ENGINE
A PEAK OF POWER
Like the Coupe before it, the Roadster marks the most emphatic leap in power – and most elevated jump in emotion – in over 70 years of the Vantage bloodline. At its heart, a boldly reworked, hand-built 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. Meticulously engineered. Producing a peak of 665PS and a colossal 800Nm of torque. A driving experience, heightened.
TWIN-TURBO. SINGLE-MINDED
The fastest Roadster in the nameplate’s history. From the silence of standstill to 62mph in 3.6 seconds. Modified cam profiles, carefully optimized compression ratio and larger twin turbos produce staggering performance throughout the entire rev range. Ascending to a top speed breaching 200mph.
ALL ALUMINUM. ALL POWER
Under the contoured bonnet crouches the V8. Cast in pure aluminum. 32 valves with a closed-deck block that multiplies strength and rigidity. Eviscerating unnecessary weight. Hot ‘V’ configuration provides a compact engine package utilizing close-coupled, high-flow, twin-scroll turbos. Crowned with zirconium alloy cylinder heads. Surging with power. Spinning to a spine-tingling 7,600rpm.
QUINTESSENTIAL COOLING
Roadster’s soaring uplift in power and torque also increases thermal load, demanding a comprehensive cooling system to match. Tripling the number of radiators and adding two auxiliary coolers on the centre-mounted radiator. A 56% increase in thermal apertures. Air is fed in through the larger air-gulping recontoured grille. A splitter feeding enhanced airflow into more capacious front apertures. Without impacting on aerodynamic balance or downforce.
VISUALLY STUNNING. AURALLY THRILLING
A distinctive V8 soundtrack to be recognized and relished with the roof down. From the sonorous howl under acceleration to the smooth rumble when cruising. A powerful pitch, altered by an index finger, touching a machined-metal rotary dial to select a choice of five different drive modes and exhaust settings from an all-new center console. Let the quad-exhaust sound character kick in. Distinct. Raw. Full-bodied.
