The Aventador and V12 against tenor
proposed a philharmonic concert sal ... |
Private roof and grafted a nasty spine, the Aventador Roadster V12 seems even more bestial than the coupe. Wearing a mini-spoiler, the "Lambo" 700 hp, up through the air at 350 km / h is a real airplane without wings. And offers two tickets for a concert outdoors.
Divinely bitten by the head of home design, Filippo Perini, the Aventador Roadster seems more "crushed" the cut from which it originated.
Beautiful optical illusion - the dimensions of the two models are identical - due to the lack of roof and above the steep windscreen. In fact, the sensation of riding head out of the cockpit is real and pretty darn nice. Legal speeds, it goes without saying. At the rate of a "delinquent", swirls become much more troublesome, even if the small center fin and the tiny window - it can be electrically eclipse - located in the rear head restraints demonstrate their merits, especially when the front windows are also collected. If your lady can really withstand the most constant air currents, this roadster can be easily disassembled into a style of his eye carbon roof consists of two parts twinkling light (less than 6 kg each), and s 'store millimeter in the trunk before. But then ... even the place to drag your toothbrush! While handling is not done of a button from your seat, as the Ferrari 458 Spider or McLaren 12C, but what good is because the majority of Aventador Roadster will probably never know the rain ...

Headwear stored with the door scissor leaving a wide passage, slip inside this high-tech cockpit, the chiseled geometric lines, is much more easy than the coupe. Good ergonomics of the cockpit that I find naturally "my" position. However, I am far from being a fan of 100% digital instrumentation, which lacks clarity in its entirety, except for the large tachometer situated right in the crosshairs. Not to mention the imposing center console full of buttons of all kinds and the control panel (navigation, radio, etc.). Difficult to read when the sun hits the upright. Still, it would take a lot more to spoil my fun. The start of the Lamborghini V12 6.5 is done, as in the cut, via the Start hidden under a red trigger button. Top-gun atmosphere! Waaaooohh ... the rude awakening of the 48 valves and the joyful sound of the exhaust valves open at 4,000 r / min, generously fill the cockpit open. What up! Even when stationary, the Aventador Roadster is scary.

Taking off gently Strada mode, intended for "cushy" or safer driving (70% of the traction on the rear and 30% up on the front), I'm really surprised by the softness of the SRI robot box seven speeds. With its independent players who are already anticipating the next gear change, she is also a delicate automatic converter or a dual-clutch gearbox. However, it "looks" a bit when it imposes a quick downshift (kickdown), and provides, in this case, to reckless shots. Damage to the fluidity walk hitherto provided. Especially as the management does not offer too resistance and Stop & Start system supercapacitor (battery capable of restoring the power instantly) is rather quiet in operation. Thence to pass for a city ... But for a little fun on tour means, enclenchons Sport mode, which emphasizes the driving pleasure and agility. Here, the torque can be distributed up to 90% on the rear and 10% front. The full Aventador turns into almost total propulsion.

The exhaust valves open wide, management is more direct, the response quicker throttle, ESP stability control allows more freedom to "figure", the shifting is done above system in automatic mode and faster, while downshifts are accompanied by a sudden gas well balanced. Nevertheless, the ISR transmission is far from reaching the execution speed to that of a dual-clutch Ferrari. Even if you opt for the manual mode Corsa (distribution to 80% on the rear and 20% front), one that optimizes performance with gear changes with no loss of engine speed, but causes also violent battering transmission. Still, there you can enjoy the full potential of the V12 "Lambo" naturally aspirated. What strength! 2,000 r / min until the red zone at 8,500 r / min, it is a constant thrust that will crescendo. The 6.5 liter is never explosive, but always there, without fail. And metallic sound, more and more acute and powerful riding in the towers, is a real delight for music lovers. There is no photo, roadster takes over the cut side wave music. And it has nothing to envy rather than section dynamic qualities.

Coupe or roadster, no matter: access to
the cockpit of an Aventador is made ... |
Because of its central hull all carbon, extremely rigid, which are grafted on the front and rear aluminum, the Aventador Roadster uses some reinforcements (deck behind the seats, transmission tunnel) to compensate for the "loss" roof. So, this LP 700-4 uncapped weighs only 50 kg more with always a perfect weight distribution (43% on front, 57% on the rear). This "big" roadster more than 1600 kg, with a well-calibrated and communicative steering, always proves accurate in his tracks, remains loyal in its support set and even shows some agility. And despite its impressive appearance, he reassures the highest point, helped by the generous and effective Pirelli P Zero, developed especially. To top it all, its suspension settings do not forget to maintain a certain comfort. Who would have thought for a beast 700 hp capable of reaching 350 km / h! You have to admit, the Aventador Roadster is extraordinary. As its price, which is equal to the benefits and exclusivity: � 358,800 or � 44,252 more than the coupe (March 2013 rate). It is not under the hooves of a horse, but when you know that in 2012 Lamborghini Aventador has already sold 922 (including 29 in France ... for 26 Gallardo!) To � 310,000 minimum, there is no concern about the future of the latest in Sant'Agata Bolognese. It seems that there is a crisis ...
