The Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 is currently a familiar car in supercar circles—but It‘s, and can remain, a hyper-exotic design icon for leagues of fans including the young and also the young at heart.
The Aventador is Lamborghini’s prime production model, and therefore is its most high-powered standard offering, whether in coupe or roadster form. It’s also the foremost head-turning Lamborghini open to most folks—a handful of much more exotic, small-batch cars happen to be built, however the Aventador’s edgy style remains a crowd-pleaser.
Within the cabin it’s a lot of a similar : futuristic, edgy, and jet-inspired. The space doesn’t feel much as a typical street car in the least ; it feels like a Tie Fighter.

A wailing 6. 5-liter V-12 engine rates 691 horsepower, uncorking its ferocity directly behind the 2 seats inside the snug, low-slung cabin. A exclusive 50th anniversary edition to the 2013 model year got LP 720-4 50° Anniversario badges and also a bump in power to 710 hp, must the conventional model’s 691 hp prove inadequate. The results of all of this power, driving all four wheels with an ISR (Independent Shifting Rod ) automated manual transmission, is 0-60 mph acceleration in under 3. 0 seconds, and also a top speed claimed at 217 mph.
The Aventador, despite its largely carbon fiber construction and low-slung stance, is really a fairly heavy car—weighing in more than 3, 700 lbs. The result‘s a car that feels lightning quick in an aligned line, but lags inside the corners. Its immense width also can result in the Aventador feel somewhat cumbersome all-around town, when parking, or navigating narrower lanes and streets, though a self-raising nose feature does help improve clearance more than velocity bumps and driveways. The ride quality from the Aventador, whether in coupe or roadster forms, is rather stiff, although not constantly objectionably so—unless you switch the adjustable driving mode from Strada (Street ) or Sport to Corsa (Track ).

The only real issue with the Aventador’s manners in Strada mode is that the awkward engagement from the gears from the ISR transmission—it’s slow to interact, ensuing inside a herky-jerky take-off given by a stop. Swap to Corsa mode and also the shifts come to be lightning fast—and hit-by-a-bus brutal. The happy medium lives in Sport mode, in which the shifts are quick sufficient to become comfortable, although not so violent.
Within the cabin itself, the Aventador isn’t especially spacious, despite its width. The low-slung nature and scissor doors mean you need to half-slide, half-fall straight into the seats. Once there, the seats are snug, and leg room is enough, although not ample, especially for six-footers. Fitting a weekend’s worth of luggage inside the front trunk area is feasible, but it’s tight.
Gas mileage, as you may expect, isn’t phenomenal—but then this can be a $400, 000 supercar, therefore you shouldn’t really be pinching pennies in the pump. At 11 mpg city, 17 mpg highway, and 13 mpg combined to the coupe (or 10 / 16 / 12 mpg city / highway / combined to the roadster ), the Aventador is rather un-green even by supercar standards, however.
Like all good supercar, and any modern Lamborghini, the Aventador is almost endlessly personalizable, because of the company’s Ad Personam program. Every shade and hue under sunlight, nearly any material of upholstery, and a lot of the features or technologies you can want could be yours—for a price. But you’re purchasing a headline-making, neck-snapping supercar, so why skimp? Create your dream.
