Like its roofed counterpart, the drop-top version of the model is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 that's paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
With a top speed just a hair slower than the Vantage Coupe, the Roadster can still reach an impressive 305kph when the roof is up. From a standstill, the model can run up to 100kph in 3.7 seconds.
The fabric roof can be lowered in a record-setting 6.7 seconds at speeds up to 50kph and raised in 6.8 seconds.
Whether taking the top down or not, various components like the powertrain, chassis, and even body panels have been specially tuned to give drivers a dynamic, sporty experience similar to the Coupe, an experience that is further enhanced by the inclusion of features like Adaptive Damping, Dynamic Stability Control, and Dynamic Torque Vectoring, among other system technologies.
The Vantage Roadster comes with a starting price of US$161,000 (RM667,000). Deliveries are set to begin during the second quarter of this year.
