Unveiled at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, the Aventador SVJ Roadster takes everything that made the SVJ coupé iconic and adds another layer of drama. It stays true to the ‘Super Veloce Jota’ name, delivering that raw, track-bred performance with the added theatre of open-air V12 motoring. Despite the removable roof, it barely concedes anything to the coupé – 0-62mph is only a tenth slower and it still charges on to 217mph. Thanks to its lightweight carbon fibre roof, the Roadster adds just 50kg, meaning the performance remains virtually untouched.

A single electrically operated rear window separates you from the masterpiece behind your head. Close it for calm, or drop it to flood the cabin with that naturally aspirated V12 soundtrack – every upshift crack and downshift flare becomes part of the experience.

ALA 2.0 aero and the same active chassis tech from the SVJ coupé ensure the Roadster is far more than a showpiece. It’s a high-downforce, corner-hungry weapon that embodies Lamborghini at its most extroverted and emotional. For collectors and purists, the SVJ Roadster represents the ultimate expression of the Aventador era – loud, rare, and already a modern icon.
