Aston Martin has unveiled 2015 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S Roadster, which as its name suggests, is powered by a 6.0L V12 engine with 565 horsepower and 457 lb-ft. of torque. Aston Martin says that the V12 Vantage S Roadster is its fastest roadster yet with a 0-60 mph time of 3.9 seconds and a 201 mph top speed.
The V12 Vantage S Roadster is the follow up to the V12 Vantage S Coupe that arrived in 2013. The V12 engine is mated to a Sportshift III 7-speed transmission, which replaces the six-speed transmission from the last 510-hp V12 Vantage Roadster. It also gets the V12 Vantage Coupe’s suspension with three-stage settings (Normal, Track and Sport). A two-stage anti-lock braking system and three-stage dynamic stability control system help keep everything under control.

On the outside, the Roadster gets a new front grille that is trimmed in carbon fiber with black or titanium silver mesh. The grille is inspired by the CC100 Speedster Concept. The V12 Vantage S Roadster also rides on unique 10-spoke alloy wheels. Inside the changes are minimal with a new carbon fiber package that adds carbon fiber trim, carbon fiber door handles and black alloy pedals.
