Lamborghini has just presented, in Switzerland, the eccentric Aventador J. My dears, it's 700 horsepower!!!
This is the main attraction of the Italian brand for the 82nd edition of the Geneva Motor Show. Based on the Aventador LP 700-4, Lamborghini has lost its mind – or should I say the roof? – and created the “J” version of this model, a true sports car without a hood or front windscreen. Don't look like that… You read, the Aventador J is an authentic convertible without any kind of hood to protect you from the rain or any other inconvenience.
Have you ever imagined traveling all over the south of France, on a beautiful summer night, with this toy? The entire Côte d’Azur was going to have its eyes on you. Al Pacino, which is Al Pacino, was going to be completely neglected at that point.
After running out of fuel and causing Mr. Al Pacino's suicide, he would take off his helmet (yes, in order to ride this machine you must wear a helmet) and tell the world that his “boy” owns a V12 engine! ! 6.5 liters with 700 hp of power and 690 Nm of maximum torque. Ah!!! And it exceeds 300 km/h of maximum speed without major problems… As soon as I said these magic numbers, I would have a “free-pass” to all the parties, restaurants, casinos and shows in the area. Doubt? So try it out…
Well, it won't be possible, will it? And it's not for the price in question, because 2.2 million euros is nothing these days, the real problem is there's only one copy of this super limited version. So, either he has a big “wedge” or he will have to keep dreaming about us…
