A Lamborghini Aventador, a roof box, and the question: Why take the SUV anyway?
Sometimes a great vacation doesn't take much.
A Lamborghini Aventador.
The right company.
A good road.
And enough space for the luggage.
We experienced this exact combination with our ASPHALTKIND performance roof box at Lake Como and later in St. Moritz.
And scarcely any vehicle encapsulates our vision of travel performance better than the Aventador.
After all, another car would undoubtedly be more practical for an extended journey.
Yet, which car would one rather drive across an Alpine pass?
Is it possible to mount a roof box on a Lamborghini Aventador?
Yes. ASPHALTKIND performance roof boxes have already been fitted to the Lamborghini Aventador and deployed on real road trips.
For this, the super sports car requires no conventional roof rails.
Depending on the vehicle configuration, alternative mounting solutions can be utilized and custom-tailored to the automobile.
Precisely this approach has now become central to our work.
An Aventador is not a vehicle on which we would simply install a conventional universal carrier.
Instead, we evaluate the roof surface, vehicle configuration, and intended use as a cohesive whole.
The Lamborghini does not need to conform to the carrier. The carrier solution must conform to the Lamborghini.
With the Lamborghini Aventador at Lake Como
Lake Como is one of those places where an Aventador feels completely natural and yet utterly surreal at the same time.
Narrow roads.
Historic architecture.
Mountains rising directly from the water.
And amidst it all, a Lamborghini equipped with a carbon fiber roof box.
For us, this exact combination was one of those moments where the entire ASPHALTKIND concept suddenly became very simple to explain.
Naturally, we could have undertaken the same journey in a larger vehicle.
However, the drive there would have simply been a transit.
In the Aventador, it becomes an integral part of the trip.
To us, that is the defining difference.
From Lake Como to the Swiss Alps
A performance roof box should not merely look impressive parked outside a hotel.
It must perform dynamically on the road.
That is why, for us, the roads between destinations are just as much a part of the story as the photographs taken at the destination itself.
With the Aventador, our journeys extended far beyond Como. St. Moritz and the Swiss Alps are equally integral to the story of this vehicle equipped with an ASPHALTKIND roof box.
Snow, mountain passes, and long-distance stages quickly reveal whether a striking concept has genuinely evolved into a viable travel product.
Precisely for this reason, this content is of paramount importance to us.
This combination was not created merely for a photo shoot. We actually drive it.
Why an Aventador requires additional storage capacity in the first place
Nobody purchases an Aventador for its daily usability.
The V12 engine, the design, and the overall driving experience rightfully take center stage.
However, as soon as two people embark on a multi-day trip, luggage quickly becomes a consideration.
Even a weekend getaway demands more than a small bag.
Jackets, shoes, and clothing require space. During winter, bulky equipment adds to the volume.
And suddenly, the very scenario we observe with many supercars arises:
The perfect car for the road remains at home because the more practical vehicle can accommodate more luggage.
It is precisely this compromise that we aim to eliminate.
Approximately 400 liters of additional capacity for the Lamborghini Aventador
The ASPHALTKIND performance roof box provides around 400 liters of supplementary storage space.
This creates an entirely different travel experience when mounted on an Aventador.
Instead of meticulously utilizing every square centimeter inside the vehicle, a major portion of the luggage can be transported on the roof.
This does not magically transform the Lamborghini into a practical daily driver.
Nor would that ever be our objective.
It simply ensures that the Aventador can be utilized for a significantly broader range of journeys.
And that, to us, is considerably more compelling.
The roof box must not compromise the lines of the Aventador
Scarcely any vehicle possesses a silhouette as distinctive as the Lamborghini Aventador.
Consequently, any roof box mounted upon it is bound to draw significant attention.
This can either look wrong.
Or amazingly right.
Our standard is clearly the latter.
The low-profile, elongated shape of our performance roof box is designed to integrate seamlessly with the vehicle's lines rather than sitting atop it like an awkward foreign body.
At the same time, the material plays a crucial role.
Carbon fiber is already an integral part of the technical and visual identity of an Aventador.
Therefore, we do not want to hide the fact that there is a roof box up there. We want it to feel like an organic part of the overall design concept.
Carbon fiber, body color, or custom design
Every Aventador features a unique configuration.
Precisely why the roof box should not be a one-size-fits-all solution.
We can custom-tailor the ASPHALTKIND performance roof box to match each individual vehicle.
Available options include, for example:
- Exposed carbon fiber
- Gloss black
- Matte black
- Custom body color paint finish
- Custom accent colors
- Stripes or graphic elements
- ASPHALTKIND branding
- completely clean finish
This allows the roof box to incorporate existing carbon fiber components, paint finishes, or other details of the Lamborghini.
Ultimately, the goal is not just for a roof box to suit an Aventador. It should suit this specific Aventador.
A roof box on a Lamborghini is more than just a visual gimmick
Naturally, an Aventador equipped with a roof box commands attention.
A great deal of it, in fact.
This comes with the territory and constitutes part of its appeal.
Nevertheless, creating a mere show car would fall short of our standards.
ASPHALTKIND was not born out of the idea to build unusual vehicles solely for social media.
The initial question was a practical one:
How can we travel in sports cars when luggage space is severely limited?
Consequently, real-world mileage, varying weather conditions, and long-distance travel are fundamental to our product ecosystem.
Como and St. Moritz embody precisely that.
Not just to look at.
Drive it.
Performance doesn't stop at the engine.
With the Aventador, almost everything revolves around emotion.
V12.
Sound.
Design.
Mechanics.
For us, however, performance means more than just engine output.
Even a product mounted on the roof of such a car must address aerodynamics, stability, lightweight construction, and a suitable vehicle integration.
These four pillars have guided the development of our roof box from the very beginning.
At the same time, design is never an afterthought for us.
A high-performance roof box must function flawlessly while still looking desirable on an Aventador.
Only then does it truly match the car.
Why a road trip in an Aventador is different
A flight to Milan would probably be faster.
An SUV would probably be more comfortable.
And a large estate car would probably offer even more storage space.
But that is not always what a road trip is about.
Sometimes it is precisely about making the less efficient choice because it makes for a better story.
Through Northern Italy with the Aventador.
Along Lake Como.
Then towards the Alps.
And finally, complete with a roof box, through the snow of St. Moritz.
The journey becomes part of the destination.
Precisely for journeys like these, we develop ASPHALTKIND.
From the Aventador to the Aventador SVJ
Our experience with the Aventador model series is not limited to a single configuration.
We have also showcased the ASPHALTKIND performance roof box on an Aventador SVJ and evaluated various vehicle concepts.
Particularly with more extreme versions, however, it becomes evident how crucial an individualized approach to the vehicle attachment is.
Aerodynamic elements, carbon fiber roofs, or special equipment can influence which carrier solution is appropriate.
Therefore, we tailor each system to the specific vehicle configuration.
