Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster headed to Geneva
When you look at the latest history of the Lamborghini brand dating back to the early 1990s, all of the supercars to wear the prancing bull (Murciélago, Gallardo, Reventon, Diablo) have suggested a braless model so it should come as no surprise that the awesome fresh Aventador LP700-4 will get an open-air version of its own. The Italian automaker hasn’t officially confirmed anything but the internet is abuzz with rumors that the Aventador Roadster will showcase itself at the Geneva Motor Showcase in the spring of 2012. We found out from a slightly more official..yet not at all official source when information on the Aventador Roadster popped up on the US government’s EPA Website (click here for more on that).
The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 is powered by a 6.5L V12, pumping out six hundred ninety one horsepower and 510lb-ft of torque to all four wheels via Lamborghini’s advanced all wheel drive system – affording the current production model of the Aventador Coupe to rocket from 0-60 in under three seconds while reaching a top speed of 217.6 miles per hour. Unluckily, the Aventador only offers around fourteen miles per gallon but the odds are good that very few Lambo owners ever think twice about the fuel economy of their Italian supercar. We can expect that the Aventador LP700-4 Roadster to feature the same drivetrain and output with similar spectacle capabilities. The Roadster will likely also pack the same 7-speed automatic transmission that we get in the Aventador Coupe that reduces the shift time to around fifty milliseconds to rip from one gear to the next.
The acute, angular styling of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Coupe is similar to that seen by the super sensational Reventon Coupe, which also witnessed a limited run of twenty units made of a Roadster version. The look of the Aventador will very likely lend itself very sleekly the Roadster alteration – and the odds are better than not that the Aventador Roadster will be just as awesome as the hardtopped version when it hits the streets.
One interesting aspect to the possible introduction of the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster relates to the intended build quantity of the Aventador Coupe. When released, Lamborghini announced that just Four,000 Aventador models would be built and if a Roadster version is unveiled, we wonder if the bare-breasted models will be lumped into that Four,000 unit figure or if there will be Four,000 Aventador Coupes and a to-be-announced number of Aventador Roadsters being independent from the planned quota of hardtop models.
