2013 Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster - white - front three-quarter view

Here it is in all of its open air glory: The 2013 Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster.

Aston Martin has just released official photos and specs for its all-new roadster that will have limited availability around the world. It is powered by Aston's 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine that cranks out 510-horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. The English firm promises a 0-to-62 mph time of 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 190 mph.

Compared to the V12 Vantage Coupe, the roadster has a redesigned rear decklid, which includes a new "flip" to provide high-speed stability and lower front intakes. It also arrives with chassis changes and a modified damper setup with unique valves and redesigned rear springs. Oh, and it's a convertible.

Aston uses carbon fiber all around the body and will offer an optional interior package with additional carbon fiber pieces.

The roadster comes with a starting price of ₤150,000 - that's $233,340 to you, Yankee. Scroll down to view the press release.
