Description
The Aventador LP700-4 Roadster occupies a unique place in Lamborghini’s history. It was the final naturally aspirated V12 Roadster before the introduction of rear-wheel steering, hybrid assistance and ever-increasing layers of technology. As a result, it retains an honesty and mechanical character that has become increasingly sought after by enthusiasts.
What truly sets this particular example apart is its specification. Finished in Azzurro Thetys, the iconic launch colour of the Aventador Roadster, it is without doubt one of the most elegant combinations we have encountered. The subtle metallic blue transforms the car’s dramatic bodywork, bringing a sophistication that is rarely associated with Lamborghini while still allowing every crease and angle of Filippo Perini’s design to stand out. Paired with a Sabbia leather interior, the contrast is exceptional, creating a specification that feels every bit as special today as it did when the model was first unveiled.
The factory carbon fibre exterior package complements the paintwork perfectly, while the silver Dianthus forged wheels, transparent engine cover and carbon ceramic braking system complete a configuration that is both understated and unmistakably purposeful. Inside, electrically adjustable heated seats, the Sensonum premium audio system, front axle lift, navigation, a reversing camera and front and rear parking sensors ensure the car is as rewarding to own as it is to admire.
Having covered 34, 000 miles, this Aventador is accompanied by a full Lamborghini main dealer service history, with its latest service completed by Lamborghini Bristol this summer. The history file reflects the standard of maintenance you would expect from a car of this calibre.
Powered by Lamborghini’s legendary 6. 5-litre naturally aspirated V12, producing 700PS through the distinctive ISR transmission, the LP700-4 Roadster delivers an experience that simply cannot be replicated today. The immediacy of the engine, the theatrical gearbox and the sense of occasion that accompanies every journey are all defining characteristics of a Lamborghini from an era before electrification.
Examples specified like this are few and far between. With its launch colour finish, beautifully judged factory options and complete Lamborghini main dealer history, this is a particularly handsome LP700-4 Roadster that represents the model exactly as it should be.
