The current Aston Martin Vantage was launched in 2018, replacing the previous-generation model that had been in production for 12 years. Although it’s unlikely that the British automaker will wait that long to introduce a successor to the current Vantage, the model still has several more years on the market. This means that a mid-cycle refresh is necessary to keep the sports car competitive. Recent spy photos reveal the Vantage Roadster, the open-top version of the vehicle.

Spotted near Aston Martin’s test center at the Nürburgring, this test vehicle is covered in camouflage foil that conceals the entire body. However, the automaker has used a fluorescent green wrap for marketing purposes, displaying the phrase “Thrill. Driven.” Beneath the camouflage, notable changes can be seen, such as a wider grille and completely new sweptback headlights. Additionally, there’s a prominent front spoiler lip and new hood vents that have been repositioned closer to the center.
