The Unique Majesty of Aventador J

The Aventador J, aptly nicknamed the “speedster,” was the cynosure of all eyes at Marbella’s Supercar Owners Circle event. Originally showcased at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, this model wasn’t just about turning heads and dropping jaws with its staggering price tag of 2.2 million Euros before taxes.

Even more awe-inspiring was the owner’s commitment to this machine. As reported by TFJJ, a jaw-dropping $10 million offer was previously turned down by the owner, underlining a profound dedication and love for this unique beast. This is a testament to an enthusiast’s lengths to preserve the extraordinary.

Reventon Roadster: The Epitome of Elegance and Exclusivity

While the Aventador J drew gasps, the Reventon Roadster wasn’t far behind in stopping admirers in their tracks. Although not as elusive as its counterpart, its unparalleled allure makes it a jewel in the crown of Lamborghini, stopping traffic and conversations alike wherever it goes.

The Supercar Owners Circle Meetup is not just another car event

The Supercar Owners Circle event in Marbella isn’t a casual meetup. This gathering stands as a bastion for the crests and crests of the automotive world, an elite club dedicated to the most luxurious and powerful supercars. And what could be a more fitting venue than Marbella, with its luxury resorts and mesmerizing coastline, serving as a canvas for these two legends?

The Lamborghini Aventador J & Reventon Roadster’s joint arrival in Marbella is more than just a testament to Lamborghini’s prowess. It represents an unmatched passion for automotive excellence, both from the creators and the dedicated owners. As these two legends graced the streets, they symbolized what it truly means to be at the pinnacle of automotive luxury and performance.

The post Lamborghini Aventador J – Specs & Performance appeared first on LamboCars.

At the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, Automobili Lamborghini is presenting the most uncompromising open super sports car of its entire history. The Lamborghini Aventador J is a force of nature on wheels – supremely powerful and supremely open. The Aventador J offers its pilot and co-pilot an utterly indescribable experience of power and dynamics. At the same time, the 515 kW / 700 hp two-seater is a first class technology showcase, combining innovative solutions and brand new materials and demonstrating Automobili Lamborghini’s enormous expertise in carbon fiber technology.

The Lamborghini Aventador J is a radically open automobile – exterior and interior meld into each other. The designers and engineers in Sant’Agata Bolognese have not only dispensed entirely with the roof, but also with the front windshield. This requires that drivers of the Aventador J must have the right equipment for driving at top speeds higher than 300 Km/h.

This kind of driving at the limit is a highly exclusive experience – the Lamborghini Aventador J is fully functional for road use. It is an absolute one-off: a one-of-a-kind piece of art.

“With the Lamborghini Aventador J, we have molded our brand DNA into its most definitive form to date. This automobile is as extreme and as uncompromising as only a Lamborghini can be,” says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “The new Lamborghini Aventador J is the most radical open supersports car of Lamborghini’s history. Its name comes from our tradition and combines an unconventional design with technology innovation. Nowadays we are
confronted with several regulations that we face in the spirit of challenge. The Aventador J is the proof that, despite the rules, Lamborghini will always make people dream, even in the future.”

Continuation of a glorious tradition
With the Aventador J, technically based on the Aventador, Automobili Lamborghini is carrying on its glorious brand tradition. The 1970 Jota, for instance, was the stuff of legends – a Lamborghini Miura with improved performance and virtually redesigned in every detail. It remained a one-off; although some owners subsequently had their Miuras modified to look like the Jota.

The letter J is derived from the sporting rules of the FIA world motorsport organization. Its “Appendix J” defines the technical specification of race cars in the various classes.

The Aventador: Extremely open, overwhelming power
The Lamborghini Aventador J is a super sports car of positively dramatic single-mindedness and openness. It combines the overwhelming performance of the Lamborghini Aventador with the most intense experience of power and dynamics imaginable in an automobile.

The technical basis for the Aventador J is the Aventador LP 700-4, Lamborghini’s new twelve-cylinder model. Presented in 2011, the Aventador has been acclaimed by customers and journalists alike. The Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4’s technology package is unique – its structure is based
on an innovative monocoque made from carbon fiber reinforced polymers that combines systematic lightweight design with optimum stiffness and safety. The new twelve-cylinder with a displacement of 6.5 liters and 515 kW / 700 hp combines the best in high-revving thrills with mighty pulling power. Its super-fast ISR transmission, permanent all-wheel drive and pushrod suspension combine this potent power with the utmost handling precision.

Systematic lightweight design – considerable weight reduction
Naturally, the Aventador J benefits enormously from this unique technology package. Yet the Aventador J has a significantly different interpretation to the Aventador coupé. In this open version, the monocoque has a largely new design, including the two safety bars behind the seats.
The absence of a roof, of the large windshield, of the air conditioning system and of the navigation system obviously takes it to an even lower weight. With a dry weight of 1575 kilograms, the series production Aventador LP 700-4 is already extremely light for its performance class thanks to its carbon fiber construction.

Carbonskin, a brand new carbon fiber material
The unique expertise of Automobili Lamborghini in the field of carbon fiber reinforced polymers is evident not only in the hi-tech monocoque, but also in the research into further innovative solutions. Unlike traditional seats, in the Aventador J seats are made of Forged COMPOSITE®, with inserts of
flexible carbon fiber fabrics: a result of an innovative Lamborghini patent.

The specialists at Lamborghini have developed an even more amazing version of carbon fiber material for the Aventador J. In its first automotive application, this carbon fiber fabric called “Carbonskin” is made of woven carbon fibers soaked with a very special epoxy resin that stabilizes the fiber structure and keeps the material soft. Like a hi-tech fabric, the carbon fiber mats fit perfectly to every shape. In the Aventador J, the complete cockpit and parts of the seats are clad in this material and shimmer in matt carbon fiber black. It’s conceivable that in future there will be many potential applications for this freshly patented and extremely fine-looking material, even very high-end clothing.

The Design: uncompromisingly Lamborghini
An extreme Aventador obviously needs an equally single-minded design, which goes without saying at the Centro Stile Lamborghini. Every single model from Sant’Agata Bolognese bears the unique design of the brand. Clear, precise surfaces, as well as sharp, often broken lines are among the unmistakable styling tools. They consistently emphasize the power and enormous presence of these Italian super sports cars. Not one line is ever accidental – the defining principle is always ‘form follows function’.

This function is very clearly defined for the Aventador J – explosive dynamics, extreme driving fun, a unique experience. Every kilometer with the Aventador J is extreme fun: something plainly evident from the very first glance.

Rear view mirror like a periscope
Virtually every part of the outer chassis was redesigned for the Aventador J, yet it shows the spirit of Lamborghini in its most concentrated form. The car’s dimensions are extreme: the overall length is 4890 mm, the overall width (excluding mirrors) is 2030 mm while the height is 1110 mm.

The highest points are marked by the rear view mirror, which is perched on an arm like a periscope, and by the two safety bars behind the seats. In place of the classic front windshield there are two small wind deflectors. The occupants of the Aventador J are confronted by the element of the
wind in much the same way as a superbike rider – therefore the right clothing is prerequisite for every trip.

Front scoop with winglets
The front of the Aventador J is somewhat narrower than that of the Aventador. The front end is dominated by a highly distinctive carbon fiber air scoop, with central fixing braces and upward tilting winglets on the outer edges. Viewed from the side, the front end of the Aventador J looks like a Formula 1 racing car.

Red with chrome effect, wheels with CFRP fan
The black of the carbon fiber parts is visibly evident throughout the car – the significantly wider sill elements and the mighty rear diffuser form a perfect contrast to the rich red body paintwork. The special red color was developed specifically for this Aventador – a highly intensive red with a
slight chrome effect.

The wheels, of course, were also developed specifically for this car, with 20-inch rims at the front and 21-inch at the rear. The five-spoke aluminum wheels have a central lock system and an additional carbon fiber insert that functions like a small fan for optimum brake ventilation.

Naturally, the doors on the Aventador J also open upward. They are considerably thinner than on the Aventador and are fitted with a tiny, fixed side window. The muscular flanks around the rear wheels are hallmark Lamborghini and make it immediately apparent where this particular bull keeps his power.

Rear end purely for aerodynamics and ventilation
Because of its ample dimensions, the eye is drawn inexorably to the rear end. It consists in principle of just three elements – the carbon-fiber rear diffuser, the four huge tail pipes and the rear lights with their typical Lamborghini light signature in the form of a Y. The remaining surface area is for heat dissipation and is enclosed only by a black metal mesh. The rear end is crowned by an enormous fixed spoiler mounted on the bodyshell by two arms. ‘Form follows function’ to the nth degree. The spoiler is supported by two pillars connected by the diffuser: clearly inspired by racing.

Special bumpers
In comparison with the Aventador LP 700-4, the exclusive Aventador J has special front and rear bumpers. Both bumpers have been supplemented with carbon fiber fins that act as flow deviators. Their purpose is to achieve a significant increase in the vehicle’s downforce at both the front and the
rear.

The outside comes inside
The Aventador J’s exterior and interior forms flow seamlessly into each other. This supersports car turns its inside outward and is as open as it can possibly be. Conversely, the exterior ‘flows’ through the interior – a red stripe runs from the front hood, between the two wind deflectors, over the dashboard, down the console to the center tunnel and back up between the seat backs, before leaving the interior and heading for the engine cover panel.

Interior is minimalist and single-minded
This band of color connects the front and the rear of the car, creates a visual separation between the driver and passenger space and is interrupted only by a small control panel housing the starter button and the switches for lights and transmission. The Aventador J is equipped neither with a navigation nor car audio system, nor does it have the associated screen or air conditioning controls – these would simply detract from its one and only raison d’être as an extreme driving experience. What remains, of course, are two programmable TFT displays behind the steering wheel.

The engine cover also brings the inside to the outside. To be more precise, it is not so much a cover but more a framework. This part has a new geometry (X shape) and is made of carbon fiber. Two
large openings lay bare both cylinder banks of the mighty V12 power unit with its 6.5 liters of displacement – a truly stunning sight for every automobile aficionado.

A unique work of art licensed for the road
However, at the end of the Geneva Motor Show, this sight will be the preserve of just one – the future owner of the Lamborghini Aventador J.
There is only one of them, no prototypes and no others for the Lamborghini Museum. The buyer can look forward to a truly unique, street-legal work of art. He will possess the most extreme expression of Lamborghini DNA in existence and a real masterpiece of high technology. But the many other fans of the super sports cars from Sant’ Agata Bolognese can rest assured – the Aventador success story has only just begun.

The post The Official Press Release of Aventador J appeared first on LamboCars.

The post Lamborghini Aventador J – Pictures & Gallery appeared first on LamboCars.

It has been in the air for a few days ever since a Czech based forum released two shots prior to the official press release from Automobili Lamborghini SpA that has been released on the evening of March 5th.

The Lamborghini Aventador J is a fact, and the Unica teaser film we’ve all seen only two days ago was the preview for this one of a kind beauty yes, you are reading this right, only one Aventador J will be built, and no it will not be collecting dust in a showroom or on the museum floor this baby is completely street legal and will be sold to one very lucky owner.

Take a close look at this bright red Raging Bull, even the shade of red has been custom made for this masterpiece, if an open top car is what you have been looking for look no further, super cars don’t come more open than the Lamborghini Aventador J.

There is no roof on this V12 monster, with a V12 pumping out 700 hp we are talking uncompromising power combined in just about the best looks ever to come out of the gates in Sant’Agata, the outside of the car has been modified to such an extent it almost organically flows into the interior, but wait, where is the windshield there is none, so you are sitting in this unique car like you would be on a high speed motorcycle, a helmet as seen in some of the shots suddenly seams a very good idea, and somehow I don’t think that black tie dress code will survive the drive to the venue.

As mentioned the Lamborghini Aventador J is completely street legal, and I for one am sure we are talking about being right on the limit of what is legal for street use, this isn’t a super car anymore, this is a radical statement of sheer car design possibilities using the Raging Bull DNA and heritage to the fullest extend possible for the road.

Naturally we all remember the previous Lamborghini Jota based on the Miura, this brainchild of legendary Bob Wallace built in the Seventies also used the letter J as its name, for the “Appendix J” in FIA regulation and now over 40 years later the Aventador firmly plants the J back into motoring history the Jota is back and how !

Although this J model is still based on the regular Lamborghini Aventador, you can hardly ignore it looks totally different nonetheless, but the Lamborghini engineers were faced with one major problem we are talking about a carbon fiber monocoque car here, so removing the roof isn’t as easy as you might think. By thoroughly redesigning this monocoque and adding two safety bars behind the driver and passenger they did manage to create a very strong car without any kind of roof section for strength.

Note that the roof isn’t the only thing the Aventador J has shed there isn’t any kind of windshield either, and who needs a climate control system or a GPS unit in a car like this in case you get lost on the road the result is you’ll be spending more time driving the Aventador J, so who cares as long as there is enough fuel on hand.

Not only the looks of the Aventador J are innovative, how about seats covered in Carbonskin? That’s right, no leather or alcantara inside the J, they wouldn’t like the possible shower as there is no roof, so when it rains it pours in some countries. We all know Lamborghini has been gathering some amazing expertise in using carbon fiber technology on the Aventador J this knowledge is taken to the net level.

Carbonskin is a newly patented use of carbon fiber, by using woven carbon fibers that are soaked in a custom epoxy resin to stabilize the carbon fibers an keep the material soft at the same time which allows for use on seats, dashboard and door panels inside the Aventador J. A beautiful carbon fiber finish in mat black can be found all over the interior of this new car as upholstery, how amazing is that.

Just in case you want even more carbon fiber, the newly designed front spoiler is finished in clear carbon fiber too, much more aggressive looking compared to the regular Aventador it is ready to attack just about anything this car might encounter on the open road or on the track.

As there is also a really nice ‘hanging’ rear wing mounted above the modified rear end on the Aventador J all finished in carbon fiber naturally, you might need a second look, but yes : those exhausts are even bigger now and the metal grilles took over a lot of ‘real estate’ at the back.

I already was a big fan of those by now trademark ‘Y’ lights used on the Lamborghini models these days, however on this Aventador J they went for the same look in black, making the J look even more menacing when it speeds away from you it would take a car with a serious pedigree to keep up with this Raging Bull, I kid you not.

And Lamborghini hadn’t finished using carbon fiber yet, look at those center lock wheels, straight from the race track in a very nice, simple five spoke design if it wasn’t for that awesome looking ‘fan’ behind the principal spokes keeping those massive disc brakes cooled is a priority on a car like this.

If like me you love to admire a nice V12 engine the Aventador J is quite a feat for us, as there is no roof on this car Lamborghini decided to remove the engine cover too well there is still a cover, but is it more a frame, the two impressive cylinder banks of the engine are out in the open and they look great!

So bottom line: what are we talking about here?

This is a magnificently beautiful car, very aggressive and designed and built with only one thing in mind: bringing us the most extreme looking Raging Bull ever and it is for sale!

That’s right, we’ve seen several concept cars before, the Concept S for one, looking similar with a very low windshield and driver and passenger being divided from each other by body parts somewhat resembling the red line running from front, through the interior right to the back on the Aventador J.

And what about the Miura Concept car, also a very nice looking retro concept, people were eager to put their order in but Lamborghini didn’t build it in the end and this is where the Aventador J makes all the difference.

Price? There will be ONE and only one built, no prototype, not museum piece this one and only fully street legal and drivable Lamborghini Aventador J is available for one concerning customer and it is already sold for a cool 2,200,000 Euro without taxes.

I wonder where it will turn up in the world.
