Lamborghini has
released the first official teaser image of the hardcore Aventador SVJ prior to
the car’s world premiere at Pebble Beach on August 23.
The image offers a
bird’s eye view of the Lamborghini badge and two air vents featured on the
hood. These vents form part of the Aventador SVJ’s Lamborghini Active
Aerodynamics technology and are surrounded by sharp lines and aggressive
creases not visible on the camouflaged prototypes. Making things look even more
insane is the bright green paint scheme tipped to be the vehicle’s launch
color.
As with all other
Aventador variants, the SVJ will be outfitted with a naturally-aspirated
6.5-liter V12 engine. However, Lamborghini’s engineers will work their magic
and lift power to 760 hp at 8500 rpm. The SVJ will continue to use the brand’s
ISR single-clutch transmission and send power to all four wheels.
Initial reviews of
the SVJ have been very positive with journalists saying that it turns in better
than any Lamborghini before it, thanks largely to the high levels of downforce
at the front end. This improved balance inevitably played a key role in the car
setting a production car lap record around the Nurburgring.
