Drop-top Aston V8 Vantage comes on sale in 2007

Posted in Scoop by admin on the August 31st, 2005

At the Detroit Motor Show two years ago, the legendary Aston Martin’s new V8 Vantage concept car created quite a stir.

The V8 Vantage Volante will be a convertible version of the new Vantage coupe launched earlier this year at the Geneva auto show.

Aston Martin drop-tops have always taken the Volante name, but the V8 Vantage will break from tradition. The company says that while ‘Volante’ conjures up the image of a gentleman’s GT car, the V8 Vantage roadster will be an out-and-out sports car.

A roadster version of Aston Martin’s stunning new V8 Vantage will reach showrooms in early 2007.

The drop-top incarnation of Aston’s new sports car will first be shown to the public in late 2006 before going on sale a few months later.
