Q by Aston Martin has been relatively quiet as of late, but Aston’s bespoke arm recently received a request from a customer to create a one-off model that really should be a production rig. I introduce to you, the Vantage GT12 Roadster.

As its name implies, this rig is inspired by the Vantage GT12 Coupe but with one key change—the convertible top. The GT12’s influence is clear in this bespoke V12 Vantage Roadster as it features a slew of the same carbon-fiber additions to the body, like the rear air inlets, the side sills, the rear diffuser, and the front fenders with extractors. Up front, there is also an aggressive splitter, but this is one area that the customer decided to stray away from the GT12.

Under its skin, this GT12 Roadster has the same 6.0-liter V-12 powertrain as the vehicle that inspired it, giving it a full 600 PS (591 horsepower), which is a 26-horsepower boost over the standard Vantage V12 Roadster. This powerplant pairs with Aston’s seven-speed Sportshift III paddle-shift transmission. In addition to the power tweaks, this powertrain includes magnesium inlet manifolds, revised geometry, a magnesium driveshaft, and a titanium exhaust system.

To make this roadster handle like its race-inspired coupe sibling, Aston Martin’s engineers revised the suspension to match that of the limited-run GT12 Coupe.

As with all models that Q by Aston Martin builds for its clients, the price tag remains unknown. I think it is safe to say the lucky owner of this vehicle dropped at least another $100,000 creating this awesome-looking convertible.
