Storming V12 mootori on rõõm, kuid lisab vähe auto, mis on nii hea standard V8 formUnusually Aston, eriti üks 12-silindrilise mootoriga, V12 Roadster tunne see saabus kontoris vähe alla wire. Kõige tõenäolisem see on, sest see avastati suvel kell umbes samal ajal kui uute Vanquish, ja on seega jäänud selle varju. Sellest hoolimata theres kahtlemata väärib vähemalt sama palju tähelepanu kui suurem vend. Ühendades Vantages droptop toredus tootjad lipulaev 510bhp 6. 0-liitrine mootor on nagu brandy jalgapanek omatehtud jõulud pudding. Ja siis valgustus see oxyacetylene tõrvik. Nagu ta on juba teinud oma debüüdi coupe, mitte liiga palju mitmetunnist nõutakse pigistada neli rohkem balloone kui Roadster. Aston on ümberkujundatud tagapakiruum kaane vähendada lifti ja läbi mõelda alumine front õhu sisse, kuid muidu on sama palju kui tema vend V8. Teisisõnu, see on väga ilus auto. All, šassii saada suurem jõuseadmete tegelema näpistama. Uue tagumise Kevad design on õhuveotoodetega muundatud siiber seadistamise huvides ära V12 Vantages Hirveä lineaarne kiirus. Muud kõige sisukama täiendus on hind: mudel algab 150,000. Thats tervislik viis-joonis summa rohkem kui 430bhp S versioon V8. Storming V12 engine is a delight, but adds little to a car that is so good in standard V8 formUnusually for an Aston, especially one with a 12-cylinder engine, the V12 Roadster feels like it arrived in the office a little under the wire. Most likely this is because it was revealed in the summer at about the same time as the new Vanquish, and has consequently remained in its shadow. Nevertheless, theres no doubt it deserves at least as much attention as its bigger brother. Combining the Vantages droptop magnificence with the manufacturers flagship 510bhp 6. 0-litre motor is like putting brandy on the homemade Christmas pudding. And then lighting it with an oxyacetylene torch. As it has already made its debut in the coupe, not too much wrangling is required to squeeze four more cylinders into the Roadster. Aston has redesigned the rear boot lid to reduce lift and rethought the lower front air intake, but otherwise it is much the same as its V8 sibling. In other words, this is an extremely handsome car. Underneath, the chassis does get a tweak to deal with the bigger powerplant. A new rear spring design has been incorporated alongside a modified damper setup in the interests of exploiting the V12 Vantages fearsome straight-line speed. The other most meaningful addition is to the price tag: the model starts at 150,000. Thats a healthy five-figure sum more than the 430bhp S version of the V8.
