I'm gonna guess 7 in the middle east and 2 in China. 3 of the buyers in the middle east probably already have the hard-top versions.  | |

Do they have one that's a little "busier?"
It's a little plain, and the wind still has some choice on where to go.

Definitely overdoing it as far as design goes...

| $4.5 million Lamborghini Veneno Roadster can hit 221 mph - NY Daily News
A 4.5 million dollar Lambo that can go 221 mph (about 354 km/h).
The front of the car still looks like Megatron of the Decepticons.

The lambo is still faster than 99.9% of the cars out there and is ultra rare. Driving the Lambo is about showing off how much money you have. One think you have to learn is no matter what car you drive there will always be something faster.

I think supercars nowadays aren't that super anymore.
Back in 1980s or 1990s, there were quite distinctive difference between so called sportscars and supercars.
Porsche 911 GT1, McLaren F1, Lamborghini Diablo, Jaguar XJ220, Ferrari F40, Ferrari F50, Bugatti EB110, etc..
were significantly faster than
Toyota Supra, Nissan Skyline GTR, Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Pontiac Firebird, Mazda RX-7, Mitsubishi 3000GT, etc.
Sure, supercars could show off how wealthy you were back in the day too, but they were so much faster, more powerful, any everything.
Nowadays GT-Rs and ZR1s putting Ferraris and Lambos in shame, even Mustangs going 200mpg with 662hp, Camaro going faster on Nurburgring than Ferraris and Lambos for much less price.

Even in Nanaimo vettes a dime a dozen in some area's and the GTR does not really stand out look wise. Rather own a manual Lambo over a GTR anyday knowing the GTR is faster. When you have 4oo to 500 house power in a car specs don't really matter because it's all just excessive overkill.

What's the difference between R32 GT-R V Spec and Lamborghini Diablo SE30 Jota?
2.6L Inline-6 276bhp
0-60mph 5.6 sec
Topspeed: 255km/h (governed to 180km/h) 
5.7L V12 595bhp
0-60mph: 3.7 sec
Topspeed: 340km/h 
As you can see, the difference was quite significant back in the day..and now, R35 can beat Lambo in both acceleration and cornering.
Which one would I rather have? sure Lambo because it looks better. But being slower than the GT-R does NOT help.
I'm not saying average joe is going to hit 300+km/h, but people would still buy it for braggin rights, like Veyron.
