Lambo’s Superveloce Roadster Unleashed in California

The beast now walks amongst us. Well, drives amongst us, in fact, although with a 0-62 time of just 2.9 seconds you’d be hard pressed to catch a glimpse. This prince amongst cars, this raging bull, is the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce Roadster, which has just been unveiled at a prestigious motorsports event in California.

The Roadster certainly capture people’s eyes and imaginations, particularly because it is the first series-produced open-top Lamborghini to be given e name ‘Superveloce’. As Stephan Winkelmsnn, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, commented:  “The Superveloce is the purest, most sports-oriented and fastest series production Lamborghini ever. The Roadster version represents our commitment to satisfying our passionate clients with immensely emotional driving dynamics combined with an extraordinary open air experience”. In case you thought the car couldn’t get any more desirable, it’s also limited to just 500 models worldwide.

The Aventador Superveloce Roadster is entirely focused on performance, which has resulted in the blistering 0-62 time as well as a capped top speed of 217 MPH. Part of the reason it’s so fast is that it’s 50kg lighter than the standard roadster, which gives it a power-to-weight ratio of 2.1kg / HP. It’s also had a power boost, and its 6.5 litre V12 now produces 750BHP, delivering an exciting driving experience that combines breathtaking power and acceleration with pin-sharp handling. The high quality of the handling is created by a combination of the marque’s flagship 7-speed ISR transmission, Magneto Rheological Suspension and Lamborghini Dynamic Steering.

For those of you who love the sound of a naturally aspirated engine (prediction: most of you), the Roadster has a unique rear window that allows the engine sound to flood the cabin with delicious noise.

Then, of course, there’s the roof. Made from carbon fibre and featuring all kinds of clever technologies that create a perfect level of stiffness, it comes in two parts that weigh just 6kg each. These can be packed in the luggage compartment easily, allowing you to make the most of the sunshine in this beautiful car.

It seems like Lamborghini have created something truly spectacular here, and we can’t wait for our own model to arrive later this year. Can’t wait….. we have an extensive collection of high spec Lamborghinis in our Experience Centre – give us a call if you want to experience some of the dynamic Lamborghini engineering for yourself!
