Aston Martin Vantage Roadster (AM6) Convertible (2020)
Product Gallery
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.

Sentiment Score 75%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]
Sentiment Score 86%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
autoexpress[3]
Sentiment Score 72%Coupe model expected to retain around 54% of its original value after three years and 36,000 miles of ownership. Cabin design isn't quite as successful as the exterior, with a slightly blunt look that incorporates some conspicuous Mercedes-sourced parts. No official EuroNCAP safety rating for the Vantage Roadster, nor its coupe counterpart, so the car can't be directly compared with other models.

Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- Excellent infotainment system
- Good standard equipment
Cons
- No EuroNCAP safety rating
- Lack of rear seats
