Lamborghini Aventador SVJ 63 Roadster Revealed In Pebble Beach


Monterey Car Week continues as Lamborghini has taken the wraps off the new Aventador SVJ 63 Roadster.

Following in the footsteps of last year’s SVJ 63 coupe, the roadster is a limited edition supercar that pays tribute to the company’s founding in 1963.


Jointly created by Lamborghini’s Centro Stile and Ad Personam teams, the Aventador SVJ 63 Roadster will be available in eight exclusive “design expressions.” Each will feature matte or shiny carbon fiber on the windshield frame, engine cover and roof. The car also has an SVJ 63 livery and special Leirion forged wheels with a matte titanium finish.

Interior changes are minor, but drivers will find carbon fiber trim, CarbonSkin accents and one of three different Alcantara color schemes.  There’s also individually numbered badges.


Power is provided by a familiar 6.5-liter V12 engine that produces 759 hp (566 kW / 770 PS) and 531 lb-ft (720 Nm) of torque. It is connected to a seven-speed transmission which sends power to a standard all-wheel drive system.  This setup enables the roadster to rocket from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 2.9 seconds, before hitting a top speed in excess of 217 mph (350 km/h).

Production will be limited to 63 units and the first cars are slated to be delivered in 2020.  However, you likely won’t have to worry about that as all the models were sold before the car’s unveiling.


If you didn’t manage to snag the Aventador SVJ 63 Roadster, perhaps you’ll have better luck with the Huracán EVO GT Celebration.  It pays tribute to the Huracán GT3 EVO which “triumphed at the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring for two consecutive seasons.”

As a result, the special edition features an eye-catching livery that draws inspiration from the race car used by the Grasser Racing Team.  The model also has 20-inch center locking wheels and number 11 badges.


Customers looking for something more exclusive can request a Lamborghini Squadra Corse shield be applied to the roof and framed by flags from Italy and the United States.  Owners can also request laurel wreaths that highlight Lamborghini’s wins at Daytona and Sebring.

Moving into the cabin, there’s special sport seats with Alcantara upholstery and contrast stitching.  The model also has a carbon fiber plaque on the rear fire wall that echoes the one on the roof.


The Huracán EVO GT Celebration will be available exclusively in North America and production will be limited to 36 units.  The first deliveries are planned for early next year.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as ...

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel...

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu...
