The Lamborghini Aventador
LP700-4 Roadster is going to be one of the most exclusive, expensive, and
blindingly quick convertibles when it comes to market. Revealed for the first
time, this ultra-exotic comes powered by a 700-bhp 6.5-liter V-12 engine,
coupled to an ISR 7-speed transmission. Forming the core of the Roadster is a carbon
fiber tub, which in the Aventador coupe weighs a scant 324.5 lbs. According to
Lamborghini’s stopwatch, this all-wheel-drive mega-convertible accelerates from
0 to 62-mph in 3.0 seconds, and can reach a top speed of 217 mph. This kind of
performance comes with a price, specifically one just north of $380,000 per
vehicle.
The reason to buy the Roadster
versus the Aventador hardtop is the top, or more specifically, the lack
thereof. In the case of this drop-top Lambo, the two-piece convertible top is
constructed out of lightweight carbon fiber and is removed manually, with
storage provided in the front luggage compartment. It’s worth noting that the
McLaren MP4-12C Spider also features a folding carbon fiber lid, but one that
neatly disappears with the push of a button. The manual labor required in the
Lamborghini does at least result in an even more ravishing shape than the
already outrageous-looking hardtop variant.
