Lamborghini Aventador SVJ (2018-21)

 


The SVJ (SuperVeloce Jota) is one of the coolest, craziest, and best-performing versions of the now previous flagship V12 Lamborghini Aventador. It was added to the Aventador range in 2018 to unseat the SV as the top-of-the-line Aventador until the final-edition Ultimae completed the Aventador portfolio in 2022. Powering the Aventador SVJ is a 6.5-liter V12 with 759 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque, distributing power to all four wheels through a 7-speed automated manual gearbox. It launches from zero to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds and is capable of a top speed of around 220 mph. The SVJ stands out from other Aventador models by its distinctive and more aggressive styling cues, such as its large carbon-fiber rear wing and center fin, disconnected front splitter, unique air vents on the bonnet, and a large rear diffuser. It also features an extensive use of carbon fiber throughout the entire vehicle, a lightweight titanium exhaust system, and a 40% increase in downforce over the Aventador SV.



A total of 900 fixed-roof Aventador SVJs were ever produced over a span of four years, along with 800 Aventador SVJ roadsters. Market values for the Aventador SVJ have soared past $600,000, with some examples reaching close to $1 million. I have seen a handful of SVJs in person so far, and the example featured here is the latest of those handful, which was on display at a car show I attended late last month. This particular show took place at a community not that far from me, but it felt like it was at an exotic location in a different part of the world. This green SVJ and another rare performance-focused Lamborghini Aventador were easily the coolest vehicles at that car show and in a tier above all other cars seen that day, the latter of which I will feature more of in my next post. In all, the Aventador SVJ is one of the coolest and most impressive Lamborghinis and supercars of all time.
