Lamborghini didn’t really have anything new to offer at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. So they decided to excite the fans by announcing the news that they are indeed building a roadster version of the Lamborghini Aventador SV SuperVeloce.

The Lamborghini Aventador SV Roadster, of which we’ve already seen a couple of renderings, will be limited to 500 units only and chances are by the time it’s ready to hit the roads all of them are sold. Lamborghini dealers are already taking orders for the SV Roadster, and as you know these things sell like hot cakes.

Making the Lamborghini Aventador SV Roadster should be one of the easiest things the Italian car maker has ever done. They just need to take a tried and tested Aventador Roadster and fit it with the body kit and the engine map of the SuperVeloce. We don’t know yet how much they are going to charge for the Roadster, but the price tag could be mahoosive, given that the coupe version is awfully close to half a million USD.

Just to recap, the Aventador SuperVeloce is a hotted-up version of the normal super car boasting 50 kg less weight and 50 hp more power. Performance-wis, the SV accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 2.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of more than 325 km/h (217 mph). The Roadster’s figures should be pretty close to these.

Speaking at Goodwood, Stephan Winkelmann confirmed production of the Superveloce Roadster. “The Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce is the most pure, sports-oriented and emotional incarnation of a Lamborghini, and all 600 units have been sold, with first deliveries starting now. We will also produce a roadster version, which our dealers worldwide are now taking orders for.”
