Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster
Aston Martin announced that the most eagerly anticipated convertibles of the year, the V8 Vantage Roadster, will be revealed at the 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show on Wednesday 29th November.
The new and So much expected V8 is an incredible cool car, consisting of an imaginative combination of different leathers, contemporary fabrics and aluminium. As Aston Martin themselves state in their press release, the V8 represents a single fluid form with characteristic attention to detail, both inside and out, representing the open sports car in its purest form.
The new Vantage Roadster has all the ingredients of a cool car: two seats, two-door body, soft cover convertible top and heated glass rear screen, automatic temperature control, heated rear screen, reversing sensors, trip computer and much more.
But the Aston Martin V8 is more than just a cool car, because the all-alloy quad overhead camshaft 32 valve, 4.3 litre V8 engine makes it also a very fast car. The engine also features variable inlet camshaft timing, dry sump lubrication system, fully catalysed stainless steel exhaust system with active bypass valves. The engine is front mid-mounted and the convertable has rear-wheel drive. The rear mid-mounted six-speed manual with optional Sportshift automated manual transmission gives the driver high precision when driving this fast cool car.
Deliveries of the V8 Vantage Roadster are expected to commence during quarter two 2007, with prices to be confirmed at a later date
