Automobili Lamborghini held a special preview of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster at Lamborghini Kuala Lumpur showroom in Glenmarie, Shah Alam. The LP700-4 Roadster is the most exciting series production Lamborghini ever built and the new benchmark in the world of open-top luxury super sports cars. It is even faster and more powerful than the Pagani Roadster.

The Lamborghini Aventador coupe introduced in 2011 and delivered more than 1,300 units globally till date. This year, Lamborghini is now offering the convertible version of the Aventador known as Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster. The starting price of this supercar will be set at RM3 million and the delivery lead time is up to 18 months.

The new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster can immediately be recognized by the unique profile of its upper area, which extends along newly designed geometric lines from the removable two-piece roof to the engine hood on the front.

The new Aventador LP700-4 Roadster boasts record performance. The V12 6.5-litre natural aspirated engine on the LP700-4 Roadster output 700hp and mated with an ISR 7-speed transmission. It accelerates from 0-100 km/h within 3 seconds and a maximum speed up to 350 km/h. The engine and drive train are centrally located to optimise the balance for handling. In addition, the Aventador Roadster also uses the push-rod suspension like the Aventador Coupe.

Part of the effort to improve fuel efficiency, the V12 powerplant includes a cylinder deactivation system when the engine is working at partial capacity and Stop & Start system.

According to Lamborgini, the two-piece roof is made entirely from carbon fibre using various technologies such as RTM and Forged Composite. These technologies guarantee maximum aesthetic performance and stiffness although each component is weighing less than 6 kg. These two parts are removable and attaching it back easily.

Technically, the rear pillar has been redesigned to support the removable roof, accommodate an automatic protection system for passengers, and provide the engine compartment with ample ventilation.

The engine hood on the Roadster differs from the hood on the Coupe because of its central “spinal column” with two pairs of hexagonal windows connected at the sides as if they were hyper-tech armour plates. The main purpose of the design is to cool the engine, drain off rain water properly and, of course, to show off the V12 engine and its bay.

Besides, the powered rear windshield not only influences the flow of air in the vehicle, but also controls the experience of the sound from the twelve-cylinder engine. The wind deflector, on the other hand, delivers almost complete calm inside the car, even at high speed. It rests on the front windshield frame and can likewise be stored in the luggage compartment when not in use.

The range of colours available for the Roadster has been supplemented with a very light, metallic blue color, Azzuro Thetis, whose tone varies with the angle of the light. This colour recalls the shade of the extraordinarily beautiful 1968 Miura Roadster, and both highlights and reinforces the lines of the vehicle by adding strength and dynamism.

The interior use of leather called Sabbia Nefertem highlights the superb hand-made craftsmanship of the upholstery from Sant’ Agata Bolognese and is a perfect match for the exterior in Azzuro Thetis.

The new Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster is fitted with new Dione 20”/21” lightweight forged aluminium rims. The set of wheels lower the weight of the vehicle by 10kg as compared with the standard set of rims.

In conclusion, the new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 coupe is an exceptional vehicle for its design, with its build concept based on a carbon fibre monocoque and superior dynamic behaviour resulting from advanced technological solutions. The entire package of the Aventador Roadster offers more extraordinary driving experience without compromising much on performance.

At the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, Lamborghini is presenting the most uncompromising open supercar of its entire history, the Lamborghini Aventador J.

The two-seater Lamborghini Aventador J comes with 515kW/700hp combining innovative solutions and brand new materials and demonstrating Automobili Lamborghini’s enormous expertise in carbon fibre technology.

Precisely, the technical basis for the Aventador J is the Aventador LP 700-4, Lamborghini’s new V12 model. Presented in 2011, the Aventador has been acclaimed by customers and journalists worldwide alike. The Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4’s technology package is unique – its structure is based on an innovative monocoque made from carbon fibre reinforced polymers that combines systematic lightweight design with optimum stiffness and safety. The new twelve-cylinder with a displacement of 6.5-litres and 515 kW / 700 hp combines the best in high-revving thrills with mighty pulling power. Its super-fast ISR transmission, permanent all-wheel drive and push-rod suspension combine this potent power with the utmost handling precision.

The Lamborghini Aventador J is a radically open automobile – exterior and interior meld into each other. The designers and engineers in Sant’Agata Bolognese have not only dispensed entirely with the roof, but also with the front windshield. This requires that drivers of the Aventador J must have the right equipment for driving at top speeds higher than 300km/h.

The letter J is derived from the sporting rules of the FIA world motorsport organization. Its “Appendix J” defines the technical specification of race cars in the various classes.

 “With the Lamborghini Aventador J, we have moulded our brand DNA into its most definitive form to date. This automobile is as extreme and as uncompromising as only a Lamborghini can be,” says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “The new Lamborghini Aventador J is the most radical open supersports car of Lamborghini’s history. Its name comes from our tradition and combines an unconventional design with technology innovation. Nowadays we are confronted with several regulations that we face in the spirit of challenge. The Aventador J is the proof that, despite the rules, Lamborghini will always make people dream, even in the future.”

Continuation of a glorious tradition With the Aventador J, technically based on the Aventador, Automobili Lamborghini is carrying on its glorious brand tradition. The 1970 Jota, for instance, was the stuff of legends – a Lamborghini Miura with improved performance and virtually redesigned in every detail. It remained a one-off; although some owners subsequently had their Miuras modified to look like the Jota.

The Lamborghini Aventador J is a super sports car of positively dramatic single-mindedness and openness. It combines the overwhelming performance of the Lamborghini Aventador with the most intense experience of power and dynamics imaginable in an automobile.

Lamborghini’s fifth generation V12 supercar made its official debut in 81st Geneva Motor Show. Officially introducing the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4.

Despite having more complex lines, the Aventador still manages to maintain the simple and cleaner look as a Lamborghini. From the photos appearance, the quality of materials is proof that Lamborghini is continuing to benefit the Volkswagen Group’s influence. Well done guys!
