The side profile is an elegant, simple sweep, creating a curved line rather like a bow under tension, while the rear haunches are wide and muscular, like those of a powerful animal. The fabric hood closely follows the line of the coupé when closed; when folded, the flow from front to rear is unbroken and supremely elegant. The hood stows neatly beneath the rear tonneau cover, deploying in just 18 seconds, and at speeds of up to 50 km/h (30 mph). When raised, the hood complements perfectly the curvaceous bodywork. 50 DESIGN From the moment you first sit in the Vantage Expert craftsmen can perform the Roadster, you connect with it.

The brief was to create an elegant, sporting watch that could offer the wearer two modes within one simple package: open faced, showing a carefully crafted dial, or closed and protected to shield the movement and crystal from possible damage. The sport for which the watch was required was polo – arduous, energetic and dangerous, but also an environment in which a well-tooled precision wristwatch is very useful.

The Vantage Roadster shares an essential characteristic with the Reverso watch. It is a car of two characters: open and visible, or closed and protective. The fully-lined fabric hood envelops the two-seater cockpit, providing unrivalled comfort and insulation from the outside world. Yet with the top down – in a matter of seconds – the character of the car is transformed. Like all Aston Martins, the Vantage Roadster is equally at home on the road or the track; it was developed on a racing circuit, but makes a refined and relaxed long-distance tourer.

The production version of the V8 Vantage was unveiled at the 2005 Geneva International Motor Show, joining the flagship Vanquish S and the DB9 models to complete Aston Martin’s line-up. The Vantage Roadster offers the unique attributes of the sporting Vantage Coupé within a flexible package. It is a true driver’s car that offers open-top motoring without compromising its excellent dynamics, performance and usability.
