Pic Of The Week: Aventador Roadster

Some good old fashioned supercar escapism to liven up your desktop on a gloomy November afternoon

---

OK, so this is the digital equivalent of that dog-eared Countach poster you may well have had on your bedroom wall a couple of decades back. But it serves the same purpose as, indeed, does the new Aventador Roadster.

Interesting that when we took its coupe brother out for a day to meet drivers of the V12 Lambosthat came before it pretty much all the owners had started their love affair with the brand in this way. And that's exactly the appeal of a Lamborghini - they exude that 'cor blimey' excitement that everyone from nine-year-olds to 90-year-olds can understand.

Ferrari does the trading on decades of racing heritage thing. McLaren the cool, technological F1 lineage stuff. Porsche the supercar you can buy with your heart and your head and realistically drive every day. But, let's face it, when it comes to cars like this you still want that 'oof!' factor. And there could only be one contender for this week's image of choice...

Enjoy!

My old mate Dave, the dustman, always reckoned, that the best car, was the one that when you drove it past a bus stop, all the girls wanted to have sex with the driver !! Seems a reasonable criteria to me !! This I think would score high on that test.
