Our take on this /// Verdict

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster Sportshift is a driving enthusiasts dream come true. With its 4.7-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine producing 430 horsepower and 361 pound-feet of torque, this roadster delivers exceptional performance and a thrilling driving experience. The Sportshift II seven-speed single-clutch automated gearbox, although sometimes clunky in D mode, comes into its own when switched to manual mode with the Sport button engaged, offering lightning-fast shifts and a more engaging drive. The vehicles handling is superb, with a stiff chassis and well-sorted suspension that makes it feel planted and responsive, even at high speeds. The cabin is a masterpiece of British craftsmanship, offering comfort and luxury. While it may not boast the highest horsepower in its segment, the V8 Vantage Roadster makes up for it with its character and the pure joy of driving it.

Price

In India, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster Sportshift is a luxury purchase that comes with a hefty price tag. The ex-showroom price for this model can range around 3.5 crore to 4 crore, depending on the specific trim and any customizations. Once you factor in taxes, registration, and other costs, the on-road price can easily exceed 4.5 crore. This makes it one of the more expensive sports cars available in the Indian market. However, for those who value exclusivity, performance, and the prestige of owning an Aston Martin, the price is well justified.

Latest Updates

Friday, 20 September 2024 06:46 AM The 2024 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster Sportshift has been praised for its significant design updates, including a 30mm wider body and a new front end with a massive grille. This redesign has improved the cars cohesive look and addressed previous styling issues. The new Matrix LED headlights and larger intakes also enhance the cars aesthetic appeal. I think the new design makes the Vantage look more aggressive and appealing.

Monday, 13 May 2024 10:03 AM Aston Martin has reworked the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine of the Vantage, resulting in a 30% increase in power to 665PS and a 15% increase in torque to 800Nm. This engine, though sourced from AMG, has been extensively tuned by Aston Martin engineers. The car now accelerates from 0-60mph in just 3.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 202mph. I believe this power boost makes the Vantage a formidable competitor in its class.

Monday, 13 May 2024 07:21 AM The new Vantage features advanced technology, including a new six-axis inertial measurement unit and Adjustable Traction Control (ATC). The ATC allows drivers to adjust the level of traction control intervention, making the car more engaging and customizable for different driving conditions. This feature is particularly notable in Track mode, where it enhances the cars handling and driver engagement.

Monday, 12 February 2024 12:05 PM Aston Martin has improved the handling of the Vantage by altering the chassis structure, including moving the front cross member further back and strengthening the rear axle by 29%. The car also features new Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers and an Electronic Rear Differential (E-Diff), which enhance stability and agility. These changes make the Vantage more precise and enjoyable to drive.

Mileage

Friday, 22 November 2024 05:29 AM When it comes to mileage, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster Sportshift is not designed for economy. With a 73-liter fuel tank, you can expect an average mileage of around 6-8 kilometers per liter when driven moderately, which drops to about 3-4 kilometers per liter when driven aggressively. This is typical for a high-performance sports car, and owners should be prepared for higher fuel costs. However, for those who prioritize performance and the driving experience over fuel efficiency, this is a minor trade-off.
