Lamborghini Confirms Roadster Version of Aventador Superveloce

So you liked the first Aventador Superveloce, but though that it had entirely too much roof?  Boy, have we got news for you.  At this past weekend’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, Lamborghini President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann announced that the Italian Supercar manufacturer will build 500 Roadster versions of their top of the line Aventador Superveloce.  The cars are currently available for order at your friendly neighborhood Lamborghini dealers, and if you don’t want to be stuck with some run-of-the-mill Aventador Roadster, you should probably act quickly.

Read the full Press Release below.

Sant’Agata Bolognese/Goodwood – Automobili Lamborghini has announced a roadster version of its Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce. The roadster will be limited to 500 units.

The Aventador Superveloce coupé version made its UK debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend, on display and running ‘up the hill’, with Lamborghini President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann in attendance.

Speaking at Goodwood, Stephan Winkelmann confirmed production of the Superveloce Roadster. “The Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce is the most pure, sports-oriented and emotional incarnation of a Lamborghini, and all 600 units have been sold, with first deliveries starting now. We will also produce a roadster version, which our dealers worldwide are now taking orders for.”

The Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce was shown at Geneva motor show earlier this year. The Superveloce accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 2.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of more than 350 km/h (217 mph). Compared to the Aventador LP 700-4 the power output of the Superveloce has been increased by 50 hp and the weight reduced by 50 kg.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017.

Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
