[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

The Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster has made its debut ahead of the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, combining the sharpened performance of the Aventador S with the open-air thrills of the Aventador Roadster. 

The Aventador S Roadster adopts the updated styling cues of the Aventador S and builds on the equation with an “engine bridge” connecting the two rear buttresses. Other changes include a removable hardtop roof panels, which weigh just 13.2 lbs and are available in either a matte or gloss carbon fiber finish or high gloss black. The panels can be easily removed and are stored in the front trunk. The rear window is also electronically operated and can be retracted at the push of a button.

Lamborghini is giving customers the choice of five interior configurations for the vehicle including leather and Alcantara in single and bi-color combinations and various stitching and trim choices. The underside of the roof panels can also be covered in black Alcantara framed by matte black carbon, or a ‘Carbon Skin’ material that is even lighter than Alcantara and also covers other parts of the cabin.

The Aventador S Roadster has been launched in a special Blu Aegir exterior color to demonstrate the capabilities of Lamborghini’s new Ad Personam customizations program. Other Ad Personam features on the launch vehicle include a high gloss carbon fiber windscreen frame and door mirrors, carbon front and rear bumpers and carbon air intakes. The Ad Personam treatment continues inside with Blu Delphinus and Bianco Polar leather, Blu Delphinus stripes on the seats, doors and dashboard and blue and white floor mats.

The same 6.5-liter V12 as the standard Aventador S resides behind the seats and is producing the same 740 horsepower and 509 lb-ft of torque. The same seven-speed transmission is also employed, with the powertrain enabling a 0-62 mph time of 3.0-seconds and a top speed of 217 mph. Carbon ceramic brakes, lightweight 20/21-inch wheels and Pirelli P Zero tires complete the list of hardware.

The Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster has been priced from $460,247 in the U.S.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Novitec, Unsatisfied with Aventador SV, Adds More Veloce

The Lamborghini Aventador SV is no slouch, but if you’re into Lamborghinis, chances are you’re into big numbers. Whether it’s in the bank or under the hood, a big number could, and perhaps should, always be bigger, which is where Novitec steps in. Novitec has been modifying Italian cars for years, and their Torado line is dedicated to making ridiculous Lamborghinis even more ridiculous. Their latest effort takes the Aventador SV and remaps the engine to give it 786hp and 544 lb-ft of toque. They’ve also fitted the car with a new exhaust system that cuts 50 lbs off the car. Other mods include a carbon fiber aero package, spoiler, front splitter and air intake, all of which helps it shed even more weight. The Aventador also sits on 21 (back) and 20 (front) inch Vossen wheels. So if you think that a regular Aventador is just a little too pedestrian, give Novitec a call and they’ll hook you up.
