Design

The design team at Aston Martin has surpassed itself with the V8 Vantage S Roadster – this is a modern sports car that's perfect for the car aficionado looking for a simple and graceful two-seater. This image carries through from the signature Aston Martin exterior to the double-stitched black leather cabin. White contrast stitching ties in perfectly with the pale detailing on the switches, which in turn complement dials picked out in silver.

Safety

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Roadster is a highly desirable car, so it makes sense that it comes with automatic locking retractors and engine immobiliser as standard. A built-in tracking system comes as an optional extra, meaning your vehicle is traceable if it's ever stolen. Safety on the road is made uncomplicated thanks to the rear electronic parking aid with ultrasonic sensors, concealed safety roll bar, multiple airbags and front side airbags – all of which are fitted as standard.

Technology

The Vantage S Roadster delivers an extra 10bhp in comparison to its non-S counterpart, giving a total of 430bhp. What's more, everything from the handling to the acceleration and overall performance retains the air of desirability and quiet confidence that's shared by all Aston Martins. The 4.7-litre engine delivers 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds, even as the speedometer registers top speeds of up to 189mph. The quicker steering rack, firmer suspension and wider tyres mean it's easy to keep this car under control.
