Additionally, it appears that the interior is in need of a significant upgrade.
Aston Martin is set to release eight new cars in the next 24 months, making it a very busy time for the British manufacturer. However, the company is also working to improve its current lineup, as these new spy photos of a new Vantage Roadster show.
Even though there isn't much of a difference, we can see that the Vantage Roadster has a new, taller grille than the one that's currently on the car. However, despite the fact that Aston could be concealing its true width with the camo wrap, the grille does not appear to be as broad as it once was. It additionally looks like the headlights, hood, and front guard have been restyled; the headlights appear to be more vertical than the current horizontal slits, and the hood itself has two vents.
We can see smaller rearview mirrors further back, which may have a role in improved aerodynamics. The updated Vantage Roadster has a familiar lighting strip and an elaborate bumper/diffuser treatment lower down, making its changes from the back harder to see. Even though the quad tailpipes on this prototype clearly have an incomplete finish, they are still present.
While no inside pictures were caught, we can see that endeavors were made to cover the scramble, persuading us to think that there are changes inside too. Since the Vantage's in-cabin technology is behind the best and some of its materials are disappointing for the price, that shouldn't come as a surprise.
The Mercedes COMAND-based interface that the 2023 Vantage Roadster still employs is hopelessly out of date, as we discovered while driving it recently. Apple CarPlay doesn't work as well as it does in the new DBX, and the small screen is hard to see in the sun. We had no bad things to say about our test vehicle's 4.0-liter AMG-obtained V8, however, with this 503-drive plant inspiring a forceful thunder. The car's communicative steering also pleased us.
We have no idea how the V12 Vantage Roadster might feel to drive because there were only 249 of them made available, and all of them were sold before the car was even released.
It's not known whether the facelifted Vantage Roadster will get motor or suspension refreshes; however, we trust it gets a refreshed infotainment framework, as this by itself will make an entirely beneficial drop-top stunningly better.
