Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster - 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show



Damn that thing looks sexy! Mr Bond, I insist, this is the perfect vehicle for you. Ok, it may lack the German perfectionism of your previous BMW�s but its British um, well not exactly but it�s made in the UK, and it does hide a 380 Hp V8 under its orgasmically styled front end. That�s good enough to take you from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,0 sec and if your in a hurry for your afternoon tea, you can take it up to 280 km/h, though I highly doubt that you�ll make it over 140 km/h without being caught by the boys in blue.

Even in that case though, I believe you can seduce them by opening the top with the press of a button located on the centre console revealing the elegantly styled interior. Mind you, it�ll only take a mere 18 seconds.

Interested? Well, although deliveries of the V8 Vantage Roadster are expected to commence during quarter two 2007, with prices to be confirmed at a later date, you can get a first view of the car at the 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show on Wednesday 29th November.
