The Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster. Even for those unfamiliar with the latest open-top iteration of this raging bull from Sant’agata Bolognese, the Italian company’s name alone conjures up sexy supercar dreams and mind-numbing price tags. Whereas a Ferrari evokes bleeding rosso-red fantasies of elegantly passionate motoring, a Lamborghini cuts through your daydreams with a scythe-like sharpness and singularity of vision seldom seen elsewhere in the automotive world. The SVJ Roadster helps set this vision into play as it's endowed with sublime features.

The Last of the Great Dozen

Via Autoweek

In what may be one of the last naturally-aspirated V12’s ever to grace the face of the earth, the Aventador’s all-aluminum mill is fortified and enhanced in the SVJ to produce its earth-shattering 759-hp at a blistering 8500 rpm, all the while serenading you with its shrieking Italian operetta. The lovely mechanical tunes emanate mere inches behind your head, and should you desire to remove the carbon fiber panels that play the role of a roof, every hair on your neck will stand at attention.

But Wait There's More

Alas, this is not a one trick pony, or...rather bull. It has several tricks up its ostentatious Italian sleeve: intelligent AWD and all-wheel steering ensure handling prowess that belies the rather portly gait of this mostro, and can get you out of trouble faster than you can utter mamma mia! Lamborghini’s spectacular active aerodynamics system (ALA) employs many openings and variable surfaces to assist in road adhesion creating optimal aero efficiency in all conditions. Supplemented by adjustable shocks, Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tires as wide as a Fiat 500 augmented with carbon brakes, the SVJ tries hard, and mostly succeeds in justifying its nearly three-quarter of a million dollar price tag.

Lamborghinis exist because they embody many a schoolboy’s dreams, and are tangible and romantic personifications of a company that dallies in creating lusty objects of sheer irresponsibility. And the SVJ represents the pinnacle of what a singular focus on speed in spectacular and uncommon style can conjure. The lucky 800 owners who will get to park this indomitable and wildly excessive automotive anomaly in their stately garages will surely agree.
