Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Bows at Pebble Beach
Brand-new Aventador SVJ has Lamborghini’s most powerful naturally aspirated V12 ever dropped in the back.
There’s a new Lamborghini in town. It’s green, it’s mean, and it even its own time around the ‘Ring. Appearing alongside Audi’s PB18 e-tron at an Audi/Lamborghini event at Pebble Beach during Monterey Car Week, it’s the Aventador SVJ.
According to The Daily Mail, the Aventador SVJ (short for Superveloce Jota) contains the most powerful naturally aspirated V12 ever placed into the backside of a Lamborghini: a 6.5-liter V12 pushing 770 horses and 531 lb-ft of torque through all corners.
The Aventador SVJ’s immense power is enough to drop-kick you from zero to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds, and from zero to 124 mph in 8.6 seconds. It’s top speed is also astounding at 218 mph, as its own personal best of 6:44.97 on the Nurburgring. That time, which makes the SVJ the fastest production car around the Green Hell, was likely helped by not only the V12, but also the SVJ’s aggressive active aero and four-wheel steering system.
The inside of the Aventador SVJ is pretty nice, too. There’s the lovely Alcantara buckets nestled against the carbon fiber and Alcantara transmission tunnel, carbon fiber door panels, even an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel. It’s also got plenty of switches to flip, a TFT digital dashboard to keep you informed on the goings-on, free optional Apple CarPlay infotainment system to play your favorite jams while guiding you around Monterey, and an optional telemetry system to document your performances around your favorite track.
The Aventador SVJ will be a rarity when it becomes available for sale in 2019, as only 900 will be made. A special version of the SVJ, the SVJ63 (so named in honor of Lamborghini’s founding in 1963), is a white and black variant limited to only 63 units. The SVJ will leave you with more green on the car than in your wallet: $517,770 suggested retail.
