The Geneva Motor Present 2011 marked the official begin of the Aventador life cycle. The Aventador LP 700-4 because it was formally designated changed the Murcielago. The Filippo Perini designed Aventador impressed the gang in Geneva with aggressive styling and an output of 700 hp from the naturally aspirated 6.5 litre V12 engine.
However specs and design had been solely minor particulars of what would outline the Aventador as a real Lamborghini. This grew to become obvious throughout my first check drive with the Aventador in Italy later that yr. The aggressive gear modifications and F1 fashion soundtrack is one thing I recall vividly to at the present time. The Aventador mixed leading edge expertise with a rawness that equipped a driving expertise not many vehicles provided within the final decade. It was one of many first vehicles with a totally digital driver show, one thing thought of customary right now.
The unique Aventador was in manufacturing from 2011 till 2016 and beat all expectations. In 2013 the Aventador Roadster joined the line-up.

It was designed to offer the last word driving expertise for fans who wished a robust and loud automobile. In 2016 the Roadster variant of the SV was launched and all 500 models had been bought very quickly.
In Could 2016 I discovered myself in a Lamborghini Aventador SV as a not so traditionally right help automobile on the Mille Miglia. The best way the Italian public responded to the automobile is one thing I’ll keep in mind endlessly. On the third day of the Mille Miglia that yr; late at evening someplace on the outskirts of Parma it was the primary time I heard the automobile from the surface. And wow was that factor loud! The entire journey from Brescia to Brescia by way of Rome is one thing I cannot overlook any time quickly.
The Aventador S
On the 2017 Geneva Motor Present Lamborghini introduced the facelifted model of the Aventador dubbed the Aventador S. By then the Aventador was already an amazing success. Initially Lamborghini deliberate to provide 4,000 Aventadors however by mid-2016 the 5,000th Aventador left the manufacturing line.
The Aventador S not solely got here with a number of design and efficiency updates but in addition marked the period of latest head of design Mitja Bortkert at Lamborghini.
The Aventador S LP 740-4 now provided 740 PS and 690Nm of torque from the 6.5 liter V12. 4 wheel steering, an up to date suspension and new (particular person) drive modes improved the dealing with of the Lambo supercar. The redesigned nostril and improved diffuser elevated the downforce by 130 % over the unique. On the draw back the soundtrack was downtuned and the Aventador S was not fairly as uncooked as the unique.

What was your favorite Aventador or Aventador-based mannequin? Depart a remark under!
The Aventador Ultimae Roadster
September 2022 marked the top of the Lamborghini Aventador period with the manufacturing of the final Ultimae Roadster. To offer the Aventador a correct send-off into automotive historical past we deliberate a small street journey with the final mannequin to replicate on one of the crucial iconic supercars in current historical past. I all the time praised the Lamborghini Aventador for its rawness and typical Lamborghini DNA. When the Gallardo was changed by the Huracan I very quickly missed the whole lot I hated within the Gallardo. And though the Huracan is a good automobile, it lacks a little bit of Lamborghini DNA.
Fortunately I realised the Aventador Ultimae was nonetheless very a lot a real Lamborghini. Climbing behind the wheel I remembered the Aventador is definitely not a automobile for folks my dimension (1,90m / 6”2) however the sense of claustrophobia shortly disappeared after firing up the mighty V12. What a pleasure to wake the chilly beast.
First cease: Sant Agata city centre. Surprisingly lots of the locals came to visit and inspected the automobile as our photographer Philipp Rupprecht was taking some snaps. You’d count on the locals to get bored from seeing Lamborghinis with the manufacturing facility on their doorstep, however the reverse was true and the looks of the intense blue Ultimae convertible brightened their Tuesday morning.
On the best way to lunch we had an opportunity to open the V12 up a bit of bit. And our automobile being a roadster it has the largest perk over the coupe; a small window above the engine bay which you can open and shut on the tip of a button. With the roof up it permits for the engine and exhaust tunes to fill the cabin with the tunes of the most effective orchestra for petrol heads. With the roof dismounted it capabilities as a wind deflector.
Speaking concerning the roof, the 2 panels might be saved at a delegated area within the entrance bonnet however that clearly considerably reduces the area for baggage within the entrance compartment. However fortunately we had a baggage automobile on this journey so it was not an issue for us.
What’s a little bit of an issue is the mismatch between the slender and bumpy Italian roads and the traits of the Aventador. I keep in mind this being one of many conclusions of our first Aventador assessment in 2011. Though the four-wheel steering improved the dealing with considerably the Italian roads didn’t enhance a lot. On the few straight and empty roads we encountered the Aventador was like a fish within the water. Speeding by the gears whereas spitting flames out of the exhaust because the blood pumped by our veins. That is what this automobile is made for.
Total the soundtrack of the Ultimae Roadster isn’t fairly as loud and aggressive because it was once on the unique Aventador and Aventador SV. It’s not quiet however the earlier fashions undoubtedly spoiled us. The rationale behind this average tone are EU rules for noise air pollution. Particularly at decrease speeds the most recent Aventadors sound quieter than their earlier iterations.
The Ultimae Roadster could be the final Aventador however for me it isn’t the last word. If I needed to choose one mannequin from the line-up it will be the Aventador SV. In fact I’m biassed by my private expertise with this automobile. However the mixture of aggressive styling, (nonetheless) breathtaking efficiency and the sound of outdated F1 vehicles makes it the Aventador to have for me.
The Future?
The Aventador successor is coming within the subsequent few months. And though we must anticipate the precise launch of the brand new mannequin, a number of issues have already been introduced: the Aventador successor will hold a V12 however with a hybrid electrical powertrain to enhance emissions and gas effectivity. Mitja Borkert remains to be chargeable for the design and judging by his newest designs we’re sure the successor of the Aventador will stay a real Lamborghini by way of design.
