Unlike most projects we see nowadays, Novitec's Aventador has been done the right way. it boasts a highly modified front bumper infused with the look of a yet to be built SV model. Huge blades of carbon fiber protrude from the front bumper, slicing through the air and feeding the mighty car. Down the side, the Torado boasts new air ducts, carbon mirror caps and bladed skirts.

From every angle, looking at this thing is a pleasurable experience, even though we would have loved it if Novitec would have resisted the urge to add a huge rear wing. However, we're more than willing to forgive them, since the sheer amount of carbon fiber add-ons have turned this supercar into a true exotic, something you drive only on a special occasion.

A clean engine mod

With this particular Aventador Roadster, Novitec has kept the engine upgrades down to a minimum. The V12 has been fitted with a new exhaust system and remapped engine electronics with special mapping for injection and ignition timings. As a result, the output has been stretched from 700 PS up to 728 PS. Torque is also up, from 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) to 709 Nm (523 lb-ft).

Making sure the Lambo is capable of dealing with this much power, Novite installed a stiff new coilover suspension system and a set of new wheels and tires: 9,0J x 20J with 255/30 R20 tires for the front axle and 13,0J x 21J with 355/25 R for the rear, both Pirelli P-Zeros.

The future of this project

It's really up to the customer to decide what kind of engine mods he would like to get. However, we know from previous Novitec projects that they can fit a Stage 2 system with two large superchargers , modified induction system, water-cooled intercoolers with additional extra-large radiators, pumps, reinforced v-ripped belts, injectors, high-performance fuel pumps and modified ECU. In theory then, the Aventador Roadster could one day boast that it has 970 horsepower, an almost Bugatti-rivaling number.
