Specs

The 2026 Vantage Roadster takes open-air driving to exhilarating new heights, delivering raw power and precision as the most potent front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car in its class.

Paired with an eight-speed paddle-shift transmission and an electronically controlled limited-slip differential, this powerhouse rockets from 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, with a breathtaking top speed of 202 mph.

And the best part? With the retractable roof down, you’re fully immersed in the symphony of the V8’s thunderous roar as it escapes through the tailpipes. This isn’t just performance—it’s pure, unfiltered driving pleasure that makes every journey unforgettable.

Interior

The heart of the 2026 Aston Martin Vantage Roadster is all about creating an unforgettable open-top driving experience. Clean, flowing lines, sleek air vents, and a cabin that’s both bold and elegant come together under a sky that’s always changing. It all begins with the press of a starter button on the innovative center console, inviting you into a world of tactile engagement. A metal rotary dial lets you seamlessly switch between five distinct drive modes, while detailed controls are just a tap away on the touchscreen.

The cockpit? A revolutionary redesign. Horizontal surfaces echo horizon lines, syncing the driver with the environment while wrapped in the luxury of hand-stitched Bridge of Weir® leather. It’s a space that feels crafted just for you.

And when it comes to technology, this Roadster is a game-changer. A next-generation infotainment system features a stunning 10.25” Pure Black touchscreen with multi-finger gesture control, blending the simplicity of touch with the precision of physical switches. From gear and drive selection to heating and ventilation, every detail is designed to keep you effortlessly connected while staying focused on the road ahead.

Open-air thrills

The 2026 Aston Martin Vantage Roadster’s roof is pure innovation in motion. Designed in a sleek ‘Z-fold’ configuration, it’s faster and lighter and eliminates the need for a tonneau cover, saving weight and lowering the car’s center of gravity. You can open or close the roof at speeds of up to 31 mph, with the entire operation taking just 6.8 seconds—making it the fastest fully automatic roof mechanism on the market today.

And here’s the fun part: you can fold or unfold the roof while seated inside or remotely via the key, as long as you’re within two meters of the car. Lightweight, lightning-fast, and incredibly refined, this roof is as much about performance as it is about luxury. It’s top-down driving, perfected.
