the Lamborghinis, for the first time ever, exceeded the passenger airliner take-off speed on a runway which is between 150 mph and 180 mph. No current jet aircraft reaches 210 mph on the ground, the clocked speed of the 700 hp vehicles during the closed-course drive demonstration.
Prior to the high speed demonstration, the Lamborghinis were joined by an American Airlines Boeing 777 and lined-up for a photo shoot on the runway. Due to integrated planning on behalf of Miami-Dade officials and the FAA, there was no impact on flight arrivals and departures.
"It has been a great pleasure to work with the Miami-Dade Aviation Department and South Beach teams on today's amazing demonstrations. I have never seen something similar at a Lamborghini event," said Stephan
Winkelmann. "The Aventador Roadster is our most exciting production car ever and I can think of no better place to celebrate its launch than here in Miami."
The Aventador Roadster is the newest open-top version of Lamborghini's flagship vehicle. With a 700 hp, 6.5-litre V12 engine, the Aventador Roadster reaches 60 mph in less than three seconds and boasts a top speed of 217 mph. The vehicle's removable top features high-tech, lightweight carbon fiber technologies to achieve a low weight of just 26 pounds.
"Lamborghini is a forward-thinking brand, and today's event on our runway was an all-around success," said Ken Pyatt, Miami-Dade Deputy Aviation Director. "Both our organisations are focused on efficient performance and providing our customers with innovations."
