Automobili Lamborghini has already established the fact that with increased power, lower weight,
improved aerodynamics and innovative technologies in its 2016 Aventador LP750-4 Superveloce.
The SV boasts of being the most pure incarnation of a Lamborghini to date. The latest variant
is the roadster, which waspresented at the ‘The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering’ event in Monterey. The limited to 500 unit series production variant is also the first production open-top Lamborghini to be adorned with the Superveloce [SV] badge. During the launch, Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili.
Lamborghini said: “The Superveloce is the purest, most sports-oriented and fastest series production Lamborghini ever. The Roadster version represents our commitment to satisfying our passionate clients with immensely emotional driving dynamics combined with an extraordinary open air experience.”
Since it belongs to the Superveloce family, the car has been engineered to offer greater performance with a power increase of 50hp to 750 hp and a dry weight of 1,575kg. This means it is 50kg lighter when compared to the Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster and the weight reduction has led to an exceptional power to- weight ratio of just 2.1 kg/hp.
And as with the Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster, the SV Roadster comes with a two-piece hardtop made from carbon fibre featuring advanced technologies which deliver a perfect surface finish and allows complex design shapes to be incorporated besides offering the highest possible component stiffness combined with extremely low weight.
Thus, the two roof parts each weigh less than 6kg and can be stowed easily in the luggage compartment. They provide the perfect complement to the monocoque, which is entirely made from carbon fibre In the SV Aventador variants, overall aerodynamics have been optimized by 150 per cent in term of efficiency and gained a considerably higher down force of 170 per cent over the standard Aventador.
The most obvious new element is a large racing-style rear wing which improves aerodynamic efficiency and generates additional down force. It can be manually adjusted to three different positions to suit a driving style. The wing can be regulated to allow for a change of 15per cent in the aerodynamic balance of the car.
In this way the best set-up is guaranteed in every driving condition, both on the road and on the track in order to reach maximum down force or speed.
The front end of the car has been redesigned completely to allow for a more ‘open’ view, with the forward-stretched line of the front skirt and two front wings - one in black carbon fibre and one in
the car’s colour - generating significant down force in the front of the car.
This improves handling and stability, gives even more precise turn-in at high speeds and, in conjunction with the ABS, ensures a sensitive and accurate feedback from the steering. Larger front air intakes optimize brake cooling.
Lamborghini claims that despite losing its top, none of the coupe’s characteristics like acceleration, torque delivery and handling prowess has been compromised. In fact, there’s an enhancement to the
Superveloce coupé experience wherein the Roadster variant features a power rear window that allows the free-flowing engine sound to fill the cabin with invigorating tones and harmonics during
spirited driving.
The interior has also been completely revised with a clear focus on weight reduction. The new sports bucket seats and the door panels are made of carbon and the interior’s lightweight design excludes an infotainment system which is available as a no cost option, carpets and certain noise insulation parts.
Like its hardtop counterpart, the Roadster also gets the new instrument cluster. The TFT screen is dominated by the colour yellow, with an RPM shifting indicator in light blue, and a G-force indicator in the lower part of the cluster similar to racing cars. At 8,400 rpm, the car’s naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 produces 750hp and torque of 690Nm comes in at 5,500rpm. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h comes in 2.9secs with a top speed of more than 350 km/h.
As before, the Roadster uses 7-speed ISR transmission with fast gear shifts. The engine’s power is transferred to all four wheels via Haldex Gen IV 4WD system. The electronically controlled coupling
matches the torque distribution perfectly to the dynamic situation in a matter of milliseconds.
A self-locking differential at the rear axle and an electronic differential lock at the front is controlled by the ESP. As in the SV coupé the car takes advantage of adaptive Magneto Rheological Suspension, a pushrod damping system and Lamborghini Dynamic Steering (LDS) for improved driving dynamics. Deliveries of the Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce Roadster begin in early 2016.
The Superveloce’s lightweight forged rims in matt black measure 20inch at the front and 21inch at the rear and are optionally equipped with central locking mounts, as in motorsport. The standard-fit Pirelli P Zero Corsa sports tyres ensure maximum grip, with Carbon Ceramic Brakes as standard.
