2012 Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Roadster

The 2012 Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Roadster - Honed to deliver an intense experience on the road using knowledge gained from victories on the track, the V8 Vantage S Roadster is a lesson in race-bred dynamism. More power, sharper handling, stronger brakes and a new seven-speed gearbox make it a sporting driver’s dream.

Review:
The new 4.7-litre V8 finally brings the Vantage’s bark in line with its actual bite. Where the old car sounded fast and then tended to be just a little flatter than you imagined, the new one feels infinitely more brawny. It’s a strange one because the figures aren’t all that different from the old car; bhp is up from 380 to 420 giving just 0.1 of a second’s edge 0-62mph. There’s also ‘only’ a 5mph increase in top speed to 180mph, but its in the mid-range (overtaking, corner-exit) that you’ll notice. This car goes hard and looks good.
