ToofDoc Report post Posted May 27, 2013 My thoughts....since both coupe and roadster have the exact option upgrades available, the build won't be the determinant. Coupe +s: privacy, faster, lighter, cheaper, front cargo space available, less cleaning interiorly Roadster +s: more aggressive look, more rare in production, feel the wind in your hair, it can be a coupe or a roadster, less depreciation Need your insights Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

medici78 Report post Posted May 28, 2013 I guess I'll be the odd one out. On a car this extroverted, I prefer the coupe. I can't justify the $40k difference when I'll rarely take the top off. The only Aventador I've driven has been the Roadster as the dealer had just received their demo and did not have a coupe on-hand. If your preference runs to convertiblesyou won't be disappointed if you go with a Roadster. The big negative is the wait time will be around a year longer than the Coupe.

ToofDoc Report post Posted May 28, 2013 The big negative is the wait time will be around a year longer than the Coupe. I'll see tomorrow for sure on how long my wait will be. How long did some of you Roadster order take? When are they supposed to be delivering the cars? I know all Roadsters are MY 2014s, so is it the end of this year some of you will take delivery? As long as I get mine around the next driving season (April or May 2014), I'm cool! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assman Report post Posted May 28, 2013 At this point there's no reason to order a coupe. The only coupe from now on Worth buying new would be an SV version. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaginBull Report post Posted May 28, 2013 At this point there's no reason to order a coupe. The only coupe from now on Worth buying new would be an SV version. I disagree. They are both great. I like the looks of the 700 coupe slightly more than the 700 roadster. If you like open top driving, the roadster, if not, the coupe. You can't lose either way. I am buying the roadster and keeping the coupe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinnsella Report post Posted May 28, 2013 At this point there's no reason to order a coupe. The only coupe from now on Worth buying new would be an SV version. I had an 99 NSX-T. With the roof on it was definitely more rigid, off was fun when cruising, best of both worlds with minimal compromise. The Aventador is too big to be a canyon carver so I think the roadster is a great compromise. If they had done a Murci roadster style roof, coupe all the way. Either way there are no losers.

If you don't like convertibles and would never put the top down then add it is 88 lbs heavier that makes it slower 2 MPH less top speed less interior and luggage space 30 to 40 grand more coupe roof more streamlined looks are subjective Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slower but really unlike the Gallardo tt's who's racing aventadors? 2mph top speed? Who cares? Interior and luggage space? If u need it leave the roof on. Price. On a 450k car if you can't afford 50k more you shouldn't be in the market. Coupe roof looks close identical Looks pretty much the same.

Coupe roof looks close identical Looks pretty much the same. All those reasons come into play only if you have the first reason that is you don't like or need a convertible and will never put the top down, then the other reasons just add on, why would someone not buy the coupe if they don't have a need for top down use.

ToofDoc Report post Posted May 28, 2013 Main thing I'd say, same for vent and mp4. Resale. Roadsters will def hold their value more and longer! I think the roof streamline is better on the Roadster because the center line between the two panels really defines the contour of the roof more. It's actually $44K more in base price and $800 more in GGT than the coupe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilligan740 Report post Posted May 28, 2013 If pricing is to be factored in, I think it is important to note that there are many Aventador coupes available right now for far less than a new order coupe, much less a Roadster. Of course they haven't been built to your exact specification but you could have one this driving season. If you're willing to spend the extra money and/or wait the extra time, definitely order a roadster. Why wait a really long time for a coupe when you can buy one for less now, wrap it any color you like, and spend the savings on some mods. Just my two cents.

Most '12 coupes are still priced same as new. I'd rather wait a few months and get a car 2 model years newer if the price is the same. Also, coupe orders are not as far out as a Roadster. If you order now, the average wait for a Roadster is 18 months. A coupe is around 6 months. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A coupe is around 6 months. eBay shows at least two coupes in the $419k range -- that's at least $30k less than new. You could do some mods with that $30k Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
