Spied! Aston�s V8 Roadster

http://news.windingroad.com/

Aston Martin�s been on something of a roll lately, thanks in large measure to its gorgeous styling language, burgeoning lineup, and renascent performance reputation. Judging by these new spy shots of the coming V8 Roadster, the company�s streak is set to continue.

Expected to make its debut within the next six months, the charismatic droptop with the ordinary name will make use of Aston�s 32-valve 4.3-liter V-8. The latter is believed to make the same 380 horsepower that it does in the fixed-head coupe. We believe the cabriolet will be a mote porkier than its tin-top cousin, so performance could slip modestly from the coupe�s 0-60 mph time of 4.9 seconds and top speed of 175 mph.

The undisguised prototype above (caught by Brenda Priddy�s people frolicking outside the N�rburgring) clearly shows Aston doggedly sticking with soft top mechanisms, despite a market that�s trending toward folding hardtops. The omission could be due to any number of factors, including cost, complexity, weight, packaging and/or perceived lack of demand.

Either way, even with its soft top up, few would question that the V8 Roadster manages to look sensational.
