The Aventador has been around for a few years, replacing Lamborghini’s previous flagship, the Murcielago. Barring a few limited-edition specials, the Aventador is the ultimate expression of a modern Lamborghini and carries all the design swagger that a car with the famous bull badge on its nose ought to, complete with attention-grabbing ‘scissor’ door, It also has the mechanical muscle to justify its extrovert styling. There’s a four-wheel-drive system, a chassis built from lightweight, high-strength carbon-fibre and a mighty 6.5-litre V12 engine. For 2017, Lamborghini has given the Aventador an update so substantial that an extra letter was added to its name – the Aventador S is now the name of the entry-level model and it’s not a bad way to kick off the range, Updates include the addition of four-wheel steering, enhanced electronics and suspension and even more muscular looks. There’s even been a small power increase to 730bhp – although it’s not as if power is in short supply in any Lamborghini. The Aventador S can dispatch 0-130 kmph in just 2.9 seconds and if you find yourself on a racetrack, you don’t have to stop accelerating until you reach 349kmph.
