Lamborghini Aventador J is a One-Off Speedster for a Very, Very Rich and Lucky Buyer
And when Lamborghini says a one-off, it means it as there is only one car, no prototypes and no other example for the Lamborghini Museum. However, for the less fortunate millionaires seeking an open top experience, they'll be happy to learn that the Italian automaker is also preparing a "regular" roadster version of the Aventador.
The special model displayed in Geneva is named after the FIA world motorsport organization's ‘Appendix J’ regulations that define the technical specification of racecars in certain classes.
Lamborghini's designers started by removing the roof along with the windshield and largely redesigning the carbon fiber monocoque, while also adding two safety bars behind the seats.
There's more carbon fiber to be found both on the restyled exterior as well as the interior including the special bucket seats.
On the outside, Lamborghini says that virtually every part was redesigned. The Italian exotic rides on new specially developed 20-inch rims at the front and 21-inch at the rear shod in extra beefy tires. It measures 4,890mm in length, 2,030mm wide and just 1,110mm tall.
The Aventador J loses many luxury amenities such as the air conditioning and the navigation systems not only to lower the supercar's weight down to 1,575kg (3,742 pounds), but also to provide a more extreme driving experience.
What remains the same as the Aventador LP700-4 coupe is the 691bhp (700PS) 6.5-litre V12 lurking behind the passenger compartment.

Mansory Carbonado is a Twin-Turbocharged “Stealth” Aventador with 1,233HP
type='html'>
If you’re not one of the three billionaires who have shelled out nearly five million bucks forLamborghini’s Veneno special, the Germany-based Mansory tuning house may have just the thing for you.It’s called the Carbonado and, like the Veneno, is based on the Aventador LP700-4. It features a reworked bodywork that is 40 mm wider at the front and 50 mm at the rear, newly designed skirts and proprietary bonnet, bumpers, engine cover, rear diffuser and front wings.
Mansory claims that it’s the first time that a carbon fiber weave with a stealth-look is used on a car and, although the Carbonado is far from restrained in its looks, next to the OTT Veneno you could almost say it justifies the “stealth” description.
Despite that, it will smoke the 5 million Lambo. Sant’ Agata may have increased the stock V12’s power by a modest 40HP but Mansory has bolted two turbochargers and replaced the pistons, connecting rods, crank, crankshaft and cylinder heads with motorsport items.
All this have increased power to 1,233HP (1,250PS) for a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration time of 2.6 seconds and a 380 km/h (236 mph) top speed. Torque is electronically limited to 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) – presumably to keep the transmission from exploding…
The Carbonado rides on 20-inch front and 21-inch rear alloys wrapped in 255/30 and 345/25 Pirelli P Zero tires respectively. Finally, the cabin has been refurnished in soft leather and carbon and the aircraft-style starter button has been relocated from the center console to the roof. There's no word on the pricing yet but we bet it will be significantly cheaper (not to mention prettier) than Lamborghini's 50th anniversary "gift".

How a Lamborghini Aventador SV and a Ferrari F12berlinneta Handle the 'Ring's Bumpy Karussell
Here's a video that Lamborghini fans will no doubt love to share with their Ferrari counterparts.Filmed by Nordschleife regulars from the YouTube channel "Bridge to Gantry", it shows what is believed to be a prototype for the Lamborghini Aventador SV (see our scoop pictures here) speeding through the Nürburgring's bumpalicsiousKarussell bend, completely disregarding the painful and obviously costly scrapes to the extended front lip spoiler.
In the second half of the clip, we see how a Ferrari F12berliennta handles the same turn – with its emergency lights on going no faster than the legal top speed of a moped (45 km/h or 28mph).
Of course, we don't know what's going on as there's a strong possibility the Ferrari experienced some sort of mechanical trouble, but it's funny nonetheless...
