Its coupé stablemate took the Nürburgring-Nordschleife production car record lap-time and the roadster is no less a futuristic, driver’s car. Benchmark performance comes from the most powerful series production V12-engined car produced to date by Lamborghini, outputting 770 hp at maximum 8,500 rpm. The SVJ Roadster delivers 720 Nm of torque at 6,750 rpm, with a weight-to-power ratio of 2.05 kg/hp. The SVJ accelerates from standing to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and from 0 to 200 km/h in 8.8 seconds. A top speed of more than 350 km/h is complemented by a braking distance of 100 km/h to 0 in 31 meters.
A Ferrari derived V6 twin turbo upfront, a wide body from Mansory and carbon fibre embellishments very tastefully done front and rear. No trident Levante has looked so menacing. The blacked out grill treatment brings to mind another mythical creature and I somehow hear him say ‘Luke, I am your father’. Then the engine fires up and I am convinced that Darth Vader would drive this when amongst us mortals.
