Performance
The focal starting point of every supercar is how it performs on the road. When you rent this Aston Martin, you will have to take a step back by how exciting you will find the car. The performance qualities are stellar: no other supercar knows how to mix a maximum power of 420 BHP at 7,300 RPM with an acceleration speed of 0-60mph in only 4.7 seconds. Fans of fast cars will be impressed by the Aston Martin’s ability to soar to 180 mph as its maximum speed. These sharp traits highlight why this Aston Martin is an excellent choice for self drive hire especially on the weekends. The weekends are when you can truly let go and be lost in the magic of the high-octane performance abilities of the V8 Roadster N420. Aston Martin fans who know the mechanics of how torque works will love the alloy torque tube which is part of this car. This alloy torque tube is fitted with a carbon fibre propeller shaft to give added support to the distribution of torque during car rides. This feature is another example of how Aston Martin’s performance continues to succeed due to the marque’s attention to detail.
Engine
The heart of all performance abilities in any car lies in the engine. This technologically-superior V8 offering from Aston Martin is the product of a masterclass in what features an engine should have to be brilliant. Drivers will be operating this car thanks to the fully catalysed stainless steel exhaust system which also has active bypass valves. The fact that it is made in stainless steel is indicative of Aston Martin’s focus on creating value. This is exactly the type of value you will experience during self drive hire. The engine of this Aston Martin prestige car also is positioned in the front, as a mid-mounted engine. It also has rear wheel drive. With a compression ratio of 11.3:1, this engine is a spectacular example of why Aston Martin dominates the supercar engine world. Discover the motoring delights of driving the V8 Roadster courtesy of this powerful slice of engineering excellence.
Transmission
If the engine is the heart of the Aston Martin, the transmission is the flavour of the car. A six-speed manual transmission peppers this supercar with a fierce yet firm driving capability. Manual transmission supercars tend to give drivers that extra sheen of power, whether you are on the motorway or zipping through a tiny lane. Experience this rear mid-mounted transmission during a self drive hire journey or choose this manual transmission Roadster to whizz around the city during Aston Martin corporate hire.
Braking System
Safety is a top priority at Aston Martin. That is why this Roadster is adorned with top braking features such as front ventilated and grooved discs, which work in tandem with the four-piston callipers. Use the traction control feature when you want to control how the car moves. Take advantage of the anti-lock braking system, as well as the electronic brakeforce distribution control during self drive hire sessions for the ultimate sense of security.
Exterior
The body of the Aston Martin Roadster is sleek and defined. This is illuminated by the glowing two-door coupe frame of the car. The beauty of the body does not stop there: when you pick up this Aston Martin for self drive hire, keep your eyes open for the side strakes, rear diffuser and front splitter which are all made from carbon fibre. Carbon fibre is groundbreaking material that marques such as Aston Martin use to create lightweight car bodies which feel like they are almost flying through the wind during car journeys. Sky is the limit with the light carbon fibre body of the Aston Martin Roadster. Drivers with a penchant for smooth automotive style that harks back to the era of racers such as Jackie Stewart will not be disappointed with the bonnet of the car. Shaded in a glossy black tone, the bonnet of the Aston Martin is accentuated with side strake meshes which add to the cool factor of this car. The body alone of this car highlights how fluid the supercar is: exactly the type of car you can take with you on self drive hire for the weekend or the supercar to come to work in. Light is an important theme of the body of the Aston Martin. Clear rear lamps are part of the Aston Martin Roadster, giving the car an incandescent look from afar and up close.
Interior
Revel in the magic of supercar interiors when you step inside the Aston Martin Roadster. Like many cars in its league, this Aston Martin features a leather upholstered interior. However, this is not your average leather car. The leather in this Aston Martin is full grain: this indicates that it is rich, thick and soft because you will be able to see how detailed the grain pattern is. The leather upholstery is draped in obsidian black: obsidian is actually a mineral glass that comes from volcanic sources, and it has a glossy appearance yet it looks completely dense with the richness of the colour. The obsidian black leather upholstery mimics the richness of obsidian glass making the interior of the Aston Martin timeless. Whenever you decide to rent the Aston Martin, the classic look of this glossy black interior will always be in style.
Aston Martin pursues its passion for lightweight cars by adding Alcantara leather seats into this Special Edition N420 supercar. Alcantara is a hot favourite among supercar makers because it is fabric which is soft, light yet extremely durable offering you and any companion a comfortable drive.
Motoring fans know that the fascia is a central part of what makes the interior of a supercar beautiful. Aston Martin is aware of this, which is why the fascia of the Roadster is a testament to their design capabilities. The double apex alloy trim contoured the fascia to give it a regal and classic appearance. This Roadster’s fascia will appeal to traditionalists because it shows Aston Martin’s focus on inner beauty as well as performance. The next time you are considering a birthday gift for a classic driver, we recommend choose the Aston Martin Roadster N420.
Mirrors
Windows and mirrors are an important part of the equation of the Aston Martin’s interior. When you look into a mirror and when you look outside a window, you are looking into a reflection of the world. It is a beautiful way to examine how life goes on through the lenses of Aston Martin’s Roadster. The automatic-dimming rear-view mirror is a fantastic example of how Aston Martin is marrying functionality and style to create mirrors that look like centre-pieces. You can use the automatic rear-view mirror when you are reversing or when you are parking back into a garage or driveway. The windows of the Aston Martin are excellent in aiding the driver’s capability to see what is happening on the left and right hand side of his or hers environment, and they give passengers a 360 degree outlook during car journeys. If you love this visual approach to the interior of a car, choose the Aston Martin for a colourful way to enjoy your weekend.
Driving features
This Aston Martin prestige car has taken cues from aviation and integrated them into the cabin of the car to give drivers something extra during self drive hire excursions. The sensors in the interior will make you feel like you are the top pilot of your own personal plane. These sensors, which include the front and rear parking sensors, are excellent to use when you need a little help to park. From the sensors and direction systems that are available in planes to the parking sensors in this Aston Martin, the interior of this car does not feel like your average car. It is sculpted with an aviation-style focus to make driving experiences as fluid as jet plane journeys.
Steering wheels are one of the trusty features of a supercar that can sometimes be overshadowed. However, Aston Martin takes a different approach to steering wheels. The British brand is aware of how important the image and practical use of the steering wheel is to the personality of the car. This is why the steering wheel of this Aston Martin Roadster sparkles with style. This sports steering wheel is draped in leather, which gives it a retro and vintage feel as you turn it during self drive hire. The rack and pinion movement system is accentuated by power-steering: from a turn in the road to parallel parking, the steering wheel of the Aston Martin will execute with efficiency and poise for drivers. The column tilt and reach adjustment also means you can personalise their usage of this steering wheel during you self drive hire.
From the cabin of this Aston Martin, you can activate the cruise control feature when you feel like gliding on the road. There are going to be times when you want to drive without pressure all around you: whether you are finishing your weekend with the Aston Martin or you are starting a new day at work, journey with finesse by using the cruise control feature.
