We’re entering 2026 with a bang in our reviews.

Grasso’s Garage welcomes back Aston Martin with its brand-familiar Vantage Roadster, the two-seater dream machine packed with style, design and plenty of power. The Vantage Roadster boasts a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine producing 656 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. The eight-speed automatic transmission was smooth and crisp, while the five selective drive modes ensured fun for every driving style.

Priced at $200K+, the Vantage Roadster features attractive standard equipment, including a 10.25 inch touch-screen central display and a 10.25 inch driver display, 12-way heated seats, adaptive cruise control, wireless charging, 360-degree cameras, traction control, auto headlights and satellite radio. In addition to the standard equipment, over $110K in optional equipment is available, such as a Bowers & Wilkins audio system, black wing badges, carbon disc brakes with yellow calipers, ventilated front seats, satin paint, contrast stitching, carbon fiber and 21-inch Y-spoke forged wheels. Taking all of this and packing it into an two-door is not only rare to see, but it also makes for a car that you will love to drive.

Aston Martin deserves to be in your garage as well. This eye-catching convertible has plenty of power and delivers unique styling. Although the sticker price might put you in shock, you are getting one heck of an automobile and one that provides nice reliability. Aston Martin is a private company owned by a a bunch of investors, including Mercedes Benz and Geely, Volvo’s parent company. With this combination of influence, you can only imagine the machine they can design and build, and the Vantage is nothing short of excellence.
