Lamborghini Unleashes Final Edition of Flagship Aventador Supercar
Lamborghini’s final edition of the Aventador is also the “most exclusive” topless version of the flagship Raging Bull.
Unveiled last week at Pebble Beach’s Concours d’Elegance, the Aventador SVJ 63 Roadster’s very name indicates just how exclusive the Italian supercar will be: Only 63 people will have the luxury of owning one. That number honors of the Italian’ marque’s founding in 1963.
Aside from the “SVJ 63” livery, stylish elements developed for this model in particular include a carbon fiber upper, engine cover, air vents, windshield rim and wing mirrors—all of which are available in a matte or shiny finish—as well as a new matte titanium finish on the wheel’s forged rims.
The limited colorway bleeds into the cockpit, which features carbon fiber seats swathed in a combo of gray and orange Alcantara upholstery with Q-Citura cross stitching and an embroidered “63” logo.
Beneath all of those strikingly angular lines is the same tuned-up version of Lambo’s 770-horsepower, naturally aspirated V12 that powers the “standard” SVJ Roadster.
A sprint to 62 mph still takes just under 3 seconds, and it’ll officially max out 217 mph, though Car and Driver is pretty sure that the actual top speed is even faster.
Sadly, every Aventador SVJ 63 Roadster is already spoken for. Don’t be too bummed—the flagship’s unannounced replacement with a rumored 800 hp is on the way.

The Godzilla Guitar Is the Loudest Way to Celebrate the King of Monsters’ 65th Birthday
ESP has created a wild new Godzilla-shaped guitar to honor the famed movie monster’s 65th birthday.
The Tokyo-based guitar giant started with an alder wood body that was meticulously crafted to resemble the towering, city-smashing reptile as it was portrayed in 2016’s Japanese kaiju movie Shin Godzilla, complete with a shrieking, toothy mouth.
As Robb Report notes, the eye-popping instrument boasts a 24-fret, three-piece maple neck, ebony fingerboard, Floyd Rose bridge, Gotoh tuners, EMG-85 pickup, and a tail-shaped headstock. It’s based on a custom model played by Toshihiko Takamizawa, frontman for Japanese rock band The Alfee.
When shredders really want to activate some star power, there’s a switch that activates a series of purple LED lights. The feature is meant channel the radioactive glow Godzilla gets right before it lets out a blast of havoc-wreaking “atomic breath.”
Only five of these Godzilla Guitars will be sold for a price that’s as tall as the 393-foot lizard itself: $52,500 apiece.
Visit the Godzilla Store online to place an order before the September 30 deadline.
