Automobili Lamborghini presents the
new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster: the most exciting series production
Lamborghini ever built and the new benchmark in the world of open-top luxury
super sports cars.
On the heels of the successful coupe
introduced in Summer 2011, and with over 1,300 units already delivered to
customers, the House of the Raging Bull is now offering the convertible version
of the Aventador, a vehicle that perfectly balances the ultimate driving
experience with the ultimate in sports car sophistication.
The new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4
Roadster can immediately be recognized by the unique profile of its upper area,
which extends along newly designed geometric lines from the removable roof to
the engine hood.

Roadster’s design is the result of a careful study into the best way of combining
performance, elegant style
The Roadster’s design is the result of a
careful study into the best way of combining performance, elegant style, ease
of use and a driving experience that excites all five senses.
The two-piece roof is made entirely from
carbon fiber using various technologies such as RTM and Forged Composite®.
These technologies guarantee maximum aesthetic performance and stiffness
although each component is extremely light, weighing less than 6 kg. These two
parts are removable, easy to handle, and being lightweight and simple to
attach, can be stored in the front luggage compartment. In just a few seconds
the Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster can be admired in all its luxurious beauty. The
rear pillar has been redesigned to offer total support for the removable roof,
accommodate an automatic protection system for passengers, and provide the
engine compartment with ample ventilation.

Right at first glance, it’s noticeable that
the engine hood on the Roadster differs from the hood on the coupé because of
its central “spinal column” with two pairs of hexagonal windows connected at
the sides as if they were hyper-tech armor plates. Their purpose is to cool the
engine, drain off rain water properly and, of course, allow the beauty of the
V12 power unit to be admired.
The driver of the Aventador Roadster and
his passenger can decide for themselves how intensely they would like to enjoy the
driving experience. The powered rear windshield not only influences the flow of
air in the vehicle, but also controls the experience of the sound from the
twelve cylinder engine. The wind deflector, on the other hand, delivers almost
complete calm inside the car, even at high speed. It rests on the front
windshield frame and can likewise be stored in the luggage compartment when not
in use.
The Aventador Roadster is also equipped
with door windows with chamfered edges, which always ensure a perfect fit into
the hard-top seal, and underline the sharp side profile of the car.
The body of the new Lamborghini Aventador
LP 700-4 Roadster sports a two-tone finish, as the windshield pillar, the two
roof sections and the rear window area up to the “fins” are painted in gloss
black. The visual effect is that of a completely open vehicle with sleek lines
combining perfectly balanced sportiness and elegance.

The range of colors available for the
Roadster has been supplemented with a very light, metallic blue color, Azzuro
Thetis, whose tone varies with the angle of the light. This color recalls the
shade of the extraordinarily beautiful 1968 Miura Roadster, and both highlights
and reinforces the lines of the vehicle by adding strength and dynamism.
Even the interior has a new look. The use
of leather called Sabbia Nefertem highlights the superb handmade craftsmanship
of the upholstery from Sant’ Agata Bolognese and is a perfect match for the
exterior in Azzuro Thetis. Finally, the new Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster also
features new Dione 20”/21” rims with a daring, aggressive look. Crafted in
light forged aluminum, they lower the weight of the vehicle by 22lbs as
compared with the standard set of rims.

The new Aventador LP700-4 Roadster boasts
record performance. It accelerates from 0 to 60 in only 3 seconds flat and has
a maximum speed of some 217 mph. These numbers, combined with a drive train
featuring a centrally located, 6.5 liter aspirated V12 generating 700 hp, an
ISR 7-speed gearbox and push-rod suspension make the new Aventador Roadster a
unique super sports car with no direct competition.
The
Roadster version will also offer a cylinder deactivation system, which helps
keep the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption as low as possible when the engine
is only under partial load.
Of course the Roadster’s V12 also includes
a cylinder deactivation system when the engine is working at partial capacity,
while the innovative, instant Stop & Start system includes high-performance
capacitors known as supercars to awaken the engine. This is an absolute first
in the super sports car segment.
The new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4
Roadster is a dream that can be realized and ordered at any Lamborghini dealer
in the world for the price of $392,000, excluding taxes.
