Production Numbers Triple That of the Coupe. Yet, Still Only Nine Units in Total.

As foreshadowed,Lamborghinihas announced the open-top special model, the Lamborghini "Veneno Roadster," as a highlight of its 50th anniversary. Production is set at nine units, as previously rumored, three times the number of the "Veneno." All units have reportedly already been allocated to their owners.


As the name clearly indicates, this model is the open-top version of the "Veneno," which made its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in March. As the "Roadster" name implies, the open-top styling is fundamental. While the LamborghiniAventador LP 700-4 Roadsterfeatured detachable carbon roof panels, this model offers no such protection from the elements. It is conceived exclusively for open-air driving.

The body is based on the Veneno, with minor differences in the side windows, which are cut shorter, and the engine cover. However, the exterior design, which seems to express mechanical functionality, appears even more emphasized by the absence of a roof. The distinctive design behind the cockpit, reminiscent of an F1 car and indicating its two-seater configuration, also incorporates rollover bars to protect occupants.


The powertrain is also shared with the Veneno: a 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted longitudinally in the mid-ship position, producing a maximum output of 750 hp. This is paired with a 7-speed, two-pedal "ISR (Independent Shifting Rod) transmission," which can be switched between five driving modes. Like its racing counterpart, it features pushrod suspension and Lamborghini's signature all-wheel-drive system.

Furthermore, it inherits the Veneno's use of lightweight yet rigid carbon fiber reinforced polymer resin for the monocoque and body panels. Throughout the body, Lamborghini's innovative new materials, such as Forged Composite and CarbonSkin, are extensively employed.



The two lightweight bucket seats are crafted from Lamborghini's patented Forged Composite material. CarbonSkin is used for the entire cockpit, parts of the seats, and the headliner, conforming perfectly to complex shapes and contributing to weight reduction.

The exterior design, made even more imposing by its open-top nature, incorporates cutting-edge technology for aerodynamics, downforce generation, and cooling. Lamborghini insists that this is not merely for show.



Indeed, the Veneno Roadster achieves the same top speed of 355 km/h as the coupe version, the "Veneno," despite the lack of a roof. There is no performance deficit due to its open-top configuration. However, the body reinforcement required for the open-top design has increased the weight by 40 kg to 1,490 kg, resulting in a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 2.9 seconds, a mere 0.1 second slower than the Veneno.


While we mentioned that all nine production units have already been spoken for, for reference, the price of this Veneno Roadster is 3.3 million euros (excluding tax), approximately 443.5 million Japanese yen. Although any body color can be ordered at the owner's request, the red finish shown here is "Rosso Veneno," a color developed exclusively for the Veneno Roadster.
