Lamborghini Aventador Roadster: Easy remove roof (video)

We have video of the new Lamborghini Aventador Roadster at a private reveal in Miami showing that the roof really is easy to remove. It’s a great-looking car – even if it’s more Targa than Roadster – and comes with the same 6.5 litre V12 and 0-62mph of just 3.0 seconds as the coupe. More importantly, especially if you get caught in a shower, the Aventador Roadster actually has a roof that can be removed and re-fitted in quick sticks.

BMW 1 Series dead in US after 2013

The coupe and convertible, meanwhile, are being replaced by the 2 Series, in convention with BMW's new naming scheme.

The thin C-pillar creates a coupelike appearance.
