The Lamborghini Aventador is the replacement of the legendary V12 Supercar Lamborghini Murcielago. It is coded LB834 and LB835 for the roadster version. For Lamborghini, design is always the beauty of aggressive power, the elegance of breathtaking dynamics. From the very first glance, the new Aventador is unmistakably a Lamborghini, clothed in the brand's characteristic and distinctive design language - with its extremely powerful proportions, its exact lines and precise surfaces, and with taut muscularity in every one of its details. The designers in the Centro Stile Lamborghini have carefully developed this design language to give the Lamborghini Aventador a significant new edge. It is an avantgarde work of art, an incredibly dynamic sculpture, from the sharply honed front end through the extremely low roofline to the distinctive rear diffuser. Every line has a clear function, every form is dictated by its need for speed, yet the overall look is nothing less than spectacular and breathtaking. For the further development of the Lamborghini design language, designers pulled their inspiration from another sphere dominated by speed and dynamics - from modern aeronautics, from the world's fastest and most agile aircraft. This gave rise to a design of maximum functionality and spectacular sharpness, an extremely precise and highly technical design language with a new kind of vitality. Powerfully defined lines and taut surfaces create a fascinating interplay of light and shade, endowing the car with tremendous visual movement. The limited edition Reventón - a work of automotive art - and the Sesto Elemento 'technology demonstrator' were forerunners of this philosophy: the Aventador is the first Lamborghini series production car embodying this vision.
The Aventador, of course, also follows the mid-engine concept, with the vehicle weight concentrated around the vertical axis to reduce inertia and optimize dynamics. With the legendary Countach, Lamborghini was a pioneer of mid-engine construction, its revolutionary concept bringing racing technology to the road. The design of the Lamborghini Aventador adds visual emphasis to the mid-engine layout, with a look that concentrates its power on the rear axle. This was the fifth of the V12 Lamborghini models produced over the years
Recent Changes
- The roadster variant of the new Aventador S followed up in 2017 at the Frankfurt International Motor Show. The roadster is mechanically identical to the coupé with the only difference being the engine cover (identical to the standard Aventador roadster), two carbon fibre removable roof panels (weighing less than 6 kg (13 lb) stowable in the front compartment of the car and new optional wheels. The roadster is 50 kg (110 lb) heavier than the coupé due to chassis reinforcing components due to which it accelerates from 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in 3.2 seconds, 0.3 seconds slower than the coupe.
- The last variant of the Aventador was announced at the premiere on Lamborghini's social channels in July 2021. It is limited to 600 units (350 for the Coupé, 250 for the Roadster). It has all the standard features of the Aventador S and SVJ. It produces a maximum output of 780 PS (574 kW; 769 hp) and the same 720 N⋅m (531 lb⋅ft) of torque as the Aventador SVJ. Lamborghini claims that it can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 2.8 seconds. The top speed is claimed to be 356 km/h (221 mph). The Coupé has a claimed kerb weight of 1,550 kg (3,417 lb). It was also announced that the production of all the Lamborghini Aventadors will be stopped by the end of 2021.
- Unveiled at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the Aventador SVJ (Super Veloce Jota) is a track focused iteration of the Aventador S and an improvement over the Aventador SV. The 6.5-litre L539 V12 engine used in the entire Aventador lineage has been reworked and now generates a maximum power output of 770 PS (566 kW; 759 hp) at 8,500 rpm and 720 N⋅m (531 lb⋅ft) of torque at 6,750 rpm. The weight saving measures such as the extensive use of carbon fibre, and titanium in the exhaust system has brought the weight down to 1,525 kg (3,362 lb), giving the car a power-to-weight ratio of 0.5 hp/kg. The Aventador SVJ can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 2.8 seconds and 0–200 km/h (0–124 mph) in 8.6 seconds and can attain a top speed of over 352 km/h (219 mph).

Safety
This kind of extreme power must be delivered reliably to the road. The driver of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 can depend fully on its permanent all-wheel drive - indicated by the 4 in the model designation. In the driveline, an electronically controlled Haldex coupling distributes the forces between front and rear. In a matter of milliseconds, this coupling adapts the force distribution to match the dynamic situation. A self-blocking rear differential together with a front differential electronically controlled by ESP make for even more dynamic handling. The Drive Select Mode System enables the driver to choose vehicle characteristics (engine, transmission, differential, steering and dynamic control) from three settings - Strada (road), Sport and Corsa (track) - to suit his individual preferences.

Unique Attributes
The design of the Aventador incorporates the design some previous Lamborghini models such as the Murcielago, Gallardo (Both the original and the LP560-4),Reventon, Countach, Estoque Concept, Diablo and the Sesto Elemento Concept. The etymology of the name comes from Lamborghini's traditional fascination with the world of bullfighting. In this case, the Aventador was named for a Spanish fighting bull, that bore the number 32 singed on his hide, from the breeding stables of the sons of Don Celestino Cuadri Vides. Aventador gained fame in 1993 in the town of Zaragoza, Spain after a notably spirited, bloody and violent battle with a torero that earned it the “Trofeo de la Peña La Madroñera" for its courage.The Aventador is considered as the most charismatic Lamborghini ever made by some reviewers.
Just like previous Lamborghini flagship models, Aventador features their signature scissor doors, but in this case they feature a new hinge system which opens the doors upward and outside, allowing not only a pre-windowed and frame-free style door, but also letting the driver have more room for getting in an out, and also gives the possibility of opening in case of rollover.
Interior
The Aventador's spacious interior combines the fine exclusivity of premium materials and perfect Italian craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology and generous equipment. The red switch cover on the broad center tunnel encloses the start button used to awaken the twelve-cylinder. The interior is dominated by a next-generation dashboard - as in a modern airplane, the instruments are presented on a TFT-LCD screen using innovative display concepts. A second screen is dedicated to the standard-fit multimedia and navigation system.
Criticisms
- Autocar UK described the Aventador as being outrageous. They also say that the steering wheel is light yet precise.
- Top Gear found the grip of the Aventador unbelievable, was impressed by the handling, top speed and brutal acceleration. Richard Hammond said he could just throw it around a corner of the testcircuit at a ridiculous speed and it would just go around like it was nothing. He remarked the push-rod suspension is clever, however he was disapopinted that the car couldn't scare him a little more like a Lamborghini should. "A proper car, rather than a machine that wants to kill you."

Aventador LP 770-4 SVJ
Unveiled at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the Aventador SVJ (Super Veloce Jota) is a powerful and track focused iteration of the Aventador SV. The 6.5-litre L539 V12 engine used in the entire Aventador lineage has been reworked and now produces a maximum power output of 770 PS (566 kW; 759 hp) at 8,500 rpm and 720 N⋅m (531 lb⋅ft) of torque at 6,750 rpm. The weight saving measures such as the extensive use of carbon fibre and titanium in the exhaust system has brought the weight down to just 1,525 kg (3,362 lb), giving the car a power-to-weight ratio of 1.98 kg/hp. The Aventador SVJ can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 2.8 seconds and 0–200 km/h (0–124 mph) in 8.6 seconds and can attain a top speed of over 349 km/h (217 mph).
A prototype of the variant had previously made a new production car lap around the Nurbürgring Nordscheleife in July 2018, beating the previous record holder, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS by setting a lap time of 6:44.97 with Lamborghini test driver Marco Mapelli behind the wheel achieved by using the Pirelli Trofeo R tyres available with the car as an option.[42]
The Aventador SVJ is the first production V12 Lamborghini model to feature Lamborghini's Aerodynamica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA) system. This allows the car to achieve 40% more downforce than the Aventador SV and 1% reduction in the coefficient of drag. The system adds aerodynamic components to the car including a disconnected front splitter, tri-dimensional air outlet on the bonnet, a large carbon fibre rear wing with a central fin, underbody aero design with vortex generators, and a large rear diffuser. The system works in conjunction with Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Attiva 2.0 (LDVA 2.0) management system, which uses inertial sensors to control the car's aero in 500 milliseconds.
The Aventador SVJ "63 Edition", a special edition commemorating the company's year of foundation (1963), featuring a special while livery but there will be no colors to choose from as it will be painted matt black and white with bronze inserts with the number 63 more prominent on the car as it would be first offered for sale, limited to just 63 units while the whole production run of the Aventador SVJ would be limited to just 900 unitspé in total with deliveries starting in the beginning of 2019.[43]

SVJ Roadster
Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae (2021)
The last variant of the Aventador was announced at the premiere on Lamborghini's social channels in July 2021. It is limited to 600 units (350 for the Coupé, 250 for the Roadster). It has all the standard features of the Aventador S and SVJ. It produces a maximum output of 780 PS (574 kW; 769 hp) and the same 720 N⋅m (531 lb⋅ft) of torque as the Aventador SVJ. Lamborghini claims that it can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 2.84 seconds.[44] The top speed is claimed to be 356 km/h (221 mph). The Coupé has a claimed kerb weight of 1,550 kg (3,417 lb).
After production had ended, 15 Ultimaes were destroyed when a car carrier cargo ship, the Felicity Ace, caught fire and sank approximately 200 miles from Terceira Island in the Azores. Lamborghini was forced to restart production to replace those lost 15 vehicles. The very last Ultimae, and thus the very last Aventador, to be produced was customized as an homage to a one-of-a-kind Lamborghini Miura P400 (not to be confused with the 2016 homages to the Miura), painted in a unique Azzuro Flake color.
