Lamborghini's Speedbike on Four Wheels


For the most hardcore, car-loving honeymooners, what could be better than the new Lamborghini Avendator J roadster? Sure, buying her a new Car CD Player  or Car Navigation System would be nice, but the way to thrill a real car lover is throwing that out the window (if this car had any) and getting this speedbike on four wheels instead.
 
Think of it now: you, her, nestled into carbon-fiber woven seats jetting 300kmh down the road, hearing the roar of that 700hp engine over the howling wind rushing by you. The experience sounds incredible, but as with most great things, a few scarifies must be made.  The first that comes to mind is the fact that with no windshield or windows to speak of, that howling wind (and everything living/flying in it) will be intimately associated with your face.

That is, unless, you invest in some awesome full face helmets with two way communicators. You can make the helmets match the car! Then you can comment and laugh at all the people staring wide-eyed at the work of machine-speed-art you’ve blessed upon their consciousness. The best part is, with those full face helmets you two can have your own private laugh fest while all the rest of the world sees is your best stoic Stig impressions.

 Investing in helmets that have good ventilation will be key to both of your comfort, however, as there will be no climate control in this beast. As the car as no roof or windshield to speak of, the outside weather will be directly associated with how much enjoyment you will get from driving the car. Sweltering, miserable heat with huge clouds of insects? Might want to pass. Glorious fall day with lots of sun and a cool breeze? Best. Day. Ever.

If those obstacles don’t deter you, and you have a few million dollars to spare to impress your sweetheart, there’s only one more roadblock to parking this in your garage. While the Avendator J is not a concept car and is for sale, after the Geneva Motor Show this year, they will not be making any more units. Not even for the Lamorghini Museum (so zipping in Mission Impossible style isn’t an option). So your one and only chance is to try and buy it off the guy who already paid 2.1 million euros for it (at the current exchange rate for the day, that will run you about 2.76 million dollars). As you can imagine, the chances of that happening are pretty slim. Oh well, at least we can all enjoy these amazing photos and know that someone, somewhere, is living the dream of driving this through the Tuscan countryside.
