The Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster is arguably one of the most powerful drop-top supercars->ke177 in the world. Needless to say, it’s also a popular aftermarket project for some of the best tuning->ke1987 firms in the world. Novitec->ke1896 Torado can lay claim to that distinction, thanks to its affiliation with Novitec Rosso and Novitec Tridente, all of which are part of the Novitec Group. It’s only fitting that Novitec Torado’s latest program is for the Aventador Roadster and not surprisingly, it’s an incredible kit that features comprehensive aerodynamic and performance upgrades.

This isn’t the first time Novitec Torado has worked on the Aventador.->ke3624 Back in July 2013, the Novitec tuning division dedicated to Lamborghinis worked on the Aventador coupe->ke141 and the result was a 750-horsepower powerhouse, photos of which still have a dedicated spot on my desktop.

It’s hard to top that kit, but Novitec Torado comes really close with its kit for the Aventador Roadster. At the very least, you don’t expect anything less from a tuning group that has built some of the most unique and most powerful programs for Ferraris,->ke252 Maseratis,->ke51 and now, Lamborghinis.->ke44

Lamborghini Aventador Roadster By Novitec Torado in detail

Where do I even begin? Ok, let’s start with the aerodynamic upgrades, which are about as extensive as it gets. Novitec Torado began with the front end, upgrading the front bumper with a two-piece front spoiler, a central blade, and redesigned air intakes. The aesthetic difference is pretty dramatic, isn’t it?

From there, Novitec Torado added a redesigned trunk lid that now comes with integrated air ducts and redesigned air extractors that you can spot just in front of the windshield. These upgrades serve the purpose of improving the Aventador Roadster’s handling ability by enhancing downforce on the supercar’s front axle.

On the sides, the Italian tuner installed new rocker panels and carbon-fiber mirror housings, while the rear end gets a massive rear wing that can be controlled below speeds of 112 mph by a Novitec Cantronic control unit.

Interior upgrades are also offered, including clear-coated carbon-fiber components and high-quality materials like leather and Alcantara, that can be ordered in any color.

With an extensive list of exterior and interior upgrades, Novitec Torado’s engine improvements might not even be the best part of the whole program. In any case, the Italian tuner installed its high-performance exhaust in place of the stock unit. From there, the company re-calibrated the Aventador Roadster’s engine electronics with special mapping for the fuel-injection and ignition systems. The result is an improved output of 728 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque, a nice increase from the supercar’s standard output of 700 horsepower and 509 pound-feet of torque.

No exact performance numbers were given, but we're assuming the improved Aventador Roadster to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just under three seconds to go with a top speed of 220 mph.

Novitec Torado also installed a set of high-tech forged wheels as part of the program. In this instance, the Italian tuner opted for 20-inch, three-piece NL1 alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero high-performance tires.

The final piece of Novitec Torado’s program for the Aventador Roadster is the new height-adjustable sports suspension system that the company developed in collaboration with KW Automotive with help form the KW seven-post shaker rig used by the Toyota Formula 1 team. The tuner is also offers a sport-spring kit that can lower the supercar’s ride height by 30 mm (1.18 inch).
