Lamborghini Aventador SV

The Lamborghini Aventador SuperVeloce is one of the fastest, most insane Raging Bulls ever produced. It was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in March, and I was lucky enough to spot one this early (the Aventador SV has been on sale for only a few months now). Under the hood of this beast is a 6.5-liter V12 with 740 horsepower and 509 pound-feet of torque at 8400 RPM. It can reach 60 mph from a standstill in a blistering 2.8 seconds, onto a top speed of 220 mph. Power is transferred to all four wheels via a seven-speed manual. Compared to the standard Aventador, the SV has a higher redline, weighs 110 pounds less, more exposed carbon fiber elements, such as its chassis, body panels, rear wing, wheels, and racing seats, and features lateral strut-type magnetic shocks, which Lamborghini claims are a first for a production vehicle. The Aventador SV has reportedly lapped the famed Nurburgring Nordschleife in under seven minutes. It offers three driving modes, listed from most tame to most aggressive: Strada, Sport, and Corsa. Strada is geared more toward  streets and highways; Sport is recommended for driving on windy mountain roads; Corsa is intended mainly for track use. Only 600 units will be made, each starting is at $493,095, but climbs quickly once you add on a variety of options. Also, Lamborghini unveiled a roadster variant of the Aventador SV at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in August. The SV roadster is almost identical to its fixed roof counterpart, except the former is 100 pounds heavier, $50k more expensive, and a tenth of a second slower to 60 mph. I absolutely love the Lamborghini Aventador SV, and feel that it is one of the best cars in existence. It looks and sounds menacing, and goes extremely swiftly.
