On occasion of the Monterey Car week in California, Lamborghini unveiled an
open-top version of the high-performance Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce. The
Roadster, presented at the famous event 'The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering', is
available in a limited series of 500 units worldwide and is the first series
produced, open-top Lamborghini to bear the name Superveloce.
"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," said Stephan Winkelmann,
CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.
As a member of Lamborghini's storied Superveloce family, the car offers greater
performance with a power increase of 50 hp to 740 hp and a dry weight of 3,472
lb (1,575 kg), that is 110 lb (50 kg) lighter compared to the Aventador LP 700-4
Roadster. This leads to an exceptional power-to-weight ratio of just 4,6 lb/hp
(2,1 kg/hp).
The Roadster maintains the coupe's mesmerizing attributes. In an enhancement to
the Superveloce coupe
experience, the Superveloce Roadster features a power rear window that
allows the free-flowing engine sound to fill the cabin with invigorating tones
and harmonics during spirited driving.
The naturally aspirated, 6.5-liter V12 produces 740 hp at 8,400 rpm and 508
lb-ft (690 Nm) of torque. Acceleration from 0-60 mph happens in 2.8 seconds with
a top speed of more than 217 mph (350 km/h).
And as with the Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster, the SV Rodster comes with a
two-piece hardtop made from carbon fiber featuring technologies such as RTM and
Forged Composite, which deliver a perfect surface finish, allow complex design
shapes and the highest possible component stiffness combined with extremely low
weight. Thus, the two roof parts each weigh less than six kilograms (13.2 lb)
and can be stowed easily in the luggage compartment. They provide the perfect
complement to the monocoque, which is entirely made from carbon fiber.
Deliveries of the Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce Rodster begin in early 2016
with base price of $530,075.
