“Over-the-top performance”
Lamborghini has made an open-air version of the Aventador S, and it sacrifices little in the way of performance. Just like the coupe, it packs a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 engine. This unit makes 730 hp and 509 lb-ft of torque, helping the drop-top accelerate to 62 mph in a claimed 3.0 seconds, or 0.1 second behind Lamborghini’s estimate for the coupe. It matches the coupe’s top speed of 217 mph, even though it’s 110 pounds heavier.
In our recent First Drive, we noted, “The Aventador S Roadster’s unabashed, unbridled, unapologetic all-encompassing over-the-top performance—in all senses of the word—and the reactions it produces, not just in its privileged passengers, but gob-smacked onlookers as well, is automotive art at its best.” Find out what tricks the Aventador S Roadster has up its sleeves in the video above.
