Aston Martin V8 Vantage N400 Roadster arrives
Like its closed coupe brother, the N400 Roadster features an upgraded version of the Vantage V8's 4.3L engine producing 400 HP and 309 lb-ft of torque. That's a full 20 horsepower more than what's included in a standard Vantage V8 thanks to a thorough overhaul of the engine's internal components and the addition of a freer flowing exhaust and air intake. Other N400 enhancements include a Sport Pack that dials down the suspension for sharper handling, as well as new side sills, trunk lid, clear rear lamp lenses, mesh for the side strakes and a "bright finish grille". It's being reported that Aston Martin will only build 240 actual examples of the car, so get in line early.

Power in the 4.3-liter V-8 in the N400 is now 400 bhp, and the limited-edition model benefits from a sport pack that includes lighter-weight, graphite-finished alloy wheels and stiffer springs, revised shocks and a new anti-roll bar. The improvements to the V8 Vantage N400 enable the car to break the vaunted 8-minute lap time on the Nürburgring famed North Loop. Inside, the cabin features perforated black leather seats, aluminum trim and a numbered plaque signifying its limited-build status. Available in either coupe or roadster versions, the N400 also offers a choice of a Sportshift automated manual or a traditional six speed manual transmission.
