As we told you over the weekend, Lamborghini has decided to unveil the Aventador Superveloce Roadster directly on the streets of Sant’Agata Bolognese. With a production-ready model running around the streets of the Raging Bull’s home town, it was only a matter of time until spy photographers would devour it. And here we are, bringing you a complete, high-resolution gallery.
The carmaker describes the SV coupe as the “most sports-oriented, fastest and most emotional series production Lamborghini ever,” so there are plenty of reasons to await for the Roadster’s official debut, which is expected to take place in September at the Frankfurt Auto Show.
The Aventador SV Roadster’s top is expected to weigh as little as 13 lbs (5.8 kg), but, even with the extreme diet the vehicle has been put on, it will still be 110 lbs (49.8 kg) heavier than the coupe.
At first sight, it might look like we are dealing with an extra-aggressive carbon fiber full body armor and a power hike of 50 bulls, but the SV treatment brings much more than that.
The Aventador was always a bit on the massive side and the SV comes to deal with this by offering a sharper driver interaction. As a result, the fixed-roof Aventador Coupe was able to lap the Nurburgring just three seconds behind the Porsche 918 Spyder hypercar.
The Aventador SV Roadster is expected to offer similar performance, but we probably won’t see it setting a Green Hell record anytime soon. As you know, the ‘Ring is currently affected by speed limits, and until the management solves this crisis, records are basically banned.
Regardless, this is the kind of car that makes you feel alive at 40 mph in traffic, so its existence doesn’t depend on the time spent on the track.
After we drove the Aventador and the Aventador Roadster, we preferred the first, mainly thanks to two reasons. First of all, the Roadster’s two-piece carbon roof occupies the entire luggage compartment when stowed. While this obviously won’t change, the SV’s active dampers mean the ride won’t be stiffer than in the coupe, as it happens with the non-SV models.
