European pricing for the 2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster was released when the model was officially introduced early this week, but we had to wait a few extra days to see how much customers over here should expect to pay for the topless supercar. Now, Lamborghini has announced that US-bound versions of its new roadster will run $441,600, which doesn't include the $3,700 gas-guzzler tax, meaning the Aventador Roadster will wear a base MSRP of at least $445,300.

As a refresher, this new roadster is a topless version of the 700-horsepower, all-wheel-drive Aventador, and it features a two-piece removable top made of carbon fiber (each weighing in at around 13 pounds) that can be stored in the front trunk. Performance figures include a 0-60 time of under three seconds and a top speed of 217 miles per hour. Lamborghini is currently taking orders for the Aventador Roadster with the car set to go on sale next summer.

Lamborghini Aventador Roadster caught keeping it cool

According to our spy photographers, the blurry black missile you see above is none other than the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster out for some cold weather testing in Northern Sweden.

While there's a good bit of camo trying to hide the drop top, look closely and you can see a few more lines on the roof than usual. While we fully expected to see a cloth top akin to the cover on the Murcielago Roadster, this bruiser looks to be wearing a carbon fiber shell up top. At this point, it's unclear whether the top will be stowable on board or whether owners will have to hire someone to drive along behind them with the roof in tow.

Is there anything more magical than a 700-horsepower V12 crammed into a convertible carbon-fiber shell? The answer is no, there isn't. The hardtop version can crank all the way up to 217 mph. It remains to be seen whether or not the roadster version will be able to maintain that lofty mark.
