2021 Aston Martin Vantage Roadster is a hot-rod drop-top

The 2021 Vantage Roadster offers the driving dynamics of the Vantage with the thrill of an open top.

The engineers in Gaydon have worked hard to stiffen the body post-roof-removal without adding lots of weight.

The Vantage still uses the lovely AMG 4.0-liter V8 and without a roof, it'll likely sound even better.

The suspension and electronic system get retuned for convertible duty, which is a nice touch.

The Vantage Roadster will retail for $161,000 and end up in US dealers in Q3 2020.
