Product Overview

Aston Martin Vantage Roadster (chassis code AM6) is a compact convertible in production from 2020. It is available with a range of V8 and V12 engines that displaced 4.0 to 5.2 liters.
Compared to the bigger DB11, the AM6 Vantage is decided more athletic. This makes it more coherent as a vehicle, too. Nevertheless, some may find its front-end styling to be too busy.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Aston Martin Vantage Roadster comes with double-wishbone at the front and multi-link at the rear. Combined with RWD, this setup provides one of the best handling characteristics and tuning capabilities.

External Reviews

autocar[1]

Reviewer score 75% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autocar have found:
The Vantage Roadster is all you’d expect a drop-topped Vantage to be. An all-electric soft hood adds some 60kg to the Vantage’s kerb weight. There is the same 503bhp 4.0-litre V8, sourced from Mercedes-AMG.
Pros
  • Punchy, aggressive engine
  • Lots of fun to drive
Cons
  • Nothing in particular

autoexpress[2]

Reviewer score 86% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
The latest open-top Aston is also quick, capable and extremely desirable. It sounds rather lovely at full chat, too, and is arguably more fun to drive than its coupé relative, even if the chassis isn't just as crisp. Powered by the same 4.0-litre twin-turbo, AMG-sourced V8 as the coupé, it has 503bhp and 685Nm of torque.
Pros
  • Powerful V8
  • Powerful engine
  • Impressive handling
Cons
  • Not as fun to drive as the coupé
  • Not as fast as the V8
