The Aventador is a bit tame, said no one ever, yet the SuperVeloce is that much more brutal.
It’s not that much about performance, for 700 PS is already pretty mega and cutting a tenth of a second from the 0-100 km/h sprint is, practically, unnoticeable and just looks good on the specs sheet.
No, what makes Lamborghini’s fastest production car to date so unique is the meticulous work that has unleashed an even more feral beast that was hiding within the Aventador.
Doing away with niceties like carpets and most of the sound insulation to shed 110 pounds and upping the power to 750 PS should probably do the trick nicely. Lambo’s engineers however went the extra mile, making that 6.5-liter V12 sing all the way to 8,400 rpm, changing the steering, stiffening the adaptive suspension and, of course, putting that fixed rear wing at the back.
Priced a bit over half a million bucks might seem quite steep, but a. all 500 units that will ever be manufactured all already spoken for, and b. compared to the only other car that has, so far, dipped under the 8-minute mark at the Nürburgring, the Porsche 918 Spyder, it’s as close to a bargain as it gets.
How’s it on the road? As you probably already think – and then some. Which is exactly one expects from the ultimate Raging Bull.
