The Lamborghini Aventador Superveloce has no carpet, sound deadening, USB ports, Bluetooth phone pairing, cruise control, nor any warn\u00ading labels. And sometimes\u2014like whenever its cooling fans operate\u2014it produces mechanical noises no car this costly should make. It approaches its mission with the same subtlety Donald Trump employs when talking immigration.<\/p>\n
\nA brazen exotic made for those who enjoy center stage and have the resources to ensure they remain there.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nUnsurprisingly, it\u2019s strikingly rapid. It will kiss 60 mph from a standstill in 2.7 seconds, storm the quarter-mile in 10.5 seconds at 136 mph, and stop from 70 mph in 147 feet. It generates 1.04 g\u2019s around the skidpad and never acts as if it\u2019s working to perform any of these feats. It didn\u2019t once hint that it wanted to kill us, either.<\/p>\n
For the Superveloce, the big change to the \u00adAventador\u2019s 6.5-liter V-12 is a freer-flowing exhaust. In combination with fresh calibrations for its variable valve timing and variable intake system, output climbs to 740 horsepower, up from the base car\u2019s 691. Peak power is achieved 100 rpm below redline at a shrill 8400 revs. Torque remains 509 pound-feet at 5500 rpm.<\/p>\n
On the scale of grand driving tools, the Aventador ranks high. It is stupid fast, has world-class brakes, and makes fantastic grip. Its somewhat-elusive limits, however, keep it from rivaling the world\u2019s most rewarding driver\u2019s cars. Still, the Super\u00adveloce is special. It is a car unencumbered by ubiquity, order, or anything resembling normalcy. It is, in other words, a Lambo.<\/p>\n
