RE: Lamborghini to make Aventador SV Roadster
Wednesday 1st July 2015
We're still playing catch-up here, but one of the more interesting titbits from last weekend's Goodwood Festival of Speed was confirmation from Lamborghini boss Stephan Winkelmann that the company will be producing a roadster version of the Aventador SV LP-750-4.
Lamborghini to make Aventador SV Roadster
One from the 'that's obvious' school of product planning - more details to follow
That's pretty much all we know for now: it will happen and dealers are already taking orders; just 500 will be built - 100 fewer than the production of the Aventador SV Coupe.
We're probably safe in the assumption that, mechanically, it will share exactly the same powertrain as the hard-top - meaning a 6.5-litre V12 that produces 750hp without the need for forced induction. Performance will probably be fractionally slower than the standard SV, which manages a 2.8-second 0-62mph time and a 220mph top speed. But probably not by enough for anybody to actually notice.
We'll have to wait for pictures, prices and exact specs - so in the meantime please have another look at this magnificent Aventador SV Coupe.

Did you get lost and wonder onto PH by mistake? It's a 750bhp limited run, convertible Lamborghini. This has gone straight to the top of my fantasy supercar list. If I won the Euro on Friday I'd be straight down my local Lambo dealer to put down a deposit.Guvernator said:

But wouldn't you be better off getting the standard roadster and save a lot of money or buy the SV coupe and have a better SV experience?
How many are realistically going to use 100% of these cars capabilities? I think it would be worth the extra just to go tunnel running with the roof off Gandahar said:

No if I could afford a normal one then it would mean money is no object, what's another £50k when you are already spending 300, so I'd want the best\fastest convertible Lambo I could buy and currently this is it. I'm not a good enough driver to notice the 0.5 seconds difference between the roadster and coupe so given the choice, I'd rather have the roof off so I can hear that engine wail better. ssray said:

You ask that on pistonheads???The whole point of the SV is lowered weight, increased power, revised suspension, more track focused etc.
The convertible edition just adds weight, reduces stiffness and makes for a less focused car.
This is the complete antithesis of what an SV should be all about really.
The regular Aventador will therefore just be as quick as this now, for £100k less too.
So yes, pointless.
