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.

And that one in a million chance came when one of our scoop photographers was waiting for a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 to pass by somewhere in the Arctic Circle and there, it happened; it crashed into the snow!

Our Spies Capture a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster Prototype

It's no secret that the next step for Lamborghini is the presentation of a roadster version of its new Aventador LP700-4 supercar and our scoop photographers have just landed the first shots of a camouflaged prototype testing in northern Sweden.

The said test car was fitted with fake roof parts to conceal the fact that it is the roadster model, but a close look at the pictures reveals that there's something different about the top of this Aventador.

Our spies tell us that the removable top looked like it was made out of carbon fiber instead of the cloth top found on the Murcielago Roadster.

The Roadster version of the Aventador LP700-4 is expected to be slightly heavier than the coupe iteration due to the necessary strengthening of the chassis to compensate for the loss of the roof.
