Everyone expecting there would be some kind of droptop Aventador – after all, what’s the point of a supercar if the people who bullied you in high school can’t see how rich and successful you are? But we weren’t expecting this.
The Lamborghini Aventador J is actually a one-off, already spoken-for model that will doubtlessly end up somewhere where an Emir makes the laws of the land. It’s fast. There’s no radio, nav system, roof or windows. You will have to wear a helmet to keep the sandstorms out of your face. There will be a proper Aventador roadster coming at some point. The asking price of $2.1 million USD has already been paid for, so that’s it for the Aventador J, until we find it on the internet, wrapped around a lamp post.
AutoGuide.com, in addition to graciously providing photography for the Geneva coverage, has a great video of the Aventador J, which you can check out here
And that pointy front-end will disturb luxurious pedestrian knees at intersections. The safety trolls would want it to be bulbous and padded.
I don’t know if I’d ever want a modern Lamborghini, but I do know that I’d want it in exactly that color. Wow.
The Lamborghini Mach 5.
If they went ahead and left out the mirrors, could they up the charge to 2.5 mil?
Looks like Optimus Sub-Prime. Gag…
Gorgeous. That shape is striking–catches the eye even when it’s a tiny little thumbnail.
Go Speed Racer! Go Speed Racer! Go Speed Racer Goooooo!
Where will Chim Chim sit?
Lamborghini chops the roof of, deletes the radio and sat-nav, and saved so little weight that they’re embarrassed to say how little it really is.
It’s supposed to be a sportsbike for two, but the top speed is some 30 mph short of the original, and well short of sportsbikes with less than a fourth of the power.
2.1 fricking million dollars for a supercar that’s more useless than the original, slower, and still wider than a bus?
Lucky sod. I want one.
It looks more like a b-movie spaceship than a car. I’m definitely on the fence about this one.
Not lamp post, a sand dune. If I remember P.J. O’Rourke correctly.
