If you ever wanted to go 200 mph in a convertible, the V12 Vantage Roadster might be right for you.

, the 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 pumps out 690 hp and 555 lb-ft of torque through the rear wheels. All that power is fed through an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission and a mechanical limited-slip differential.

This allows the roadster to run a 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds. Other performance enhancements include a dampened suspension architecture partially shared with its hardtop sibling and standard six-piston front, and four-piston rear carbon-ceramic brakes. Spring rates have been increased 50% front and 40% rear while the anti-roll bar stiffness has been reduced 41% in the rear and increased 5% up front.These days, performance software can be as important as mechanical hardware.

The Vantage Roadster's design goes beyond just removing the roof. Bigger is better seems to be the motto of Aston Martin's engineers for the convertible version, but these proportional additions weren't done for aesthetics. The track in the roadster chassis is actually 1.6 inches wider than its coupe counterpart, in turn making a new wide-body design necessary.

. Combined with a 51.4/48.6 weight distribution front and rear, the new Vantage should retain its performance reputation, despite losing its roof.
