What changed for 2026
Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says 2026 sees the debut of the Vantage roadster. Aston says the roof's "Z-fold" configuration is both faster and lighter than a traditional roof, requiring just 6.8 seconds to fully open or close, making it the fastest fully automatic deployable roof mechanism on the market today. It can be operated at speeds up to 31 mph and incorporates eight levels of insulation to keep interior noise levels comparable to the coupe's. A higher-performance Vantage S coupe also joins the lineup this year, and it comes with a 670-hp version of the car's twin-turbocharged V-8 engine and other go-fast enhancements.

Record summary
What to know first
The Vantage is sold as a single configuration with a hand-built 656-horsepower twin-turbo V8: customization is through options, not a trim ladder.
Model-year note
There is no separate trim ladder on the Vantage; personalization is through Aston Martin's Q System instead of named trims.
