This is Aston Martin’s most extreme roadster ever and the one-off vantage GT12 Roadster. A tailor made customer commission undertaken by Q by Aston Martin, the Vantage GT12 Roadster draws its origins from the Vantage GT12 Coupe (the most visible differences are the significant number of new carbon-fibre body panels), with a special 600 PS version of the brand’s 6.0-litre normally aspirated V12 engine mated to a seven-speed Sportshift IIItm paddle-shift transmission.
Technical highlights include magnesium inlet manifolds with revised geometry, a lightweight magnesium torque tube and a full titanium exhaust system.
The Vantage GT12 Roadster is a significant landmark, for it is the first time a customers-commissioned Aston Martin’s design and engineering capabilities as part of the Q by Aston Martin bespoke Tailor-mode service.
