Aston Martin’s rooflines are some of the hottest numbers in car couture—they’re low cut, tight fitting, and steaming with sex appeal. Cutting off one is like shearing the blond locks off a Barbie doll. Alas, the lovely V-8 Vantage goes headless with the new Vantage roadster, on sale now and priced for the still-working rich at $126,400.
I agree, this is one sexy machine and I will let down my long locks to blow in the breeze while in this beauty. I believe I have a pair of red stiletto heels that would go fabulous with this car. You may ask by taking of the top did Aston preserved the much applauded handling, yes, by add additional bracing. This added weight to the overall package, Wow! this lady wears her additional weight very nicely. The major change is to the longitudinal box sections at the cockpit’s perimeter. They are extruded with thicker walls and extra webbing inside. To fight steering-column shiver, gussets on the door posts tie them more securely to the fire wall, and a thicker brace stretches from the fire wall to the prop-shaft tunnel, a fix that so pleased Aston it’s being added to the coupe.
