This is the Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster 50th Anniversary Japan

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

This year marks the 50th year since Lamborghini first began selling its cars in Japan.

The Italian manufacturer has marked the special occasion with the debut of the Aventador S Roadster 50th Anniversary Japan. Limited to just five units, the special edition Aventador S Roadsters will each feature different exterior and interior colors and contents. Each car will be inspired by one of the five natural elements of Japanese culture: water, earth, fire, wind, and sky.

The cars will feature special fading effects in the paint meant to evoke the element it is inspired by. In the case of the water Aventador S Roadster, the blue exterior paint fades to black. Lamborghini says the artisan paintwork required 170 hours of labor for each vehicle, and the contribution of 10 paint specialists. The interiors will comprise Nero Ade black leather and Nero Cosmus black Alcantara, along with unique seat embroidery, and stitching that fades in the same fashion as the exterior color. A hexagonal carbon fiber plate with the Japanese symbol of the car’s elemental namesake adorns the cabin as well.

“On the occasion of this important anniversary for our brand in Japan, I wish to thank our Japanese customers for their support over the years and their strong bond with our marque,” said Lamborghini chairman Stefano Domenicali. “Thanks to them, Japan has now become our second most important market worldwide in terms of cars sold. And with the arrival of the Urus in 2018, we predict further unprecedented success in this country.”

The special edition Aventador S Roadster was unveiled on “Lamborghini Day 2017” in Tokyo. Held at The Prince Hotel, the event saw downtown Tokyo become swarmed by over 80 Lamborghinis for a Concours d’Elegance show with judging. The winner of the show was a 1976 Countach LP400, which beat out the Miura SV that was recently restored by Lamborghini’s Polo Storico vintage division.

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 ...
