We meet the man in the red suit chilling out in a bar in the North Pole on Christmas Eve at 6:30 PM ordering multiple milkshakes with no intention to leave. The clock ticks pass 10 PM, but Santa shows no desire to stop drinking milkshakes, much to the dismay of the grumpy barman.

For YouTube channel owner and auto enthusiast Marchetinno, it’s all about the great sports cars he managed to capture on camera.
In particular, Marchetinno compiled a 12-minute long video with the best sports- and super-car sounds, ranging from pocket rockets like the Abarth 500 to the Swedish exotic Koenigsegg Agera R and pure racing models such as the Porsche 911 GT3 and F1 cars.

However, wanting and being able to obtain the roofless Aventador J Speedster are two different things. Even if you could afford it, Lamborghini only built one specimen that was sold to an unnamed buyer even before we laid our eyes on the car.

Up until recent years, replica car builders looked at the Pontiac Fiero when it came to cloning mid-engined models, but it's getting harder and harder to find worthwhile vehicles on the market, be that because the last ones were manufactured back in 1988, or because most of them have already been transformed into other models.

There are still those who insist that vinyl records are way superior than compact discs, never mind that even that medium will soon join the one it replaced and give way to the fully-digital media.
In much the same way, there are people who bemoan the fact that semi-auto transmissions are becoming the new standard in supercars and manual gearboxes are getting pretty rare.

For those of you wondering why, to put it simply, the open-top Murcielago's roof was a cosmetic and engineering joke, especially for a vehicle that cost in the region of $400,000.
Not that Lamborghini's engineers pushed themselves in any way with the Aventador LP700-4 Roadster, but at least the carbonfibre targa tops seem fairly easy to operate and mount on the exotic supercar's roof.

The first addition to the hugely successful Aventador, which has already sold some 1,300 units since its introduction in summer of 2011, thankfully foregoes the annoyingly fiddly fabric cover of its Murcielago Roadster predecessor in favor of a lightweight, two-piece hard top made out of carbon fiber.
Just like other open-top supercars, including Ferrari’s 458 Spider and McLaren’s MP4-12C Spyder, the Aventador Roadster is actually more of a targa than an all-out roadster.
Unlike those models, though, the Lambo's roof is not electrically operated as it must be removed by hand. Lamborghini, however, claims that its design and low weight (less than 6 kg/13 pounds) make it easy to handle. When removed, it is stored in the front luggage compartment, while going topless or putting it back on is a matter of seconds.
While no one else will have the opportunity to ride the Aventador J, German tuner of all things exotic, DMC, wants to apply some of the unique styling cues found on the speedster to the mainstream" Aventador LP700-4 coupe through a new customization program.

With the VW Group’s (very) deep pockets and Lamborghini’s expressed will to expand its portfolio you can mull over a lot of, let’s say, unusual ideas.
The rumor mill has been suggesting that the company is considering a 2+2 version of the Aventador. Well, Ferrari tried it with the 2+2 mid-engined 308 GT4 in 1973, admittedly without much success, and Lotus is currently doing it with the Evora.
