"The 2013 Lamborghini Aventador Roadster is due at the Geneva Auto Show in a few days times and, judging from these spy photos, one prototype is already getting used to an alpine lifestyle. Caught on snow-covered roads in the arctic, these images were captured by an amateur photographer as the new drop-top Aventador streaked past. We&amp;#039;re assuming the Lambo was the one doing the passing, of course, since not many vehicles on earth can surpass the thunderous power of the 691-bhp 6.5-liter V-12 engine in this Italian supercar.        2013 Lamborghini Aventador Roadster    Put Your Name on the List   During our test drive of the Aventador LP700-4 coupe, we said it &amp;quot;could well be the most impressive car yet to come from Sant&amp;#039;Agata.&amp;quot; Under the stewardship of VW/Audi AG, the Italian sports car company has managed to blend core attributes \u2013 such as awesome engines and jaw-dropping shapes \u2013 with a much higher degree of quality and refinement. Don&amp;#039;t get us wrong; the Aventador is still a raucous ride. The car&amp;#039;s 217-mph top speed and the sub-3.0 second sprint from 0 to 60 mph are stunning proof.        2013 Lamborghini Aventador Roadster    During our drive, we also noted the exterior could be the wildest shape to emerge from Lamborghini in years. It&amp;#039;s edgier and more in your face than the outgoing Murci\u00E9lago, or even the Diablo that came before it. The Aventador Roadster looks nearly identical to the coupe, and the removable roof panel is likely made of lightweight carbon fiber \u2013 a big step up from the Murci\u00E9lago Roadster&amp;#039;s flimsy fabric top. However, it&amp;#039;s not clear if Lamborghini has provided an actual place to stow the panel onboard, or if owners will have to leave it at home and hope for uninterrupted sunshine.        2013 Lamborghini Aventador Roadster    Performance should be nearly identical to the standard Aventador&amp;#039;s, since both share the fire-breathing V-12 engine, 7-speed single-clutch ISR gearbox and standard all-wheel drive. Lamborghini has paid special attention to limiting weight, and the Aventador&amp;#039;s carbon fiber tub weighs only 325 lb. Lamborghini could choose to limit the top speed of the Roadster, for either aerodynamic or safety concerns. Though it&amp;#039;s guaranteed this car should still be able to top the magic 200-mph mark.        2013 Lamborghini Aventador Roadster    Sadly for us mere mortals, the Aventador Roadster is also pretty much certain to crest the $400,000 barrier when it goes on sale. Even if you&amp;#039;re lucky enough to have that kind of cash on hand, you could be out of luck when it comes to getting your hands on this new Lamborghini. In many markets around the world, the waiting list for the current Aventador LP700-4 stretches to more than a year. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
