Where better to try out the very big and very powerful Lamborghini Aventador Roadster than a race track in the USA? With a mid-mounted 690bhp V12 and four-wheel drive, it pays to have plenty of space to explore its limits. With extraordinary looks and a bombastic engine it turns more heads than almost any other car, even in Miami. Steve Sutcliffe delivers his verdict on the 210mph convertible.

Sutcliffe is an absolute legend ......where's he at these days?!
what i always liked about this guy was the fact that he knows what lamborghinis are about. outright speed and crazy style. he knows the brands main emphasis is on the engine and nothing but the engine... they have their flaws... but it seduces you, you don't care about its faults because it does what it was built to do better than anything else out there
This is pure power
1. It's the best car in the world according to that person.
2. It's a brilliant piece of engineering, and you can't argue with that for a second.
3. It sounds brilliant.
4. I can bet any money that you haven't driven either of the cars mentioned, so you don't know how either feels to drive.
5. Why can't people enjoy more than one car at the same time? I mean, I love the Zonda Cinque, but I'm not going to argue that it's the best car in the world all the time, because I'm not that small minded.
Wish I bought the recent winning powerball ticket in California. I would love to own one of these and give away a few at the same time
Remember me when you win...
of course!
Me too haha...
Lh
i have never in my life seen a more magnificently designed car.
NO MUSIC!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I am glad you guys fixed the audio of this review. ( even tough the soundtrack of the v12 was outstanding )
Good for you! I've heard them on numerous occasions and I am sticking with my opinion! I wasn't talking about driving on a track when I talked about drivability, what I am saying is, is that the 4WD system enables people to use their car not just when it's dry and sunny. The first time I drove a 458 Italia was on very wet roads in northern Italy, and I kept loosing traction. In the Aventador with its 4WD, such surfaces are no problem at all.
Did Lamborghini bring a RHD Aventador roadster to the Miami release just for the journalists who live in countries where RHD is predominant?
That's what people used to say when they ran out of arguments. So, good job defending your point. I hope your TH-cam channel to be massively succesful so You can buy a very expensive (Audi) Aventador.
it's the ultimate batmobile. Not a fan of roadsters, but i admit, this one looks great.
Miami is where Lamborghini opted to officially launch the roadster. Naturally, since there would be several potential buyers and journalists from varying locations around the world, they would have brought both left and right hand drive variants :)
How'd you get a right hand drive Lambo in Miami?
Steve Sutcliffe - one of the best reviewers out there..
i agree, with a single clutch the gear change is so much more dramatic and it's nice to feel a kick at the back of your head in a supercar
Right handed steering in Miami. I like it!
Lamborghini Aventador Roadster owners, what is my dream car?
The first 3 words
I quite like the idea of the company using a single clutch transmission, the greater feedback you get in upshifts (through a jerk) gives the car a more mechanical feel.
That wasn't your argument. You said this car was literally an Audi, not that it used Audi tech. What specifically about this car makes it an Audi?
THE BEST CAR EVER
I love those drifts! I am also looking forward for Cabrera, the Gallardo replacement.
yeh I agree Steve. Supercars are meant to be outrageous and downright ridiculous. And Lamborghini always manages this (at least with their flagship cars)
That is where the roadster was unveiled, maybe that's why
wow feel the speed and the wind
Homestead Miami track in the USA but with a RHD car!
Fantastic car and tremendous engine sound
The God of all supercars!
You're probably right though nothing compares to the feel you get from the manual gearbox,but that's just me.I've driven both dual and single clutch transmission and they're fast through change upshift or downshift faster than a really good manual change,but the feel you get from the stick (especially when you go down 2 or maybe 3 gears) is something that no DCT can compare but then again that's just my opinion.
Honestly, 458, mp 4-12c spyders are great, but one thing I hated about the murc and the aventador spyders is the fact that a lot of people have their forehead sticking out of the top for some reason.
I love twin clutches, and have one in my daily driver. But in a car like this it actually sounds a lot cooler with a single clutch and the longer gap between gears. If you listen to a modern Ferrari with twin clutch it doesn't sound as dramatic because it changes too quickly. On a track it is the better transmission no doubt, but this isn't a track car. The shift times are still plenty fast enought for almost anyone and faster than a manual.
If Robocop had a new weekend car...this would be it.. looks so mean! Definitely a "get out of my way" machine
Everyone wants to know subjective opinion of the test driver. Its just that even the show presenters want to stress the real magnitude of music the engine produces. :) Though I agree, the situation is a bit problematic !
I'm ultimately jealous of this man!
Thank you for the review. Loved every second of it. Reviews just become a tad more reliable when there's the negative points of the car being shared.
Lamborghini's single clutch deisgn, i think is what keeps it an animal.
the rapid dual clutch is nice, and smooth but it will not feel like a lamborghini.
the roadsters and convertables. have to have a ridged chassis base on no structure in the roof. which reduces the flex in the frame. if your smooth on the rpm's it drives nice.
but when you drive the car fast it will tear you apart. just remember your driving bull. not a magic carpet. I want a car to scare.
Think I found my poster car WOW Autocar nice review.
I said that the person you responded to thought so, not you. The gearbox adds to the character to the car. The four wheel drive adds to the drivability of the car (to add to that, you still don't know what's it's like to drive). I have driven both the 458 Spider and the Italia and I've gone for a ride in a Lamborghini Aventador, so I know that the Aventador sounds better. I even have a video of when me and my friend took his Aventador for a spin.. With that said, I am looking in to buying a 458.
3:49 love that spoiler
re-upload? What happened?
owhowhowh best lambo everr
what a beastly car!!
Lamborghini Aventador number one
those intakes at the front must be the largest on any car on the road. i would love to have one...
No, the J was a one off Aventador, the new Roadster is a production car which will be built hopefully to the masses.
Absolutely, no doubt about it....
355 rear tires? Damn...These are some GARGANTUAN tires! only those of the Veyron I can imagine are wider.
The Aventador sounds like a modern day Diablo to me o:
Right handed steering in Miami. I like it.
Gallardo is an Audi... this is a lambo... maybe not a 100% lamborghini, but it is a lambo.
I want this man's job.
I could not have said it better myself!
355/25/19 tires- $600 EACH
355kph=217mph
Coach & Horses Baby!
Bella hyper Avy Roadster , simply superb !!!!!!
i hate it that now every car video review from basically every channel includes the phrase "having said that"
You shouldn't try to convince me, you should try to convince yourself.
Though I love convertibles...this car, I would get only the hardtop version. The lines are uninterrupted and the rigidity is a plus in hardtop version.
I think the only real criticism of this car, which is also voiced here, is the fact that the Aventador hasn't got a dual clutch. So... what's the chances of the Aventador having a dual clutch in future?
"I think they'd get sued" lmao.
I hope Lambo keeps single clutch. Single Clutches give a car that brutal feel unlike dual clutches kind of make a car feel more childish in comparison.
Such a beautiful car and such a punish-er to drive!
he said Cats Eye that a reflector on the road
My dream car
italians cars r awesome
it's a shame they didn't stabilize the in car video
I want that car in my life
I love the raging bull ahh! the name doesn't mean raging bull LOL!!! sorry I forgot!
STEVE, you re a ........lucky guy :)))
I would have one of these rather than the Coupé everyday.
thats exactly what i have been trying to tell people.. you referring to the 430 i believe?
5:02 is it or did he just say "run over a cat" to test the noise cars make, wait til animals rights hear about this lol.
Roadster looks much more sexy than a Coupé on this Lambo.
i love this car!
No, Aventador J is a one off. Plus, Aventador *Roadster has a windshield a will most likely be mass produced.
Gotta love a journalist who complains about a car he can't afford.
how is it so quiet when hes talking in the car lol, voice over?
You'd have even more crisp engine carachteristics if it was tested in Europe on proper high octane gasoline, not on US 92 "Premium" in a RHD European spec car.
and some idiots actually thought they didnt put the audio in on purpose...
replaying every single clip.. that is why i went to topgear.
2:18 you can tell lmabo has some effect on him
Bad ass car
When is this badboy on sale- wanna get one
Put the duel clutch in it Lamborghini and be done with it.
That is a 100% sexy car but the Coupe is 120% sexy ;D
Um, incorect. Less than 50 milliseconds is 0.05 seconds....
Why, and i really mean it.. Why all the guys that make reviews of cars want to talk like the guys of Top Gear??
They love the car for one thing, they hate it for another... -.-
Come on, say something original, find your own way to present a car.
What's the difference between double clutch and single clutch
If you can't wait you can pay over $700K for one right now.
Epic car
I wouldn't mind if my Skoda had some technology from Porsche, but I would if my Porsche had some technology from Skoda. There is a big difference.
When its in corsa (track) mode, and it shifts in .5 seconds, it really isnt a long gap is it?
Aventador J has no windshield -.- Roadster has one BIG difference
i think the roof is a retractable hardtop one
Says the guy with an RS4 as a pic
good car, bad review!! every car he review was like .. ABSOLUTE SOMETHING! BEAUTIFUL. I mean . who doesn't know its a Dang Fast machine.
When I see this model I reminded Batman ))...
But Gallardo race car, I like more...
Why the volume is so low?
you have to manually put 2 pieces of the roof on it lol.
