Lamborghini unveils the new Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce Roadster
in occasion of the 2015 Monterey Car week in California. The Roadster,
presented at the famous event 'The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering', is
available in a limited series of 500 units worldwide and is the first
seriesproduced, open-top Lamborghini to bear the name Superveloce.
"The
Superveloce is the purest, most sports-oriented and fastest series production
Lamborghini ever. The Roadster version represents our commitment to satisfying
our passionate clients with immensely emotional driving dynamics combined with
an extraordinary open air experience," Stephan Winkelmann, President and
CEO of Automobili Lamborghini said during the press conference at The Quail.
As
a member of Lamborghini's storied Superveloce family, the car offers greater
performance with a power increase of 50 hp to 750 hp and a dry weight of 1,575
kg (3,472 lb), that is 50 kg (110 lbs) lighter compared to the Aventador LP
700-4 Roadster. This leads to an exceptional power-to-weight ratio of just 2,1
kg/hp (4,6 lb/hp).
The
Roadster maintains the coupe's breathtaking acceleration, sheer power and
handling prowess. In an enhancement to the Superveloce coupé experience, the
Superveloce Roadster's features a power rear window that allows the
free-flowing engine sound to fill the cabin with invigorating tones and
harmonics during spirited driving.
The
naturally aspirated, 6.5-liter V12 produces 552 kW (750 hp) at 8,400 rpm and
690 Nm (509 lb-ft) of torque. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) happens
in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of more than 350 km/h (> 217 mph).
Lamborghini's
highly innovative 7-speed ISR transmission delivers an incomparably emotional
gear shift and transfers the engine's power to all four wheels through a Haldex
Generation IV 4WD system. Of course, as in the SV coupé the car takes advantage
of adaptive Magneto Rheological Suspension, a pushrod damping system and
Lamborghini Dynamic Steering (LDS) for improved driving dynamics.
And
as with the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster, the SV Rodster comes with
a two-piece hardtop made from carbon fiber featuring technologies such as RTM
and Forged Composite®, which deliver a perfect surface finish, allow complex
design shapes and the highest possible component stiffness combined with
extremely low weight. Thus, the two roof parts each weigh less than six
kilograms (13.2 lb) and can be stowed easily in the luggage compartment. They
provide the perfect complement to the monocoque, which is entirely made from
carbon fiber.
Deliveries
of the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SV Rodster begin in early 2016 with base
pricing of 357,000.00 Euros or USD 530,075.00.
