.AstonMartin builds the stunning V12 Vantage roadster it said it wouldn't:
It will be limited to 249 examples worldwide, and all have already been sold.
Aston Martin seems to have taken the advice of its most famous fictional brand ambassador—Britain’s leading not-very-secret agent, James Bond—and decided to never say never again. Although we were told when the was released that there were no plans to build a roadster version, this is very much a roadster version of the same car—one that has just been unveiled at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in California.Anybody who bought a V12 Vantage coupe on the grounds of the exclusivity guaranteed by its 333-unit production run likely won't be pleased by the arrival of the ragtop. But the rest of us should be able to forgive Aston Martin for having introduced something so good-looking.
Mechanically, the roadster is pretty much identical to the coupe. It uses a 690-hp version of Aston’s twin-turbocharged 5.2-liter V-12 engine, the same motor that powers the larger DB11 and DBS. This is accompanied by 555 pound-feet of torque, and sent to the rear axle through an eight-speed automatic gearbox and a mechanical limited-slip differential. A dual exhaust sits beneath the rear diffuser and is made from lightweight stainless steel.
