Press Release) The ultimate open-air experience: Automobili
Lamborghini presents the new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster
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.
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 hand-made 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 10 Kg as compared with the standard set of
rims.
The new Aventador LP700-4 Roadster boasts record performance. It
accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in only 3 seconds flat and has a
maximum speed of some 350 km/h.
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.
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 supercaps 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 300,000 euro, excluding taxes.
