Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Offers up 740 HP, Open Air Thrills

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.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
