Here it is! The new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster has been officially introduced in Miami prior its premiere at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show.

Based on the Coupe variant, the new open-top Italian supercar benefits from a two-piece carbon fiber hard top. Lamborghini also provides a new exterior finish called Azzuro Thetis blue which is inspired from the 1968 Miura.

You will have to open or close it manually but that’s a small price to pay as there it’s more room and the car is lighter because a special mechanism able to operate the roof is not needed anymore.
