The Lamborghini Aventador is coming towards the end of its lifecycle but it is still a joy to see it tested to its limits, particularly in SV Roadster guise like the example featured in this video.
The Aventador SV is powered by a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 that delivers 750 hp and 507 lb-ft (690 Nm) of torque and is coupled to the Aventador’s 7-speed ISR transmission and all-wheel drive system, enabling a 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) sprint in as little as 2.9 seconds.

For many years, the Aventador SV has been one of the quickest production cars on the planet and eager to see just how it fares against some rather unusual competition, CarWow pitted it against a trio of race cars used in the British Rallycross championship.
In the first race, the Aventador SV and a bright yellow Peugeot 306 get jump off the line extraordinarily well while a Rallycross buggy and a Citroen DS3 struggled. In the second race, the DS3 driver nailed the launch and was able to beat both the Peugeot and the Lamborghini. A rolling race is then held between the quartet and unsurprisingly, the Peugeot and the Citroen initially had the advantage and the Aventador was only able to overtake when the others hit their top speed limiters.
