The extreme sensation of driving an open top V12 supersports car, with the sky above and the engine right behind, is what awaits the driver of Lamborghini such as the Diablo Roadster, Murciélago Roadster or Aventador Roadster. Even more highlighting are the Few Off Roadsters. These rare machines, produced in very limited numbers, combine uncompromising super sports car performance with an intense feeling of freedom and the highest level of individuality. They represent moments when engineering, design and pure driving emotion converge without compromise. Radical in concept and striking in appearance, these cars transform performance into an experience that is both visceral and unforgettable.

Throughout its history, Lamborghini has explored this open-top concept through a small number of extraordinary creations. From visionary ideas to highly exclusive few-off models, these roadsters have repeatedly pushed the boundaries of design, technology and performance.

The root of this tradition can be traced back to the 1968 Miura Roadster, a unique interpretation of the revolutionary car created by Bertone, which embodied Lamborghini’s ambition to challenge conventions and explore new possibilities. Decades later, this spirit evolved into the creation of different Few Off roadster models, rare open top supersports cars that represent the most extreme expression of Lamborghini’s design and engineering philosophy. The first true expression of this vision was the Reventón Roadster, which marked the beginning of a lineage of exceptional open top Few Off models. It was followed by the Veneno Roadster, the Centenario Roadster and the Sián Roadster.

“When we created the Reventón Roadster, we wanted to further demonstrate Lamborghini’s technological capabilities, as we do with every few-off model,” says Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “This philosophy continues through some of the most exclusive creations in the brand’s history, from the Reventón Roadster to the Sián Roadster. Each of these models represents a milestone in Lamborghini’s ability to combine visionary design, advanced engineering and extreme performance in limited-production open-top super sports cars.”

Reventón Roadster 2009

The Reventón Roadster, unveiled in 2009, represents the very first Few Off roadster Lamborghini ever produced, embodying radical exclusivity and a futuristic design inspired by fighter jets. Only 15 units of the Reventón Roadster were produced, in addition to 20 coupés. The car combined an angular body with a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 delivering 650 CV. It accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and reached a top speed of over 340 km/h. The model introduced the extensive use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer body panels and a hybrid chassis combining steel and CFRP reinforcements. It was also the first Lamborghini equipped with a fully digital instrument cluster featuring three LCD displays, marking a significant technological step forward for the brand.

Veneno Roadster 2014

Presented in 2014, the Veneno Roadster is one of the most radical open-top Lamborghinis ever created and was introduced, in Its coupè version, to celebrate the brand’s 50th anniversary. Limited to just nine units, it represents an extreme interpretation of aerodynamic efficiency inspired by racing prototypes. Powered by a 6.5-liter V12 that produced 750 CV, the Veneno Roadster accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and reached a top speed of 355 km/h. Its dramatic bodywork featured large wings, exposed aerodynamic elements and extensive use of carbon fiber, including the patented Carbon Skin® material used for interior components such as the dashboard and seat upholstery.

Centenario Roadster 2016

The Centenario Roadster was a celebration of the 100th anniversary of company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini. Limited to just 20 units, it combined advanced technology with an aggressive and futuristic design. The naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 delivered 770 CV, enabling acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and a top speed of over 350 km/h. The model introduced several technological innovations including a central infotainment touchscreen and rear-wheel steering, improving agility at low speeds and stability at high speeds. These solutions would later return in future Lamborghini models.

Sián Roadster 2020

The Sián Roadster marks the beginning of Lamborghini’s electrified era. Limited to 19 units, it combined the traditional V12 engine with hybrid technology for the first time in a Lamborghini few-off roadster. The naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 was paired with a 48-volt electric motor integrated into the gearbox, delivering a combined output of 819 CV.

Having its origin with the Miura Roadster and starting from the first Reventón Roadster to the Sián Roadster, the tradition of Lamborghini Few Off roadsters with V12 engines spans more than six decades. Throughout this history, performance, design and emotion remain the constant elements. A Lamborghini Few Off roadster is not simply a convertible, but an extreme expression of engineering and design.

It shows that Lamborghini’s few-off roadsters have always represented the absolute pinnacle of supersports car construction. These extremely rare cars combine extreme performance, radical design and strictly limited production numbers.

Freedom or safety for young drivers? UK can and must deliver both, says GEM 11/05/2026 SHARE: Images are for editorial use only. Experts gathering at Young Driver Focus in London on 13 May to press for action, not further delay Young drivers remain disproportionately at risk, with preventable deaths continuing on UK roads International evidence shows graduated driver licensing can cut crashes by up to 40% GEM Motoring Assist will return to the RAC Club, London, on 13 May as headline sponsor of Young Driver Focus 2026, renewing calls for decisive action to improve protection for newly-qualified drivers. Despite years of evidence and advocacy, the UK has yet to introduce a comprehensive system of graduated driver licensing (GDL) - a move GEM and other road safety groups say is costing young lives. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We are long past the point of asking whether we should act. The evidence is overwhelming, and the consequences of delay are measured in lives lost and families devastated.” GDL is a phased approach that allows new drivers to gain experience under lower-risk conditions before progressing to full driving privileges. Common measures include limits on late-night driving and restrictions on carrying same-age passengers during the months after passing the test. International research consistently shows crash reductions of between 20% and 40% where GDL systems are in place. In some regions of Canada, reductions in young driver deaths have exceeded 80%. In the UK, drivers aged 17 to 24 account for around 20% of road deaths, despite making up just 7% of licence holders. Inexperience, distraction and overconfidence remain key risk factors - precisely the issues GDL is designed to address. GEM stresses that a well-designed system supports rather than penalises young people, and a recent TRL review1 found no significant negative impact on access to education, employment or social activity. GEM supports a system that extends structured learning, reduces known high-risk conditions and allows young drivers to build skills progressively and safely. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We do many things well in the UK, particularly in driver training, but the current system offers too little structured support once someone passes the test. That’s where the real risk begins. “The choice is simple: continue with a system we know is failing too many young people, or take proven steps that will save lives. Doing nothing is not a neutral position - it is a decision with consequences… and Young Driver Focus offers a chance to translate the latest insight into real-world action.”
