Every detail of its form pursues a clear function – exceptional dynamics, optimum downforce with minimal drag and perfect cooling of the high-performance engine. Large openings serve to ventilate the engine bay and direct airflow to the rear wing. The design of the adjustable rear wing is the product of motorsport experience and extensive aerodynamic simulation to ensure optimum airflow in the interaction of the rear wing with the rear diffuser. The design of the exclusive alloy wheels is also determined by aerodynamic functionality – a carbonfibre ring around the wheel rim works like a turbine to deliver additional cooling air to the carbon-ceramic brake discs. The Veneno Roadster is further proof of Lamborghini’s unique competence in CFRP-based lightweight design. A monocoque made from carbonfibre reinforced polymer forms the 56 basis of the Roadster. All exterior parts are made from CFRP. The Veneno Roadster meets all safety and registration requirements worldwide, and naturally also incorporates a full complement of safety systems from airbags through to the adapted ESP handling system. Carbon fibre dominates also the interior of the Veneno Roadster. The carbon fibre monocoque is visible inside the car around the central tunnel and the sills. The two lightweight bucket seats are made from Lamborghini’s patented Forged Composite. The woven carbon-fibre CarbonSkin is used to clad the entire cockpit, part of the seats and the headliner. Like a hi-tech fabric, this extremely fine-looking carbon-fibre matting fits perfectly to any form and reduces the weight of the vehicle. The systematic, carbon-fibre, lightweight design of the Veneno Roadster is not only visible, it is also evident on the scales: with a dry weight of just 1,490kg (3,278 pounds), the Veneno Roadster benefits from a power-to-weight ratio of just 1.99kg/ hp (4.38lbs/hp) which guarantees a performance that is nothing short of mind-blowing. Even the stunning acceleration figure of 2.9 seconds cannot adequately describe it. Despite an aerodynamic setup configured for extreme downforce, the Veneno Roadster possesses exceptionally low wind resistance which is what allows it to reach that top speed of 355km/h.
