Honing the ‘entry-level’ Aston produced spectacular results. Are they diminished in drop-top form?
Last year we were treated to a heavily revised Aston Martin Vantage, and now there’s an open-air version: the Roadster.This car has the potential to be really quite special. When we say the Vantage was heavily revised, we mean it. Compared to the previous model, power skyrocketed. The chassis also gained complex new electronics and suspension hardware, not to mention a far more serious contact patch. All this has now been translated to the Roadster – and with minimal dynamic compromise, according to the Aston. What we’ll now discover is whether that’s really the case, and whether the Roadster justifies its £180,000-plus asking price.
