level .
Key to this exhilarating driving experience is the powerhouse of the engine . Developing 700PS at 6500 rpm and 753Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm , the quad-cam 60-deg 5.2-litre V12 is a true force of nature . With a power-to-weight ratio of 372PSper-ton and an endlessly impressive delivery which combines effortless in-gear response with epic acceleration , every squeeze of the V12 Vantage Roadster ’ s throttle leads to an unforgettable adrenaline rush .
Accelerating from rest to 60mph in just 3.5sec and with a top speed of 200mph the V12 Vantage Roadster occupies the very highest echelon of open-top sportscar performance . With a ZF 8- speed automatic transmission and mechanical Limited-Slip Differential ( LSD ) mounted at the rear , the car possesses the purity and balance of a front-mid-engined rear-wheel drive layout . An optimised transmission calibration minimises shift speeds and maximises driver interaction , while
adaptive software in the transmission ’ s control system monitors operating conditions and driver demands to enhance the driver ’ s feeling of response and control .
