PrancingHorse 1 Report post Posted January 25, 2013 Italian hypercar maker Lamborghini or The Raging Bull as its called launched the Aventador Roadster in India today at an event held at Lamborghini's Mumbai dealership this afternoon. The car was unveiled by Mr. Andrea Baldi Sales Manager for South Asia & Pacific, Mr Pawan Shetty Head of Operations Lamborghini India and Mr Mohan Mariwala, M.D of Lamborghini Mumbai.

CarCrazyASTL 16 Report post Posted January 25, 2013 Looks like F22's cousin built for road! But I guess pricing is TOOOOOOO MUCHHHHH! If it was arround 2.2-2.7 carores was correct! I mean Audi R8 Spider, which is almost similar (of course with arround 175 hp less) costs 1.48 carores! & this one costs too much in comparision! But again, this is india & you cant guess people's mind! I was shocked to death when I here that it's over-booked! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bong 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2013 The Aventador itself looks absolutely stunning! The convertible version takes it even further, its just so sublime! I am going to be a tad adventurous and say this might just be the best looking car on sale everywhere today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PrancingHorse 1 Report post Posted January 29, 2013 Over booked at a price tag of 4.5 + crores I am not surprised there. India is now a huge market for these cars. The recent Super car rally was dominated with Lamborghinis which included 3 Aventadors Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A V12 , a lot more power and torque and a whole second quicker to the ton and so on. Oh and did i mention ?...ITS A LAMBO Lets compare the like-hearted siblings here. The R8 v10 and the Gallardo share absolute identical units in identical states of tune. Yet the r8 spyder costs as much as you mentioned and the gallardo costs double that. So similar performance for half the price. Technically then people shouldnt buy gallardos at all right ? The scene in Mumbai seems different. There might be as many gallardos as r8 v10's if not more. End of the day it comes down to sheer snob value and exotic-ness. Yes an R8 v10 can surely hold its own against the SLS's and 911's of the world but the Bulls and the Horses are just different. Im sure youl agree Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PlatzdaTurbo 1 Report post Posted February 5, 2013 On another note, after seeing this i wonder why would anyone ever want to buy an Aston Martin Vanquish ? A new car with an OLD v12 FORD engine and much much heavier with a 4.1 to 100 timing. The Vanquish is also dearer than the Aventador ! Obsolete is the word ! Silly Aston !
