Aston Roadster: the lowdown
Here are the best spyshots yet of Aston Martin's soft-top version of the V8 Vantage. The two-seater, to be unveiled at the Los Angeles auto show at the end of November, is set to be called Roadster, rather than adopt the Volante name typical of soft-top Astons. Power comes from the 380bhp 4.2-litre V8 used in the coupe. Expect a price around £90,000, with deliveries due in spring 2007.
What's new?
There's more to the Roadster than a simple tin opener-job on the coupe. While convertibles are typically spun off saloon bodies, the V8 Vantage is a hatchback, so Aston's designers have had to create a new rear end. It's a handsome rump, flowing into a lip spoiler just like the coupe's. The powered, fabric roof stows to reveal those twin buttresses, and a wind deflector folds up to soothe turbulence.
