It seems as if the Aventador SVJ launched yesterday, and considering that production hasn’t even started yet, there’s no denying the Super Veloce Jota is still fresh out of the oven. But come 2019, the limited-edition model will be joined by a topless bull.
Citing an executive order signed by the California Air Resources Board on August 23rd, Lamborghini certified four models for the 2019 model year. These are “the Aventador S Coupe, Aventador S Roadster, Aventador SVJ Coupe, and Aventador SVJ Roadster.”

Discovered by AutoGuide.com, it shouldn’t come as a surprise the coupe will be joined by the open-top body style in less than a year’s time. After all, Lamborghini pulled a similar trick with the Huracan Performante and Huracan Performante Spyder.

It remains how many will be manufactured at the Sant’Agata Bolognese factory, but if the coupe is anything to go by, 900 examples are expected to roll off the assembly line. In addition to the standard cars, Lamborghini could also replicate the Aventador SVJ 63 commemorative edition in open-top flavor, adding 63 units to the tally.

Pricing is certain to be higher than the coupe ($517,700), which means the Aventador SVJ Roadster could be the most expensive Lamborghini from the 2019 model year. That status could be overwritten by 2020, as the Raging Bull prepares to launch an extreme aero vehicle that would rival track-focused monsters such as the McLaren Senna.

Considering that the Aventador SVJ lapped the Nurburgring in a record-breaking 6 minutes 44 seconds, there’s no denying Lamborghini will soon be outperformed by a rival automaker. And this is where that “extreme aero” vehicle enters the scene, developed to stick to the blacktop better than the Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva 2.0-equipped Super Veloce Jota.

On that note, can you imagine Lamborghini making a convertible version of the Urus sport utility vehicle? We certainly can’t, but what is certain is that the plug-in hybrid powertrain is in the works.
