AVENTADOR LP 700-4 ROADSTER

 

SHAPED AND INSPIRED BY EXTREME AERONAUTICS, THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY LAMBORGHINI EXPERIENCE EVER.

 

You’ll recognise it in the sinuous geometrics of the design, in the unique shape and trim. You’ll hear it in the intimidatory growl of the V12, 6.5 litre, 700 metric horse power, mid-rear mounted engine; a first for open-top super sports cars.

You’ll sense it in the torsional stiffness of the carbon fiber monocoque. You’ll feel it in the dynamics of its movement, the breathless excitement of its high velocity performance. You’ll see it encapsulated in scissor doors, and in the lightweight, two-piece, carbon fiber, removable hard top; the neatest of touches in a perfect balance of sportiness and elegance.

You’ll know exactly why we call it the pinnacle of open top sports car precision driving, when you drive it yourself.

 

THE EXTERIOR BODYSHAPE POSSESSES A LOOK THAT CONCENTRATES ITS CORE POWER ON THE REAR AXLE. IT OFFERS UP A REFLECTION OF A CERTAIN LIFESTYLE: INDIVIDUAL, DISTINCTIVE, SUPER-STYLISH AND LUXURIOUS.

 

The Hard Top. The most differentiating feature of the Aventador Roadster is the two piece,  detachable, carbon fiber hard top that can be stowed in the luggage compartment.

 

Rounded in shape for greater spaciousness, its design pursues the strict maxim of Lamborghini: Form Follows Function. The whole car was refined in wind-tunnel experiments to guarantee  high down force and simultaneous on-board comfort: in both open and closed configuration.

 

Each part is made by melding two skins of carbon fiber, both produced by high pressure  RTM technology. The result provides the top with the highest automotive standards and a  consummate level of aesthetical attainment. The internal hard top reinforcements are  made of forged composite,® an innovative technology used also on the Sesto Elemento Tub.

 

The final result is a stiff and lightweight hard top.

 

LIGHTWEIGHT ENGINEERING IS THE SECRET INGREDIENT OF THE AVENTADOR ROADSTER.

 

The entire monocoque is made of CFRP – not only the shell but also the windscreen frame,  and the infamous hard-top. Weighing only 6kg each, two pillars make up the sleek and  light-weight roof. Whilst also made from carbon-fiber, the Aventador rear pillars have been strengthened, to compensate for when the roof is removed.

 

Main chassis parts are joined by a co-bonding process; shell and rockers are used as a mold to reduce the assembling tolerances – a process borrowed from the aeronautics industry  to ensure structural continuity. The upper part of the Aventador is completely carbon fiber, too. The rear pillars house the electric rear window and the automatic rollover occupant  protection system. The complete open top body actually has a stiffness comparable to the  torsional properties of the aluminium chassis of a super sports car coupé.

 

ENGINE

 

Not just top of its class in design and comfort, the Roadster is also the only open top V12  mid-rear mounted engine super sports car. Its V12 60 degree engine has been positioned   mid-rear to guarantee a perfect weight distribution. The response to even the slightest  pressure on the accelerator is an instantaneous and powerful reflexive release of a generous  and well-rounded torque curve, while lower fuel consumption and improved CO2 emissions  have been boosted by Stop-Start and Cylinder Deactivation System.* The Stop-Start   is unlike any other, providing the Roadster with the quickest restart time and utilizing a  super-capacitor to guarantee the necessary electrical power and obviate the need for a further, weight-producing battery. Compared to traditional systems, restart time in the Roadster is  20% faster; 180 milliseconds is all it takes.

 

 

PUSH ROD SUSPENSION

 

Inspired by extreme competition cars, the front and rear push-rod  suspension not only reduces the overall weight of the car – adhering  closely to the Lamborghini ethos of lightweight engineering – it also  improves both the vehicle’s performance and passenger comfort  by keeping un-sprung masses to a minimum. The spring/damper  elements are not located on the wheel mounts but connected  inboard to the body shell structure, they are transversely positioned  under the windscreen and close to the engine in the rear. This makes wheel control and handling more responsive and easier to manage  at all speeds.

 

TRANSMISSION & PERFORMANCE

 

The Roadster’s Automated Manual Transmission with independent shifting rods (AMT ISR) is an electro  hydraulic-actuated, seven-speed gearbox with four independent shifting rods. The shifting process runs  virtually in parallel: while one shifting rod is disengaging one gear, another shifting rod is engaging   the next gear. So changing gear occurs much faster and without any distinct interruption of traction.  The Aventador Roadster is the only V12 open top with a Haldex four wheel drive system. Its transmission, a single-clutch seven-speed semi-automatic, accomplishes gear shifts in 50 miliseconds.

 

Summing up, all its technical innovations make the Aventador Roadster a car with a weightless structure

that releases boundless power and seamless performance. But what you’ll really be holding your breath

for are these figures:  0-100 Km/h (0-62mph) in 3 seconds; top speed 350 Km/h (217 mph) in both the open and closed top configuration. Breathe out.

REVIEWS

VIDEOS

“One look at the mighty Aventador roadster in the flesh tells you that it is indeed right up there with Lamborghini’s most outrageous creations. It looks like the sort of car Batman might drive on his day off, maybe when he’s on holiday in Miami Beach.”

 

-AUTOCAR

 

“The Aventador's power, pace and appearance inch it into the Veyron's mega-money realm. And while the 12C and 458 Spider are less expensive and more fun to drive, the Aventador Roadster gets round that by smashing your senses in every possible way.”

 

-TOP GEAR

 

“Otherworldly design will grant you instant celebrity status. Is there anything better than scissor doors? Beastly thrust. Zero to 60 in three seconds.”

 

-WIRED

 

“And then there's the soundtrack. Shut the music off, lower the roadster-specific rear window, blip the throttle, and just listen to that V-12 holler back.
