The Lamborghini Aventador SVJ (Superveloce Jota) has officially gone on sale in
India. The limited-run model, of which only 900 units will be ever made, has a
base price of INR 8.5 crore (ex-showroom), which makes it significantly pricier
than the Aventador S that was launched in May 2017. The launch of the new model
will be followed by the introduction of the Huracan Evo on February 7.
Powering the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ is an updated
version of the 6.5-litre V12 naturally-aspirated engine. It outputs a maximum
power of 770 hp and a peak torque of 720 Nm, which makes the new model 10 per
cent more potent than the standard Aventador. Furthermore, the SVJ version
features a reworked 7-speed automated manual transmission that drives all
wheels. As per the company, the limited variant of its flagship supercar can
sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and go on to hit a top speed of more
than 350 km/h.
The Lamborghini Aventador SVJ offers four-wheel
steering and the company's second generation of active aerodynamics system
(Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva). As compared to the first-gen system, ALA 2.0
offers redesigned air inlets and aero channel designs. The reworked package is
claimed to have helped the exotic in lapping the Nürburgring circuit in 6
minutes, 44.97 seconds, which is the quickest time for any production car.
As per the Sant'Agata Bolognese-based carmaker, the
Lamborghini Aventador SVJ offers 40 per cent additional downforce than the
Aventador SV. The improvement is courtesy of larger air intakes, a larger rear
wing, updated underbody with vortex generators, new diffusers, and aerodynamic
bodywork at the front.
The Aventador SVJ rides on aluminium Nireo wheels
that are shod in Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires developed exclusively for the new
model. Another highlight is the revised exhaust system that minimises back
pressure and offers a 'more emotive' sound.
