Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster to Debut in Miami and then at LA Auto Show?

You have probably already heard the rumors about Lamborghini getting ready for the presentation of the new roadster version of the Aventador LP700-4 this fall, and now, a member of the Teamspeed forums with the nickname "D55L" claims to have received a special invitation for the U.S. launch of the car in Miami, Florida next Monday, November 12.
The invitation is titled "Our most powerful roadster ever. The excitement is sky high" and then goes on to say that the Aventador LP700-4 Roadster is "crafted from an ultra-rigid carbon fibre monocoque for strength with light weight" and will be powered by the same 691hp (700PS) 6.5-liter V12 linked to an all-wheel drive system found in the coupe.

Take a Ride in the Lamborghini Aventador LP760-4 Dragon Edition

Santa Claus Chills Out with Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster

Like many other companies these festive days, Italian supercar-maker Lamborghini is also embracing the Christmas spirit with a video that focuses on Santa Claus.

We meet the man in the red suit chilling out in a bar in the North Pole on Christmas Eve at 6:30 PM ordering multiple milkshakes with no intention to leave. The clock ticks pass 10 PM, but Santa shows no desire to stop drinking milkshakes, much to the dismay of the grumpy barman.

DMC Applies J Speedster Looks on Limited Run Lamborghini Aventador LP900 SV

If you have a heart that beats strongly inside you, then you must have felt something about Lamborghini's €2.1 million Aventador J Speedster that was presented at this year's Geneva motor show.

However, wanting and being able to obtain the roofless Aventador J Speedster are two different things. Even if you could afford it, Lamborghini only built one specimen that was sold to an unnamed buyer even before we laid our eyes on the car.

Hands On Video of Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster's Hardtop Roof

If anything, Lamborghini's designers had a walk in the park when they were asked to improve the Murcielago Roadster's so-called "umbrella" soft-top on the new Aventador LP700-4 Roadster.

For those of you wondering why, to put it simply, the open-top Murcielago's roof was a cosmetic and engineering joke, especially for a vehicle that cost in the region of $400,000.

Not that Lamborghini's engineers pushed themselves in any way with the Aventador LP700-4 Roadster, but at least the carbonfibre targa tops seem fairly easy to operate and mount on the exotic supercar's roof.

Glitzy Malaysian Wedding with a Parade of Exotic Supercars and Luxury Models

Nothing says success hasn't gone to your head and that you remain a person of the people than a…parade of exotic and super luxurious automobiles, including more Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 coupes (each priced at around $1 million in Malaysia) and Bentley Continental Flying Spur sedans than we care to count.

All this and more took place during the wedding of Malaysian badminton athletes Lee Chong Wei and Wong Mew Choo at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre this past weekend.

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster Officially Revealed, Priced at €300,000

As expected, Lamborghini today pulled the wraps off the open-top version of its Aventador LP700-4 supercar. The Aventador Roadster makes its U.S. debut in Miami, Florida, before its international premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show at the end of the month.

The first addition to the hugely successful Aventador, which has already sold some 1,300 units since its introduction in summer of 2011, thankfully foregoes the annoyingly fiddly fabric cover of its Murcielago Roadster predecessor in favor of a lightweight, two-piece hard top made out of carbon fiber.

Just like other open-top supercars, including Ferrari’s 458 Spider and McLaren’s MP4-12C Spyder, the Aventador Roadster is actually more of a targa than an all-out roadster.

Unlike those models, though, the Lambo's roof is not electrically operated as it must be removed by hand. Lamborghini, however, claims that its design and low weight (less than 6 kg/13 pounds) make it easy to handle. When removed, it is stored in the front luggage compartment, while going topless or putting it back on is a matter of seconds.

DMC's Lamborghini Aventador Molto Veloce LP900 Debuts on Video

German sports and luxury car tuner DMC wants to cater to the needs of those who prefer to see its products on film and at least in some sort of action, with a new video for its rather colorful Lamborghini Aventador Molto Veloce LP900.

We do have to admit, though, the clip has far more music going on for it than what we would have preferred, especially given the Aventador's wonderful V12 music track and which is said to be further enhanced by DMC's titanium exhaust system that weighs only 1/10th of the stock unit (34kg).

2013MY Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 gets Cylinder Deactivation, Start/Stop and Refined Chassis

The spotlight at Lamborghini's Paris Motor Show stand may be on the cosmetically refreshed Gallardo LP560-4, but it isn't the only Raging Bull model to receive an update for the new model year.

Joining the Gallardo is the 2013 version of Lamborghini's flagship Aventador LP700-4, which was upgraded on several levels, despite the fact that it has only been on the market for less than a year.

In fact, the changes on the Aventador are far more substantial than on the Gallardo beginning with the adoption of newly developed start-stop and cylinder deactivation systems for the V12 engine.

The start-stop system used on the Aventador is unique and comes fitted with high-performance capacitors known as "supercaps", which allow for a much faster start up than a conventional unit at 180 milliseconds or 0.18 seconds.

Lamborghini Aventador and Gallardo Performante Put Through Their Paces on the Italian Countryside

Carscoop subscribes by the dictum that you can never really have too much of a good thing. Especially when we are talking about supercars and even more so, if it concerns a Lamborghini or two…

So, while we have already shown you our fair share of raging bull models, we thought that a video of stealthy matte black Aventador (ed's note: our choice of paint if we ever win the lottery) and a retina-piercing orange Gallardo Performante, aka the open-top version of the Superleggera, wouldn’t go amiss.

Cop Doesn't Like the Sounds of a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 in Monaco

Exotic supercars like the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 are flashy, fast and of course, loud, sometimes too much for their own good, especially when their owners have opted for aftermarket goodies such as a more hardcore exhaust system to enhance their character.

Sure, most of us petrol heads wouldn't mind hearing the wonderful sounds of a howling V12 engine on the street, but that does not mean that others will or have to agree.

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Humiliates Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS Roadster

The good ol' tuning folks from Hennessey Performance have just published a new video showing a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 owned by Mario Williams of the Buffalo Bills going against a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster that belongs to a one Mario Mendias of My Fit Foods.

We are not sure if any of the two cars has been tuned by Hennessey or if they are completely stock (we are waiting for a response from the tuner) but the Lamborghini blows the Mercedes in every run.

Watch a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 go from Zero to 220km/h – 137mph on a Side Road

Approaching liftoff speeds on a bumpy side road that crosses between farm lands and residential properties and which is evidently used by slow moving tractors as well as regular passenger vehicles, isn't the brightest idea.

Even more so when there's a sign warning about an intersection ahead…

Luckily for these speed demons trying out a new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, nothing happened – though there's always a next time.
