The new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster has been unveiled ahead of the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.
With the same stonking 544kW 6.5-litre atmo V12 as the Coupe, the topless Lambo is only a tenth slower than its sibling.
The 0-100km/h spring of three seconds is achieved through the use of carbon fibre, and the result is a roadster that weighs only 50kg more than the roofed version.
Lamborghini says the Aventador S roadster’s rear “sports distinctively different lines to the coupé”, though this is mostly due to the engine cover being a ‘bridge’ rather than the almost vent-like rear blinds seen on the coupe.
In addition, the space behind the driver can be blocked with a small rear window when the roof is attached, as it can be opened without the roof for better access to the V12 soundtrack.
“The new Aventador S Roadster sets new benchmarks in technology and performance on both road and track, with the roadster version adding a new dimension in driving enjoyment,” says Domenicali.
International pricing for the Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster has been announced for Europe, Japan, China, the UK, and US, but Australian pricing and market availability is yet to be confirmed
