Aston Martin has unveiled one of the most eagerly anticipated convertibles of the year when the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster was revealed at the 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show on Wednesday 29th November, 2006.
Aston Martin Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr Ulrich Bez said: “The Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster is a pure sports car, a car that heightens the senses and provides a dynamically thrilling driving experience.
“The Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster adds to the unbeatable thrill of open air motoring and by combining engineering excellence, technological innovation and physical perfection, will ensure every journey is one to remember.”
Perfectly proportioned, with a low purposeful stance, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster is uncompromisingly modern yet also incorporates classic Aston Martin design cues. The elegant lines are fused with traditional craftsmanship and striking 21st century style, with an interior hand-trimmed and finished in the finest quality genuine materials.
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster will be built at Aston Martin’s global headquarters at Gaydon, near Warwickshire in the UK, joining the current Aston Martin line-up. This now comprises the flagship Aston Martin Vanquish S, the elegant Aston Martin DB9 and the agile Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe.
