The Italians know a lot about style. They also know a lot about cars…supercars to be precise. Lamborghini had debuted the Aventador Superveloce earlier this year. Now they sawed off the roof and made a roadster.
They call it the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce Roadster. Probably the longest car name in the world and as it suggests, it gets a 740bhp from a 6.5 litre V12 and sends a total of 690Nm of torque to its 4 wheel drive system. Without the roof it can still do 0-100 in 2.9 seconds and if you don’t throw up by then, it will go on to do its top speed of 350kmph with a jiffy shifting 7 speed ISR transmission
Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini said; ‘‘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,’’
What is astonishing is that convertibles are actually heavier than hardtops. But Lamborghini has shed 50kgs of weight from the standard car and squeezed out 50bhp more from the engine making it lighter, more powerful and even more agile than ever before. The SV roadster comes with a two-piece, carbon fibre hardtop which weigh less than 6kgs each can be stored in the luggage compartment.
Lamborghini will only make 500 of these and they will cost 375,000 Euros which sums up to around Rs. 2.78cr before you get to the paper work. Lamborghini debuted the car for the first time at ‘The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering’ in California, USA.
