Lamborghini just made the Aventador faster. The Italian carmaker has just launched the 2017 Aventador S. Successor to the Aventador LP700-4 it comes with additional 40bhp, a four-wheel steering system and a new Ego driving mode.
This means that Lamborghini has done some fine adjustments to make the Aventador’s 6.5-liter V12 to produce 730bhp and 509 lb-ft of torque. According to the company, the new S model can go from 0-100kmph in just 2.9 seconds. The top speed of the raging bull is 217 mph which is approximately 350kmph. Lamborghini has adjusted the engine’s variable valve timing and intake system, while raising maximum engine revs from 8350rpm to 8500rpm to achieve those numbers.
“This is the next generation Aventador as well as the expression of new technological and performance milestones in super sports car development. The Aventador S is visionary design, cutting-edge technology and driving dynamics in pure harmony, and elevates the concept of super sports cars to a new level,” said Stefano Domenicali, Lamborghini chairman and CEO, in a statement.
As mentioned above it comes wih a four-wheel drive system using Lamborghini’s Independent Shifting Rod seven-speed gearbox, along with a new exhaust system that’s 20 percent lighter than before.
It still gets three driving modes – Strada (Street), Sport and Corsa (race) but now you also get a new Ego setting. This mode allows drivers to individually tweak the car’s drivetrain and suspension settings. Lamborghini has also thrown in a new TFT touchscreen with Apple Carplay as standard.
As for the price, the new Aventador S retails at $4,21,350 (Rs 2.8 crores).
