458 Spider or possible Aventador?
Discussion
So it seems that I may be in the unbelievable position to start buying myself some proper toys.
First thing will be to replace my 996TT with a new 997TT as my every day kind of car. But I am also thinking about something a little more special as a summer weekend kind of car.
I have always wanted to own a Lamborghini and the Aventador just looks amazing. However I have decided that I really want something convertible and really the 458 Spider is one of the most perfect convertibles I have ever seen.
So my questions are:
a) Is there likely to be an Aventador Convertible and if so when?
b) The 458 Spider, is it really as good as it looks? Is there anything else that compares?
I also wondered on waiting times. There was another thread recently that said I would be looking at late 2013 before seeing either of these?
An enviable position to be in I am sure you will agree but probably one I won't be in again so I want to get it right!
cheers

you'll probably be able to get an aventador before they even start rhd deliveries of the 458 spider. the 458 spider will be a longer wait and i'm down for q1 2013 for my one (or so i'm told). planning to spec my aventador at the end of the year and take delivery in q2 2012 and trading it in for the 458 spider when it arrives. in addition the lambos are 10k refundable deposit, whereas the 458 spider is 20k non refundable (for a very long wait i might add).

Based on previous models I wouldnt expect to see a convertible Aventador for a couple of years.
Have you driven a 430 Spider? Awesome cars, well under half the price of a 458 Spider and you could get one now.
If you want something more special look at a 16M.
This may be of interest. How true it is I can't say but if those images do turn out to be what the car looks like then they have my vote!

Mclaren are also planning a roadster I would talk to them before making your mind up.
That is very interesting and the first I had heard. Does anyone have any links or news about this?Although I guess it will be some time yet as they haven't yet really finished the coupe!

Certainly doesn't work for me. My money would be on an Aventador or 458 Spider over most classics im afraid.

Im 30k in on my deposit for my Aventador and it's non refundable, when it arrives. in addition the lambos are 10k refundable deposit, whereas the
