It's a Lambo so I'd have to get one of the loud colors. No purple though? That was the color for Diablo Roadsters.

I like em all, but give me a blue one with all black interior... silver wheels and blue calipers. I'll also pay extra to be moved up on the waiting list

actually that purple on the Diablo roadster was a special color for the 30th Anniversary Special Edition model (SE30). it was not mass-produced. have you ever seen any other <strike>Diablo</strike> Lamborghini in that color?

TIL

For some reason, I remember seeing the Roadster in that color a lot back in the '90s. Or maybe because I remember it from Exit Wounds

I think the unofficial configurator may be what you're looking for.
http://www.lambocars.com/configurato...one&bicolor=no

30th Lavender is the color from the SE30. Of course, through the Ad Personal program, you can pretty much get the car in any color you want.

Edit* A couple of the colors in this config. aren't exactly spot on like Blu Hera which isn't as dark, but it gives a pretty good glimpse of whatever dream combination you want.

To those who may have been hoping to see a large amount of photos of the Roadster now that it's at the LA Auto Show, Lamborghini instead decided the car would only be shown to certain groups.






The Lamborghini Aventador Roadster dropped its top for a select group of media during the 2012 L.A. auto show, giving us an up close and personal look at Lambo’s latest open-air bull. Finished in dark blue, the Aventador’s razor-sharp bodywork still looks menacing with a detachable roof.


The 2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster sports the same ground-shaking naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 of the coupe – still tuned to 691 hp and 509 lb-ft of torque. The big difference, naturally, is in the roadster’s ability to remove its roof. Two panels stored in the front storage compartment snap into place to form the roof. Those panels, as we got to experience for ourselves, felt surprisingly light. Thanks to their mostly carbon fiber construction, the roof pieces weigh around 13 pounds each. Proving that chivalry is still alive and well in the Lamborghini camp, the roof panels must be installed in a specific order: passenger first, driver second. That way, if it begins to rain, your date will be the first to receive shelter.

Lamborghini says the Aventador Roadster will do 0-60 mph in under 3.0 seconds, which isn’t hard for us to believe considering that we clocked the coupe version at 2.8 seconds. To compensate for the lack of a fixed roof, the rear pillar has been reinforced for increased structural integrity.

Steven Bell, I'm sorry.
http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/04/l...r-is-sold-out/
Well, that happened quickly. The $441,600 Lamborghini Aventador Roadster is, according to reports, already sold out in every market around the world until at least the middle of 2014.

Boasting a 6.5-liter V12 that churns out a heady 690 horsepower, there's little wondering why the cars are so popular. But with its finicky carbon fiber rooflet, $3,700 gas guzzler tax and and an MSRP that sits considerably higher than the hardtop version's price tag, the Aventador Roadster requires a very specific type of buyer. Lamborghini isn't saying how many of the new dropheads have been sold, but we're told hand raisers won't get their keys until mid-summer at the earliest.

If you need a refresher on what makes this particular Lamborghini worth nearly half a million dollars, you can check out the photos and videos from the machine's unveiling in Miami here.
