And now, we talk about another Italian Hot Wheels Car. It's Lamborghini Aventador J. I have two color of them : blue and yellow. They are part of 2014 HW Workshop. I've got them in a little toy store.
Aventador J made the debut as a part of 2013 HW Showroom - All Stars. The first edition has come in metalflake dark red.

But, This is how aventador got its name. :)
I'm kidding. :D
In Lamborghini tradition, the Aventador is also named after a fighting bull. Aventador is the name of a specimen, raised in the stables of Celestino Quadri
Vides, which in 1993 made furore in the arena of Zaragoza. Here, the
animal receives the Trofeo de la Pena La Madronera for incredible
courage demonstrate over the violent and bloody confrontation. The name
chosen by the Italian officials honors Feruccio Lamborghini, who decided
that his astrological sign to become a philosophy for the car brand.
Real Life
Lamborghini Aventador J is the roadster version of the
Lamborghini Aventador. Powered by a rear engined V12, this car has no
windows and roofs. It also has it's radio and air conditioning system
removed to save the weight of the car. First introduced on the 2012
Geneva Motor Show, this car is considered as one of the rarest cars.
The roofless and windowless concept car uses the same V12 engine as the
standard Aventador, producing 700 hp through a lightweight seven-speed
automated transmission. The car does not have air conditioning or radio
to save further weight for a total of 3,472 pounds (1,575 kg). The car presented at the Geneva show was the only unit to be produced, and was sold for US$2.8 million. Another Limited Edition model was made for Shaikh Al Yahyaa and was sold at an unknown price.
The J designation was thought to have come from Appendix J in the FIA rulebook that describes the technical specifications of race cars. However, during an interview with designer Filippo Perini, it was revealed that the 'J' actually stands for Jota, in reference to a 1970s one off Lamborghini Miura Jota, which also conformed to the FIA's Appendix J regulations.
