LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR LP 750-4 SUPERVELOCE
2015-03-03The Aventador LP750-4 SV features an overhauled chassis, a high-revving naturally aspirated V12 engine and extensive use of carbonfibre to reduce the weight by 50kg over the standard 1575kg Aventador LP700-4 coupé on which it is based.
The heart of the Aventador SV is a mighty 6.5-litre V12, which now produces 740bhp at 8400rpm, a sizeable increase from the 691bhp the engine produces in the standard Aventador. The increases are down to optimised variable valve timing and variable intake systems. Torque remains the same (507lb ft at 5500rpm), but the engine now revs all the way to 8500rpm.
This increase in power, together with the lighter weight and an improved aerodynamics package, results in a 0-62mph that’s cut from 2.9sec to 2.8sec from the standard Aventador, and a top speed of “more than 217mph”. The power-to-weight ratio is rated at 485bhp per tonne.
