Official: Lamborghini CEO Confirms Veneno Roadster Lamborghini will produce a topless version of the Veneno.
Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann has told Car and Driver in an exclusive interview that the Italian manufacturer will build a small run of roadsters based on the Veneno hypercar that was launched at the Geneva auto show earlier this year. Rumors of Lamborghini executives gauging interest levels within the brand’s most-loyal customers circulated last month, but those reports went unconfirmed by officials in Sant’Agata.
While the closed-roof ultra-Aventador was built in only three units, Winkelmann tells us that production of the open-top version will triple that number. The Veneno Roadster, which is the car’s official name, will cost €3.3 million (roughly $4.4 million at today’s exchange rates), exactly 10 percent more than the original Veneno. The Roadster will keep the fixed-roof car’s Aventador-derived powertrain without alteration.
Interested customers should contact their local Lambo dealer by the time they’ve read the end of this sentence. As if those wealthy enough—not to mention interested enough—to afford such an automobile need any more incentive, we’re told that the car may never be shown to the public.

One of the guys that purchased the hard top version lives about 15 minutes from me. I'm hoping to see it around somewhere but I doubt ill catch it on the road. I wonder if he will have it at his dealership at all, since he owns the Long Island dealership here. The topless version will give an opportunity to the few buyers who couldn't get their hands on the hard top version lol.
