Aston Martin V8 Vantage Review

Safety and Security4 out of 5

Like the bigger Astons, the Vantage Roadster is underpinned by a strong and rigid platform that has been designed to collapse and absorb the energy of an impact.

Both driver and passenger also benefit from two-stage airbag detonation in the event of an accident, with side airbags also fitted as standard.

In the event of the car rolling over, sensors trigger pop-up roll bars behind the driver and passenger.

An alarm and immobiliser are fitted as standard.
