Can You Believe Lamborghini Has Built 10,000 Aventador Supercars?

Lamborghini has celebrated an important production milestone, with the 10,000th Aventador assembled in Sant’Agata Bolognese.

The milestone model is an SVJ Roadster, finished in Grigio Acheso (grey) over a Rosso Mimir (red) interior, and will be heading to Thailand.

Packing a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12, which is good for 759 HP (770 PS / 566 kW) and 531 lb-ft (720 Nm) of torque in this version of the flagship supercar, the Aventador SVJ Roadster comes with a seven-speed gearbox and all-wheel drive. It does the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 2.9 seconds and can max out at over 217 mph (350 km/h).

Nine years of production

The Aventador’s story began in 2011, when the 690 HP (700 PS / 515 kW) LP700-4 Coupe entered production. The fixed-roof model was followed by the Roadster version in November of 2012, which came with two carbon fiber removable sections, each one weighing less than 13 lbs (6 kg), and redesigned rear pillars to provide the proper support to the detachable roof.

Earlier that year, the stunning Aventador J was shown to the world in Geneva. The one-off speedster had 690 HP (700 PS / 515 kW) available on tap and a maximum speed of more than 186 mph (300 km/h).

The saga continued with the Aventador S in 2016, with aerodynamic enhancements, redesigned suspension and more power produced by the V12 – 730 HP (740 PS / 544 kW).

Two years ago, the Aventador SVJ broke cover with more upgrades and set a lap record for production cars on the Nurburgring Nordschleife, after lapping the 16.5–mile (26.6-km) long course in 6 minutes and 44.97 seconds. The Super Veloce Jota (SVJ) was limited to 900 units, while production of the SVJ 63, which paid homage to the company’s founding in 1963, was limited to 63 units for the Coupe and 63 for the Roadster.

The Aventador was also turned into an art car last year, with the project being dubbed the Aventador S by Skyler Grey.
