Aston Martin took its already limited Vantage GT12 coupe to the next level by converting it into a special bespoke commission for the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Called the Vantage GT12 Roadster, this extremely desirable vehicle contains not only a completely revised performance but a revised style as well.

Handled by the company’s in-house bespoke customisation department, ‘Q by Aston Martin’, this drop-top iteration was made possible by reworking the suspension, adding magnesium inlet manifolds, a magnesium torque tube as well as a titanium exhaust system for superior engine breathing and also to shed weight.

“The Vantage GT12 Roadster is a hugely exciting project. Not just because it’s sensational to look at, but because it vividly demonstrates the expanded capabilities of Q by Aston Martin,” commented Dr. Andy Palmer, the CEO of Aston Martin.

“In just nine months we took a customer’s dream and realized it, with a fully-formed, exactingly engineered and fully road-legal one-off. That is the essence of the Q by Aston Martin service” added David King, Vice President and Chief Special Operations Officer.

With this project complete, Aston Martin puts forward a good case for their capabilities to fit in with a customer’s unique luxury vehicle requirements. You can expect more specifically tailored designs to start appearing out on the open road soon enough.
