Lamborghini Aventador Roadster sold out for the next year

It seems that the newly launched Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster is already sold out until the middle of 2014.

That North American East Coast outing comes just a few months after Lamborghini revealed its open-topped Aventador at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November with the same 6.5 litre V12 engine as its tin-topped sibling and a 0-62mph of a scant 3.0 seconds.

At a UK price expected to be just the right side of £300k you might think, especially in these financially constrained times, Lamborghini might struggle to find buyers for its ultimate toupee wrecker. But it would seem not.

Auto Bild are reporting that the Aventador Roadster is selling so well that the entire first year’s production is already sold out months before the first Roadster arrives with a single Lamborghini customer.

The news that the Aventador Roadster is sold out comes hot on the heels of the news that McLaren are about to close their order book for the new P1 hypercar as it too has sold all McLaren are able to build in a sensible timeframe.

Mainstream car makers may be suffering at the moment, but that clearly doesn’t apply to the sort of cars most of us can only dream of owning.
