The V12 Vantage received high praise from Jeremy Clarkson himself, expressing sheer enthusiasm in one of Top Gear's most emotive motoring videos back in 2009. Since then, the V12 Vantage has held the title of the most overtly sporting Aston, blending the potency of the most powerful V12 engine within the confines of the smallest, lightest body.

It would have been unwise to assume that Aston Martin wouldn't follow up the formidable V12 Vantage S with a Roadster variant. Aston Martin Lagonda unveiled what was the most powerful roadster in the company's history at the time - the V12 Vantage S Roadster. Claimed to be the first Aston Martin convertible capable of surpassing 200 mph, this roadster is equipped with the latest 565bhp Aston Martin AM28 spec 6.0-litre V12 engine, featuring state-of-the-art Bosch engine management. The car can achieve a top speed of 201 mph and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds.

Similar to its coupe counterpart introduced in 2013, the roadster comes as standard with the latest generation 7-speed Sportshift III hydraulically actuated, automated manual transmission. This transmission ensures motorsport-style paddle shift changes for optimal performance delivery.

The vehicle's dynamic character can be precisely tailored by the driver through the use of three-stage adaptive damping, combined with three-stage DSC and two-stage ABS. The 'Normal,' 'Sport,' and 'Track' modes offer a wide range of dynamic performance adjustments to suit the driver's preferences, and the system also controls the level of power steering assistance.

For exceptional braking performance, the V12 Vantage S Roadster features specially-created carbon ceramic discs on all wheels, similar to those used on the second-generation Vanquish. Additionally, it boasts a new lightweight exhaust system derived from Aston Martin's exclusive One-77 model, providing an impressive soundtrack, especially with the roof down.

This specific 2015 V12 Vantage S, finished in Jet Black over Obsidian Black hides, comes with an extensive list of optional extras worth over £10,000. These include a Reversing Camera, Aston Martin 700w Premium Audio, Heated Seats with Embroidered Aston Martin Wings, Black Meshes, Matte Black Window Surround Finisher, Front Parking Sensors, Matte Black Tailpipe Finisher, Q - Gloss Twill Carbon Fibre Louvred Side Gill, Wind Deflector, and Lightweight Satin Black wheels.

Benefitting from low ownership and low mileage, this example has been meticulously maintained at Aston Martin main agents throughout its life. Protected with Paint Protection Film, this V12 Vantage S presents in excellent condition throughout as you would expect.

More than just a car, it signifies a statement—a celebration of power, style, and the sheer joy of driving. With low production numbers, it stands as a symbol of exclusivity, appealing to those who enjoy the thrill of the open road wrapped in the sophistication only an Aston Martin can deliver. In a world increasingly dominated by technology, this car pays homage to the purist's love for driving—a modern-day icon.

This exceptional vehicle is available now for viewing and demonstration at our Hertfordshire showrooms.
