200-MPH Windburn: Three-quarters of a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport at one-quarter of the price.
Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now.
Lamborghini’s Aventador Roadster, arguably the best varietal ever bottled by the Sant’Agata Bolognese winery, is the perfect way to celebrate 2012 global sales up by 30 percent, a healthy backlog of Aventador orders, and the company’s 50th birthday. While the rest of the car world frets electrics and hybrids, Lamborghini is toasting its middle age with a $448,295 dolce spumante.
Felippo Perini, head of Lamborghini’s 8-person Centro Stile design department, is the company’s ambassador for intentionally outrageous road sculpture…and a crack problem solver. Distinguishing between ‘stylists’ and ‘designers’ while casually sketching two views of the Aventador Roadster, he explains, “It’s our job to go well beyond pure art. We also solve functional issues, such as how air flows through the heat exchangers and the influence of aerodynamic features on high-speed stability.” Perini revealed that his inspiration for the Aventador came from ‘those shiny-green jagged-leg beetles that smell bad when you step on them,’ the F-22 and F-35 fighters, and the B2 stealth bomber.
