How do you keep interest up with exotic supercars of the likes of the Lamborghini Aventador and Gallardo if they remain in production for several years? Well, in order to convince wealthy consumers to take another look at is existing models, Lamborghini’s solution is a mix of facelifts and a constant flow of different and/or special editions.
The SV moniker, which stands for “Super Veloce”, is one such example and has been used in the past on the classic Miura, the Diablo and more recently, on the Aventador’s predecessor, the Murcielago. In all cases, the SV variants were tuned and more track-orientated versions of the standard cars they are based on.
That said, it’s not a question of if, but when Lamborghini will release an Aventador LP (insert horsepower figure here) SV edition. Our scoop photographers think that the yellow Aventador they nabbed testing on the ‘Ring, may very well be an early prototype for this model.
Some telltale features that point to the car being an SV prototype include the , center locking wheels shod on wide and very low profile, high-performance tires, the different mounting of the front brake calipers and the new front lip spoiler.
Unless a Lamborghini official decides to spill the beans, we’ll have to wait for more prototypes to gain additional info on the car. Until then, head past the break to check out the spy pictures.
