Lamborghini Aventador Roadster vs Aventador coupe - full length challenge video

Two Aventadors. One test track. One question: which is better, a Lamborghini Aventador coupe or an Aventador Roadster? We see how far they can jump, how hard they can drift and how fast they really are.

We took two Lamborghini Aventadors to our favourite test track to answer some of our more outrageous questions. Can a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster jump further than its coupe brother; which makes the more intoxicating noise, which is best for drifting and, of course, which is faster? Let the battle commence.

Roadster driver sure knows how to make it look good in a corner. 

Those were some damn gorgeous drifts.

[keyboarddancers]

I simply cannot see the point of having such an outrageous car without the option of going topless.

[parismalaspinas]

lamborghini aventador is the sexiest lambo ever made. And the first lambo that i really like.

[kinjat]

2:15 that's called destructive interference, some wave components combine out of phase at his smartphones microphone, hence less received power.

[mahonig]

the most beautiful scene of the car is between 5:01 - 5:10, the exhausts look amazing

[ashfaquehoque]

i would still buy the coupe !! it's too damn gorgeous !!

[JayBlue]

Yeah, it's probably because you're using a crap decibel app, rather than a proper decibel-o-meter. The apps have maximum readings.

[andreshates]

this is absolutely brilliant! my hat is off to you guys! 

[deepakdongre]

My heart beats at just the site of this stunning looking Lambo...seeing it all in so much action- my heartbeat just hit the rev limiter ;)

[kuckian]

i love how you just fucking jumped it and threw it around the corners lmfao!

[xinZoSo]

yeah, metering sound with an iPhone, you might have just called this video "teenagers with 2 lambos"

[mattvtec]

I was smiling throughout the entire vid.. Good job Autocar!

[davidcatanzaro]

Easily one of the best sounding engines of all time. Also one of the best looking supercars of all time.

[BReWeDKnOwLeDGe]

i will have you aventador by next year :D

[ForeverFlame]

The DEFINITION of bliss: A drifting fuckin' Lamborghini Aventador!!! 

[dragonage]

Wait what?? Shouldn't the one that stays planted on the ground be better than the one that flies?? Assuming you attack the crest at the same speed with cars of identical weight, the car that doesn't fly would mean that it has better downforce

[TheBigBazzy]

Sick video. I too would ignore the slight difference and go for the roadster

[pleasemakeduaaforme]

I WAS CONFUSED TILL NOW because I didn’t know the difference in names. But I knew the difference in shape and I’ve always wanted the ROADSTER shape. Always. The coupes look good but idk, I like the wider look.

[be]

thankyou autocar magazine...i did not even know you guys/gals even did this review... i think i just came in my pants...

[EVILSPAWN]

Was the clutch about to go on the roadster? To me it looked like the smoke thru that last corner was way more than what the amount of wheelspin would indicate, and the coupe didn`t smoke at
