Its cockpit is fitted with a front duel stage driver airbag and front adaptive passenger airbag, as well as head-thorax airbags in both seats and driver knee airbags for added protection.In addition, the Aventador’s brakes are second to none, featuring a dual hydraulic circuit brake system with added vacuum brake booster.Set to cost \u20ac300,000 (\u00a3239,745) excluding taxes, the new roadster is certain to go down well with fans of the Lamborghini style, both old and new.Speak to the performance, prestige and sports car insurance team at Performance Direct for an expert, professional service and a choice of cover from the UK’s leading specialist insurance underwriters.Images: www.lamborghini.comPosted by Mark Thompson"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Sports Performance Prestige Cars","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/sports-performance-prestige-cars\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Topless Aventador unveiled by Lamborghini","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/sports-performance-prestige-cars\/topless-aventador-unveiled-by-lamborghini\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
