Lamborghini has announced at the Shanghai Auto Show that the most extreme Aventador model, the LP 750-4 SV, will be built in a limited series of 600 units.
Before you think the number is too low, here’s a bit of context. By Lamborghini standards, a production run of 600 units is not at all small. Last year, the VW Group-owned sports car manufacturer sold a combined 2,530 units worldwide – and 2014 was its best-ever year.
1,128 of them were Aventador Coupés and Roadsters, which means the production run of the Aventador LP 750-4 SV roughly equates to half of the yearly output for the entire Aventador lineup.
That’s not so bad, even if the 600-unit limit applies to the combined years the Aventador LP 750-4 SV will stay in production. Let’s not forget we’re talking about a very expensive car here, even by Lamborghini standards.
The Super Veloce starts from €327,190 before taxes in Europe, while US customers will have to spend $485,900 before tax and destination charges ($493,095 all-in) to get the absurdly-fast Aventador SV.
The supercar is powered by a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine producing 750PS (740hp) at 8,400rpm and 690Nm (508lb ft) of torque at 5,500rpm. Factor in the 50 kg (110 lbs) weight deficit compared to the standard Aventador and the result is a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint of 2.8 seconds and a top speed of more than 350 km/h (217 mph).
