Lamborghini Aventador J shocks Geneva crowd

And by “shocks” we mean in a good way. This is the Lamborghini Aventador J, a one-off roadster that you can legally drive on the roads. The “J” designation reminds us of another one-off model, the Jota from 1970 which was the high performance edition of the epic Miura. “J” also refers to the “Appendix J” regulations that are defining the racing car class specifications.

Priced at about 2.1 million Euros, this roofless roadster has already been sold (shocking, right?) and the Italian automaker promised that they won’t make any similar prototypes so this will go down in history as a real one-off model. However, according to Autocar, Lambo will be launching in the future a roadster version of the Aventador but this is going to be less extreme.

As far as the differences between the normal (if we can call it “normal”) Aventador and this one-off J model are restricted to the extreme styling. The car has the same V12 6.5-liter engine that generates no less than 690 hp (less than the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta) and comes with the same 4WD system. The pushrod suspension has been tweaked a little bit in this one-off version.

The Aventador J has the carbon fiber monocoque of the regular version but as you would expect it has been thoroughly modified in order to accommodate the roofless structure. They also worked on the bodywork for increasing the aerodynamic grip. The roadster is lighter than its coupe sibling due to the reason that it has no roof, no air conditioning system, no windscreen, no satellite navigation system and no stereo system.

The Lamborghini Aventador J comes with upward-opening doors which compared to the regular version are a lot thinner but we don’t know by how much. The J edition is 120 mm longer and 26 mm lower than the standard version, measuring 4900 mm in length, 1110 mm in height and 2030 mm wide, making it the lowest vehicle that Lambo has ever made.
