Called a “one of a kind piece of art” by Lamborghini, the open-top
Aventador has tiny windscreens and a body modified for maximum
performance. Based on a similar light weight but very large carbon fiber
chassis as the Aventador, it’s slightly narrower and uses aerodynamic
changes on the front and rear bumper to improve down-force.
A function-over form machine (even if it is beautiful), the Aventador J,
as it’s called, has no navigation or audio system. Thinner and lighter
doors drop even more weight and Lamborghini has targeted a dry weight of under
3,500 lbs – not bad for a car with a 6.5-liter V12 engine. Power is
rated identically to the Aventador with 700 hp on tap.
Painted in a chrome red with carbon fiber detailing, the 20-inch
front and 21-inch rear wheels are center locking and get carbon fiber
inserts to maximize cooling of the brakes.
As for that mysterious J in its name, it comes from the FIA
motorsports rule book, where “Appendix J” details the specifications of
the different classes of race cars. That said, while Lamborghini is calling it
a race car, the Aventador J is street legal.
Want one? Too bad, this is
the one and only Aventador J and it’s already been sold confirmed
company CEO Stephan Winkelmann at it’s unveiling. The price? A serious
$2.1 million.
