Lamborghini Aventador LP750-4 Superveloce: The Enraged Bull

by Frédérick Boucher-Gaulin

On the floor of the Geneva Motor Show, Italian manufacturer Lamborghini just launched the next iteration of the Aventador, the Superveloce. Just like all versions of this nameplate, the latest SV promises even more performance: more power, less weight and styling that befits this newest enraged bull.

First of all, let's talk about that power: compared to the ''regular'' version, the car has gained 50 horses, for a total of 750. This power gain is helped by a 50 kg weight reduction, which was accomplished thanks to the massive use of carbon fibre.

One of the most remarkable aspect of the Aventador SV is probably its outlandish styling: with its huge rear wing, new bumpers and more aerodynamic lips, this new Superveloce is supposedly 150% more aerodynamic than the standard car. Even better, those new aero bits help the car make 170% more downforce than it used to.

We can suppose that the Lamborghini Aventador LP750-4 Superveloce will be sold for a few thousand more than the base-model Aventador. In Europe, the SV starts at $455,000 and we have a strong feeling that its price will be similar here. Expect to see the car on the world's most glamourous streets next spring.
