The Lamborghini Aventador Roadster and the Gallardo Spyder are both known as Italian super-cars that are designed by the same manufacture. On the other hand, these two cars also feature many differences.

In the Spyder, the 5.5L V10 produces 560 HP and 398 lb-ft of torque through a 6 speed manual with power going through all four wheels.

Mercedes E-Class Convertible

While the Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan and E63 AMG sedan have been spotted with varying degrees of camouflage today we can share new spy shots of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class convertible as well as a Mercedes teaser video of what appears to be the headlights of the new E-Class. 

Like the 2014 E-Class sedan, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class convertible is expected to get revised front and rear bumpers as well as one-piece headlights. Once the convertible rolls into dealerships, it may have a more upright grille and a more chiseled hood, like the car shown here. Refreshed LED taillights are also in the four-seat drop-tops future. 

In contrast to the upcoming E-Class sedan, on the two-door 2014 E-Class models the bulging rear fenders will carry on until at least until the next-generation arrives. Check out this new teaser video from Mercedes showing its new headlight direction with new LEDs that look remarkably similar to those on the new E-Class mules we've seen.
