The letter “J” in its name comes from the sporting rules of the FIA world motorsport organization where its “Appendix J” defines the technical specification of race cars in the various classes. The Aventador J Speedster is more than just an Aventador with its top removed. The windscreen has been replaced by two small wind deflectors, the carbon fiber monocoque has been redesigned and two safety bars have been added behind the seats.

With an emphasis on weight-reduction, the exterior employs more carbon-fiber materials, while the interior benefits from a new carbon fiber fabric called “Carbonskin” that is said to be soft and supple enough to be used on the seats and cabin trim.

The interior is focused solely on the art and science of going fast. The J ditches the majority of the Aventador’s entertainment systems and other luxuries (like air conditioning), all in the name of saving weight to improve performance.

Aventador J is powered by Lamborghini’s new 6.5L, 12-cylinder powerplant with 700-hp, mated to their ISR transmission with a permanent all-wheel drive. The open version Aventador also sports a newly-designed monocoque and the Aventador J has a dry weight of less than 3,500 lbs.

Most interesting is that the Aventador J will be available for sale, but it’ll be the only one. Lamborghini specified in their release that “there is only one of them, no prototypes and no others for the Lamborghini Museum.
