Lamborghini unveiled the open version of its latest one-off creation to collectors and enthusiasts at the recent Monterey Car Week in California, US.

A natural successor to its coupé counterpart, the Centenario Roadster is also limited to 20 cars worldwide and represents a true illustration of Lamborghini’s commitment to advance automotive design to new, inspirational heights.

The Centenario supercar series commemorates the centenary of the Italian brand’s founder Ferruccio Lamborghini. Designers were given the freedom to create an open design that embodies the progressive qualities of Lamborghini’s visionary founder and shines in an elegant environment. 

This next level Roadster embodies a new design direction for Lamborghini accentuated by clean surfaces and superb reflections as ‘form follows function’ – true to Lamborghini’s core design DNA. 

Centenario’s silhouette features low overhangs in the front and rear creating a clean, sensuous, mono-body shape.

“Lamborghini prides itself on the relentless pursuit of experimentation. We are proud to unleash Centenario’s further potential in the form of a classic roadster; the perfect harmony between innovation and timeless design. This unique engineering achievement is a befitting tribute to Lamborghini’s extraordinary past and a preview of its brilliant future,” says Stefano Domenicali, Automobili Lamborghini Chief Executive Officer. “The Centenario Roadster embraces the cutting edge characteristics of its coupé sibling and embraces the freedom of a true open-top super sports car for a pure drive experience.”

The Centenario’s V12 naturally aspirated engine with 770 hp is the most powerful built by Lamborghini, with a weight to power ratio of 2.04 kg/hp.

The car features Lamborghini rear-wheel steering, a carbon fibre monocoque and body, and advanced aerodynamics.

Inside, it offers touchscreen access to the internet, web radio, telemetry and Apple CarPlay.

Of course, for those who want one, it’s too late, as all 40 roadsters and coupés have been sold, at starting prices of €2 million ($2.24 million) upwards.
