Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster For Sale

Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster: model overview

Revealed in 2019, the Aventador SVJ Roadster is the open-top member of the SVJ family, the most extreme, most aerodynamically advanced version of Lamborghini's Aventador. SVJ stands for Super Veloce Jota, the "Jota" designation Lamborghini reserves for its sharpest, most track-oriented evolutions. The Roadster keeps the SVJ's defining hardware, the uprated 6.5-litre naturally aspirated 60° V12 (engine code L539) producing 770 CV (566 kW) and 720 Nm, the 7-speed ISR gearbox, permanent all-wheel drive, rear-wheel steering, magnetorheological suspension and ALA 2.0 active aerodynamics, and packages it under an open carbon roof. Lamborghini quotes 0–100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and a top speed beyond 350 km/h, from a dry weight of 1,575 kg.

Unlike the fully open Veneno Roadster, the SVJ Roadster uses two removable carbon-fibre roof panels that stow in the front luggage compartment, so it can be run fully closed or fully open. Production was capped at 800 Roadsters worldwide. The SVJ Coupé set a production-car lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife (6:44.97) in 2018; the Roadster shares that same SVJ powertrain and ALA 2.0 hardware in open form, rather than holding the record itself. With a finite population of 800 cars, a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster for sale should always be confirmed by chassis number, factory build sheet and ownership history.

Technical specification

ALA 2.0 active aerodynamics

The single biggest engineering story of the SVJ is ALA 2.0 (Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva). Active flaps in the front splitter and rear wing open and close in milliseconds to switch between high-downforce and low-drag states, while "aero vectoring" can bias downforce to the inside or outside rear wheel through a corner. Combined with rear-wheel steering and magnetorheological suspension, it gives the SVJ a level of high-speed composure the standard Aventador cannot match. The Roadster carries the same ALA 2.0 system as the Coupé, the open roof is the difference, not the aerodynamic hardware.

SVJ Coupé vs SVJ Roadster

The two cars share the same 770 CV V12, the same ALA 2.0 system and the same chassis philosophy, but they are distinct models with distinct populations: 900 Coupés versus 800 Roadsters. The Roadster adds two removable carbon roof panels and a small weight penalty, in exchange for open-air running. There is also the SVJ 63, a 63-unit Coupé special edition that should not be merged into the Roadster count. For a buyer, the figure to use for this page is 800 Roadsters worldwide; the appeal is the combination of the SVJ's track-bred aero and the open roof.

Production and rarity

Lamborghini limited the SVJ Roadster to 800 examples worldwide, built across 2019 and 2020 before the Aventador line moved on to its Ultimae send-off. The common trap is to blur the Coupé (900), the Roadster (800) and the SVJ 63 special (63 Coupés) into one figure; for a Roadster page the correct, defensible number is 800 cars. Each "1 of 800" claim should still be matched to the chassis number and factory build sheet, and many cars carry distinctive Ad Personam or exposed-carbon specifications that materially affect desirability.

Market context

New, the SVJ Roadster was priced from roughly €390,000 before tax (a US sticker around $573,000 is often cited). On the used market, values depend heavily on mileage, specification (exposed carbon, colour, Ad Personam), country, taxes and condition: cars are advertised across a wide band of roughly $600,000 to $1.9M, with well-kept low-mileage and specially specified examples commanding the upper end. The important discipline is not to assume a fixed figure: asking price is not transaction price, and each car must be assessed individually against its documentation and recent comparable sales. The asking band shown above is indicative and should be confirmed per car.
