[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.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. 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. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. 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 ...
