The Aventador is Lamborghini's now previous flagship mid-engine V12 supercar. It made its debut in 2011 as the replacement to the Murcielago in Lamborghini's lineup. Its V12 is a 6.5-liter producing 690 horsepower and 509 lb-ft of torque, sending power to all four wheels via a seven-speed automated manual transmission. The base Aventador launches from zero to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and can reach a top speed of 217 mph.
The roadster version was added to the Aventador portfolio in late 2012 and adds two removable carbon-fiber roof panels and a unique engine cover over its fixed-roof counterpart. Its cockpit was designed for comfort and speed in mind, almost like that of a spaceship. The Aventador contains Lamborghini's signature butterfly doors, and its naturally-aspirated V12 has one of the most glorious, ear-piercing exhaust notes of any car.
The base Aventador was replaced by the updated and enhanced Aventador S in 2016. Other crazier, more powerful versions of the Aventador were added as well, including the SV, SVJ, and Ultimae. Production of the entire Aventador range ended last year, and the Aventador's replacement, the Revuelto, was unveiled not that long ago, now sporting a V12 with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The Aventador LP700-4 coupe and roadster are currently valued in the upper $200,000s on the low end and the upper $400,000s on the high end.
The three examples featured in this post were on display at the three most recent car shows I attended: the red roadster in early April, and the gray coupe and yellow roadster earlier this month, all at separate shows. These Aventadors were also by far the coolest and my personal favorite cars that showed up at the three most recent car shows I attended. In all, the Aventador is one of the coolest and greatest Lamborghinis ever made. It is also one of my all-time favorite cars that I often dreamed about as a teenager. The Aventador has an undeniably striking presence, and seeing one up close in any context always feels special and never gets old.
