In the market for a new ride? How about one that not only marks a pivotal moment in history but that’s also as rare as the proverbial toothed chicken. Lamborghini must have been reading your mind.
The Italian marque has unveiled the Aventador SVJ 63 Roadster, a bold rendition of the iconic V12 super sports car limited to just 63 numbered units in commemoration of the company’s founding year, 1963.
Tribute to Design & Performance
Alongside the SVJ 63 Roadster, Lamborghini also pays tribute to its endurance motorsport victories with the unveiling of the Huracán EVO GT Celebration. Lamborghini’s limited series of 36 units pays tribute to the dual victories of 2018 and 2019 at the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring ‒ 36 being the sum time of the two famous endurance races, also known as the “36 Hours of Florida”.
Aventador SVJ 63 Roadster
With the Aventador SVJ 63 Roadster, Lamborghini’s Centro Stile design team and Ad Personam department have drawn on the virtually limitless colour and trim options available through Lamborghini’s personalization program, with the collaboration creating eight exclusive new design expressions. Available to just 63 owners worldwide, each of the eight unique combinations comprises an exotic exterior and interior, unique to the Roadster version of the SVJ 63.
The exterior styling is specifically developed for the Roadster model, with a matt or shiny carbon fiber upper part that includes roof, engine cover, engine air vents, windscreen rim, and wing mirrors. A new matt titanium finish features on the Leirion forged rims and the car carries the SVJ 63 livery, as well as a ‘1 of 63’ numbered plate.
Inside, three color schemes in Alcantara, featuring carbon fiber elements throughout the cockpit, are complemented by Lamborghini’s patented lightweight CarbonSkin. A badge on the steering wheel endorses the car as one of a limited edition, as does a ‘63’ logo on the rear wall in Alcantara and CarbonSkin.
The Aventador SVJ Roadster upholds the exceptional performance, handling and aerodynamic superiority of the SVJ coupé. Sporting the ‘Super Veloce’ for superfast and ‘Jota’ suffix signifying the car’s performance and track prowess, its coupé stablemate took the Nürburgring Nordschleife production car record.
Outputting 770 CV (566 kW) at maximum 8,500 rpm, the SVJ delivers 720 Nm of torque at 6,750 rpm, with a weight-to-power ratio of 2.05 kg/CV. The SVJ Roadster accelerates from standing to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and from 0 to 200 km/h in 8.8 seconds. A top speed of more than 350 km/h is complemented by a braking distance of 100 km/h to 0 in 31 meters.
Huracán EVO GT Celebration
The Huracán EVO GT Celebration is a tribute to the Huracán GT3 EVO, which triumphed at the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring for two consecutive seasons.
The design evokes the livery of the GRT Grasser Racing Team, which along with Paul Miller Racing brought Lamborghini the four victories, characterized by the combination of Verde Egeria green and Arancio Aten orange. Three body colours have been created by Lamborghini Ad Personam in collaboration with the Centro Stile, with which three other colours can be combined for the livery, for a total of nine combinations.
The car’s racing look is underscored by both the hexagons on the doors and front hood that frame the number “11”, inspired by the number plates for racing cars, and by the 20-inch single-nut wheels that can be combined with coloured brake calipers.
On request, the body can be personalized with the Lamborghini Squadra Corse shield, applied on the roof and framed by the Italian and U.S. flags, and laurel wreaths placed on the rear fender. In addition, the side members are decorated with identification plates “Daytona 24” and “Sebring 12”; the driver’s side B-Pillar features a carbon fiber plate with the inscription “1 of 36”.
The interior features other exclusive details: upholstery in Alcantara with contrasting stitching in the same color as the livery; and the hexagonal plate with shield, flags, and laurel, situated between the new racing seats, making their debut on the Huracán EVO GT Celebration.
