Lamborghini released the 500-units limited-series Aventador 570-4 Superveloce Roadster at the 2015 Monterey Car week in California.
If its coupe sibling was the darling of those who tried it on the track, the Roadster version was built for those who tried to enjoy life at every corner. For those who didn't care too much about lap times but about fun on each lap they ran. But don't think that the 570-4 SV Roadster was slow. It was just slower than its coupe sibling due to the added weight and the lower rigidity of the chassis.
The name said it all: 750 hp and all-wheel-drive. The SV meant Superveloce, which can be translated into Superfast. To live up to that name, the Lamborghini engineers added 50 more hp to the Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster and cut 50 kg (110 lbs) from its weight. It wasn't only a diet but a training program. While the removal of the ALA (Lamborghini Active Aerodynamic) cut some weight, then added some kilos in the form of adaptive steering and magnetorheological dampers.
Lamborghini also focused on the car's interior and offered not only a sporty look but preserved a luxurious appearance as well. Thus, the yellow display on the instrument cluster with black dials formed helped the driver to easily read the information regarding the speed and the revs. Yet, the sports bucket seats featured contrast stitching and high-quality materials that also gave the occupants a feeling of a luxurious roadster. For better open-top experiences, the automaker installed a rear window, thus lowering the wind turbulence inside the cockpit.
Even though it was 50 kg heavier than its coupe sibling, the Superveloce Roadster was just .1 seconds slower than that in the 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) run. Yet, the top speed was the same.
