full description and technical specifications The all-wheel-drive and all-wheel-steering super-car was able to hit the 60 mph (96 kph) in under three seconds. It was mated to a standard Lamborghini lightweight Independent Shifting Rod (ISR) 7-speed shifting system. The most important was the 6.5-liter V12 engine placed in front of the rear axle. The infotainment unit was little upgraded from the original, 2011, Aventador. The bucket-seats were covered in leather and bolstered for side support. It still looked like a cockpit from a fighter-jet, with toggle switches and a flap above the engine start button. A rear diffuser was installed under the bumper to reduce the ground effect. In the rear, the center-mounted exhaust was comprised of three angular-shaped pipes into a big, hexagonal, shape. From the side, the redesigned rear wheel arch resembled the one from the Countach. In the front, a new spoiler with body-color and carbon-fiber elements were blended in. The exterior design was modified to improve the aerodynamics and the aggressive look. After six years since it was launched the Aventador received an important upgrade with the S version. Lamborghini is known for building more special series from the same base product and that was the case with the Aventador which, in 2017, was introduced in the S-version with 740 hp.Īfter it was taken over by the Volkswagen Group, the Lamborghini car-maker started to increase its model range and to diversify each and every model it had on its stable. It had extensive use of carbon-fiber and it was built in a limited number of 63 units. The front bumper was wider and included side fins and new intakes.Īnother special edition, named SVJ 63 played homage to the foundation of the Lamborghini company, in 1963. Some were meant for increase speed, some for downforce. An advanced active aerodynamic system that opened and closed various flaps and wings depending on the driving speed and conditions. One of them was the ALA system, which stands for Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva. In order to achieve that time, the vehicle featured numerous updates. Its 6:44.97 minutes time was hard to beat by anyone. The limited-edition SVJ took the car to a different level after it broke the Nurburgring lap record for a series production vehicle. The Aventador was not a new vehicle in 2018, but still a respectable car in the fast car world. The 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox was retuned for the increased power and torque and the all-wheel-drive system had improved torque split to maximize traction and handling. The anti-roll bar stiffness has been improved by 50% compared to the Aventador SV, which was already a Super-fast version of the already fast Aventador. The Jota suffix denoted the track-oriented vehicle. The name stood for Super Veloce Jota, which can be translated in Super-fast Jota. The Lamborghini Aventador SVJ was showed at the 2018 Monterey Car Week in California and with its limited 900 units production, it will be a collectible vehicle. While it's not way faster than the Aventador S, the Ultimae was lighter and nimbler on the race track than its sibling. It was still mated to the same seven-speed (dual-clutch) automatic gearbox and sends the power in all corners. But, unlike the rest of the range, it offered 780 PS (770 hp) at a sky-high rev range. The Ultimae features a V12 engine behind the cabin like any other Aventador. At the same time, the Lamborghini logos on the headrests completed the unique image of the Ultimae. The contrast stitching made that even more obvious. Inside, the cockpit resembled the same fighter-jet-inspired atmosphere, with sport bucket seats deeply sculptured with a Y-pattern on the leather upholstery. ![]() At the back, a three-position active aerodynamic wing kept the car planted on the road at high speeds and at high-speed cornering maneuvers. On the sides, the Ultimae sported the same angular-shaped air intakes for the engine, placed behind the doors but adorned with unique decals. In addition, a splitter and an open air intake optimized the aerodynamics. ![]() The Ultimae received a redesigned front bumper that increased the downforce. Although, sometimes, these special editions were not as special as the vehicles they derived from. ![]() Moreover, it was the final Lamborghini fitted with a naturally aspirated V12 engine.Īs time went by, Lamborghini adopted the strategy of creating special models, which were sold with a lot more money than the regular versions. It was the last Aventador, the car that should end the 11 years career of the Italian supercar career after many other special editions.
