The two latest Lamborghinis – the Huracan EVO and the last version of the Aventador – the Aventador SVJ, have dropped their tops at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show.

The Huracan EVO Spyder gets a new four-layer green color called Verde Selvans. The Spyder’s lightweight soft top opens via a button on the centre console in about 17 seconds and at speeds of up to 50 km/h (31 mph). An integrated duct between the body-colored fins reduces turbulence in the headroom during open top driving. The driver can electronically open the rear window which functions as a windshield when closed, and when opened, amplifies the song of the EVO Spyder’s unique engine sound.

No change in the 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 engine’s output. It offers the same 470 kW (639 hp) at 8,000 rpm and 600 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. What’s changed is the 0 – 100 km/h acceleration time of 3.1 seconds (0.2 seconds slower), while the top speed is the same 325 km/h. The roof mechanism and additional strengthening seems to have added a significant 120 kg to the Coupe’s dry weight of 1,422 kg.

Also dropping the top is the Aventador SVJ. Or should we say manual removing & stowing of panels? Either way, the roof panels of the Aventador SVJ Roadster is made from carbon fibre, and is removable via quick-release levers in the cabin, and as always, are stored under the front hood. Weighing less than 6 kg each part (panels), the roadster adds about 50 kg to the SVJ coupé’s dry weight of 1,525 kg.

The magnificent 6,498 cc naturally aspirated V12 offers the same 566 kW (770 hp) at 8,500 rpm and 720 Nm of torque at 6,750 rpm. The engine revs up to 8,700 rpm. 0 – 100 km/h acceleration takes 2.9 seconds (0.1 second slower) and the top speed is over 350 km/h.

This particular example is finished in a new matt color bronzo zenas (bronze) with a special Ad Personam livery in bianco phanes (white). The livery emphasizes the sharp lines of the car.

While the Coupe is limited to 963 units (SVJ + SVJ 63), the SVJ Roadster is limited to 800 units.
