All I know is that the doors of a Lamborghini open like that. I've never seen one that color before though so I looked it up.

The original is arguably the best value. Currently, the condition #2 (“Excellent”) average value is an even $1M for a Miura P400, $1.2M for a P400 S, and $2.1M for a P400 SV, while the condition #1 (“Concours” or “best-in-the-world”) values range from $1.3M for a Miura P400 to $2.45M for a P400 SV.15 Feb 2021
Just 25 Miuras may not sound many, but then Lamborghini built fewer than 800 of these iconic coupés between 1966 and 1973. Only 400 are still believed to be in existence, and the cars here are some of the very best.31 Jul 2016

All that talk a couple years ago about Swiatek not getting the endorsements that a player of her calibre deserved. I'm not sure if she changed agents, or it just took a little while for the sponsors to find her, but I'm glad she's pulling in the big brands now.

Is using "roadster" in a Lamborghini car name even necessary? It obviously doesn't go off-road. Also, he's a big guy for a car like that. I'd have gone for a much more chic vintage convertible anything.

Roadster is used to tell a car that has a drop top, usually made of canvas. A car with a hard top that you can remove is a Targa. A two seater with a non removable hard top is a coupe.
Lambo makes them in both coupe and roadster form.
About going with a more vintage convertible? Sure. You can go for a Miura, which is usually in the list of most beautiful cars ever (Ferrari California GT, AM Db 5, MB SL 300 Gullwing and the such) but that Aventador is one of the new classics

thanks for the clarification. I can see the attraction, kinda. I just don't love the "transformer" look that much.

I hate it. The new cars are being all designed with an ORIGAMI fashion, with a thousand cuts and folds. They are all angular and with sharp edges. Lambo is one of the guiltiest parts, with BMW maybe second worst.
But you know me, the old man yelling at clouds. This is the new trend and not much that can be done. These are the new cars and Grigor certainly has the money to drive that one. And pick up Alize Lim.
