The 2021 Aston Martin Vantage Roadster is the convertible version of the Vantage, offering open-top driving without compromising on performance. Here's a detailed look at its convertible features:
Convertible Roof
Soft-Top Fabric Roof: The Vantage Roadster features a fabric soft-top roof that is designed for both style and functionality.
Opening/Closing Time: The roof can be lowered in 6.7 seconds and raised in 6.8 seconds, making it one of the fastest convertible mechanisms on the market.
Operable at Speed: The roof can be operated while driving at speeds of up to 31 mph (50 km/h), adding convenience for drivers who want to quickly transition between open-top and closed-top driving.
Compact Roof Design: When retracted, the roof folds into a compact Z-shape, which helps maintain the Vantage's sleek lines and maximizes trunk space.
Performance with the Convertible
Weight Difference: The Roadster weighs slightly more than the coupe due to the additional mechanisms for the convertible top, but it retains an impressive 0-60 mph time of 3.7 seconds.
Chassis and Rigidity: Aston Martin has reinforced the chassis to maintain rigidity, ensuring that the Vantage Roadster handles just as well as the coupe version, even with the top down.
Driving Experience
Open-Air Thrill: The V8 engine's throaty exhaust note is even more exhilarating with the top down, enhancing the sensory experience for the driver.
Wind Deflector: A deployable wind deflector helps minimize turbulence inside the cabin when driving with the roof down, offering a more comfortable ride at higher speeds.
The 2021 Aston Martin Vantage Roadster offers the thrill of convertible driving with a focus on speed, agility, and luxury, making it a standout option for those looking for open-top excitement without compromising performance.
