Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster headed to Geneva - report
…
It appears Lamborghini is planning a pretty significant reveal for the Geneva motor show later this week, specifically a drop-top version of its Aventador SVJ flagship (coupe pictured).
American publication Carscoops claims it has unnamed sources telling it the Raging Bull will bring the Aventador SVJ Roadster to the Swiss event, complete with all the mechanical and aerodynamic upgrades already seen in the coupe, though with a removable carbon-fibre roof.
Mercedes-AMG has revealed the limited-edition GT R Roadster,blending the track-focused nature of the GT R coupe with the thrills of open-top motoring.
Just 750 examples will be produced, with power coming from the same 430kW/700Nm 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8 as the GT R coupe.
The company claims the drop-top GT R can hit 100km/h from a standstill in just 3.6 seconds (the same as the coupe), on its way to a top speed of 317km/h – just 1km/h shy of the coupe's vmax.
The eighth-generation Volkswagen Golf has been snapped once again by photographers, this time during cold weather testing on the snowy roads of Europe.
Compared to the basically undisguised vehicle spied recently, this prototype is wearing a full body wrap, though the overall silhouette and lighting units are visible.
As previously noted, the Golf Mk8 will appear lower and wider than the current model, looking very much like an enlarged version of the latest Polo.
The Toyota GR Supra GT4 Concept will make its debut at the 2019 Geneva motor show, which gets under way this week.
Developed by Gazoo Racing, Toyota's European racing arm, with the FIA's GT4 racing series in mind, the Supra GT4 Concept rides on race-ready five-hole OZ 18-inch wheels.
The suspension also features competition-grade shocks, springs, and anti-roll bars, while the brakes have been sourced from Brembo.
The Seat el-Born concept has been revealed ahead of its full debut at the 2019 Geneva motor show, which takes place next week, and looks almost ready for production.
Equipped with a 62kWh battery pack, the el-Born has an estimated driving range of 420 kilometres based on the WLTP cycle.
Using a compatible 100kW DC fast charger, the el-Born's battery can be topped up to 80 per cent within 47 minutes.
