2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

The Murciélago successor arrived with an all-new 6.5-liter V12 producing 691 horsepower in a carbon fiber monocoque chassis. The Aventador represented Lamborghini's most significant technical advancement, combining exotic materials technology with the traditional naturally aspirated V12 formula. The single-clutch ISR transmission provided lightning shifts at the cost of low-speed refinement.

ISR single-clutch transmission jerky at low speeds - normal but jarring. Front suspension bushings can wear. Infotainment system dated. Exhaust components prone to rattling. Air conditioning performance marginal. Carbon ceramic brakes expensive to replace. Generally reliable but expensive servicing. Later S models improved significantly in refinement.

Lifting system essential, carbon ceramic brakes, transparent engine cover, carbon fiber packages (interior and exterior), Sensonum audio system, Ad Personam customization, lightweight performance exhaust, track telemetry system.
