Go Back | Lamborghini Aventador!
At the Geneva Motor Show, fans of the raging bull were expecting to witness the touch down of the Lamborghini Aventador convertible. The open-air version of the Lamborghini Aventador was not showcased at the Geneva Motor Show but don’t let that fool you into the thinking there isn’t going to be one! Sources with knowledge on the matter have told Italian publication Quattroroute that a Targa-style detachable roof is being designed that is a two-piece construction. The removable top was designed because Lamborghini was interested in preserving the engine cover design, thereby reducing development time and the delay in reaching the market. The two-piece roof panel will be made using lightweight carbon fiber material. The question that remains to be answered is whether Lamborghini will provide on-board storage for this piece of bodywork. If Lamborghini fails to do so, the Aventador convertible isn’t what the editorial of AutoMiddleEast.com call ‘rain proof.’ The Quattroroute report adds that there are no changes under the car’s engine cowl meaning the same V12 engine that produces 700+ bhp will drive the four wheels through a seven speed automatic gearbox. The convertible model could make its world premiere at either the Frankfurt Motor Show or the Paris Auto Salon in the second half of 2012. [Source - Quattroruote.it] Tags: Lamborghini Aventador |
