Watch Steve Sutcliffe Drive the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster in Miami

Chopping the roof off a coupe is bound to result in reduced chassis stiffness no matter how many reinforcements the manufacturer throws in to compensate. Moreover, those reinforcements add weight, which results in inferior performance.

It’s a good thing then that the Lamborghini Aventador's all-new 6.5-liter V12 puts out a hefty 690HP, so the new Roadster is certainly not lacking in the performance department.

Watch Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster Parade in Miami

Money can’t buy you love or happiness, but it sure can get you in a Lamborghini, and if you’re the kind of person who wants and can afford the greatest and latest, an Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster at just US$300,000, may bring a ray of light or two (pun intended) in your life.

Even more so if you happen to live somewhere warm and sunny to enjoy open-top motoring. Like Miami, for example, where Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann unveiled the open-top version of the Aventador on Monday, January 28.

DMC's SOHO Package Facelifts 2004-2008MY Lamborghini Gallardo

It's hard to believe that the Lamborghini Gallardo has been with us for a decade now, with its replacement not due for another year.

While we wait for the new model, if you happen to own one of the early Gallardo supercars produced from 2003 to 2007 (2004-2008MY) and would like to bring it up to date with the first facelift made in 2008, German design and tuning house DMC offers a cosmetics only package under its SOHO lineup.

Lamborghini Gears Up For 50th Ann., Shares Carbon Tech with Boeing Dreamliner [w/Videos]

In 1963, Ferruccio Lamborghini presented the first car that bore his name: the 350 GTV. A few years later, he would turn the sports car industry on its head with the mid-engined Miura, which would set the template for the Countach, Diablo and Murcielago that followed and established Lamborghini as a supercar manufacturer.

Despite its impact in the automotive world, and specifically in the supercar segment, the Sant’ Agata Bolognese plant was a low-volume operation: from its inception until 2002, annual sales averaged a mere 250 units.

By 2007, however, this number has increased nine-fold, thanks in part to the addition of the smaller Gallardo to the range, while today the Aventador is the fastest-selling V12 Lambo ever and has an 18-month waiting list.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 Proves its Worth on the Snow

Who said Lamborghinis can't be driven on the snow? Well, perhaps owners of cars made in the pre-VW Group era (sans the LM002 SUV) or rear-wheel editions, but the Gallardo LP560 with its fairly advanced all-wheel drive system and equally importantly, the correct set of tires, can be a delight on nature's frosting.

Check Out This Ex-Mario Andretti Owned Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole

Most people credit the Lamborghini Miura with being the world’s first supercar. It is the Miura's successor though, the Countach, that wrote the handbook on how a supercar should be: extraordinarily flashy with the cabin set forward to accommodate the huge engine set longitudinally amidship making a wonderful, uncompromisingly loud scream when revved hard.

Ultra Rare Lamborghini Reventon V12 Roadster Taken for a Quick Spin

It's one of the most exclusive exotic supercars in the world, with Lamborghini having built only 21 coupe models of the Reventon, keeping one of those cars for itself to display at its museum, and 15 roadster versions, only three of which are right-hand drive (RHD).

For their first video, the gearheads over at The BHP Project had the unique opportunity to get behind the wheel of one of the RHD Reventon Roadsters and shared the experience with us.

Take a Ride in the Lamborghini Aventador LP760-4 Dragon Edition

There's no denying that the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 is one hot and special supercar, but sometimes, that's not enough for certain owners who like to further personalize their ride's looks and make it even faster than what it already is.

As we were informed from supercar-spotter and YouTube channel owner Shmee150, who tipped us off about his latest find, Hussam Maatouk of the Luxury Signatures exclusive dealership in Qatar is one of those people.

Santa Claus Chills Out with Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster

Like many other companies these festive days, Italian supercar-maker Lamborghini is also embracing the Christmas spirit with a video that focuses on Santa Claus.

We meet the man in the red suit chilling out in a bar in the North Pole on Christmas Eve at 6:30 PM ordering multiple milkshakes with no intention to leave. The clock ticks pass 10 PM, but Santa shows no desire to stop drinking milkshakes, much to the dismay of the grumpy barman.

DMC Applies J Speedster Looks on Limited Run Lamborghini Aventador LP900 SV

If you have a heart that beats strongly inside you, then you must have felt something about Lamborghini's €2.1 million Aventador J Speedster that was presented at this year's Geneva motor show.

However, wanting and being able to obtain the roofless Aventador J Speedster are two different things. Even if you could afford it, Lamborghini only built one specimen that was sold to an unnamed buyer even before we laid our eyes on the car.

Lamborghini Tells us the End is Approaching for the Gallardo with a Video

In a few weeks from now, the most commercially successful Lamborghini model of all times with more than 10,000 worldwide sales, will enter its 10th year of production, which the Italian carmaker says will be the last for the current Gallardo.

C&D Drives a Gallardo LP550-2 to Sample One of the Last Supercars with a Manual Gearbox

It’s an age-old story: technology and its advancements may be adopted by the general public but there are always some who will mourn the passing of the old ways.

There are still those who insist that vinyl records are way superior than compact discs, never mind that even that medium will soon join the one it replaced and give way to the fully-digital media.

In much the same way, there are people who bemoan the fact that semi-auto transmissions are becoming the new standard in supercars and manual gearboxes are getting pretty rare.

Hands On Video of Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster's Hardtop Roof

If anything, Lamborghini's designers had a walk in the park when they were asked to improve the Murcielago Roadster's so-called "umbrella" soft-top on the new Aventador LP700-4 Roadster.

For those of you wondering why, to put it simply, the open-top Murcielago's roof was a cosmetic and engineering joke, especially for a vehicle that cost in the region of $400,000.

Not that Lamborghini's engineers pushed themselves in any way with the Aventador LP700-4 Roadster, but at least the carbonfibre targa tops seem fairly easy to operate and mount on the exotic supercar's roof.

MT Takes Aventador to the Alps’ Highest Pass and the Ring Where its Namesake Bull Met its Demise

What would you do if Lamborghini handed you the keys of an orange Aventador for a week? Motor Trend’s Frank Marcus chose to take the 691HP supercar to a trip across Europe.

Marcus had already chosen his route. First, he drove to Monaco and then he climbed the Alps, where he passed through some of the roads used by the Tour de France bicycle race and reached one of Europe’s highest paved roads, at 2,802m.

Texas Hold'em: 1,150WHP Dodge Viper vs. 1,300WHP Lamborghini Gallardo

As if the Dodge Viper and the Lamborghini Gallardo supercars aren't powerful and fast enough in completely stock form, some owners opt to tune them to the extreme, sometimes going as far as even doubling their outputs.

During the Texas Invitational Fall 2012 Roll Race Event this past Sunday, October 14, there was a race held between two heavily modified versions of the previously mentioned sports cars, both of which featured twin-turbocharged engines.

DMC's Lamborghini Aventador Molto Veloce LP900 Debuts on Video

German sports and luxury car tuner DMC wants to cater to the needs of those who prefer to see its products on film and at least in some sort of action, with a new video for its rather colorful Lamborghini Aventador Molto Veloce LP900.

We do have to admit, though, the clip has far more music going on for it than what we would have preferred, especially given the Aventador's wonderful V12 music track and which is said to be further enhanced by DMC's titanium exhaust system that weighs only 1/10th of the stock unit (34kg).
