Aston Martin Debuts New Vantage Roadster

The Aston Martin Vantage Roadster falls firmly into the fun category. For those who believe that driving is an experience, not a chore, Aston Martin has unveiled its most potent, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive roadster yet.

But not here. Aston Martin engineered the Vantage Roadster ...
