Your Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4r is currently a familiar car in supercar circles—but it can be, and will remain, a hyper-exotic design icon for leagues of fans such as the young and the young in your mind.

The Aventador LP700-4r is Lamborghini’s top production model, and as like is its most high-powered regular offering, whether in coupe or even roadster form. It’s also probably the most head-turning Lamborghini available to most folks—a few even more exotic, small-batch cars happen to be built, but the Aventador’s edgy type remains a crowd-pleaser.

Inside the cabin it’s quite similar: futuristic, edgy, and jet-inspired. The place doesn’t feel much like a standard street car at all; it feels a lot more like a Tie Fighter.

A wailing 6. 5-liter V-12 serps rates 691 horsepower, uncorking its ferocity directly behind the two seats in the particular snug, low-slung cabin. A special 50th anniversary edition for the 2013 model year got LP 720-4 50° Anniversario badges and also a bump in power to 710 hewlett packard, should the standard model’s 691 hewlett packard prove inadequate. The result off this power, driving all four wheels through an ISR (Independent Shifting Rod) robotic manual transmission, is 0-60 mph acceleration within 3. 0 seconds, and a top-notch speed claimed at 217 mph.

Your Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4r, despite its largely carbon dioxide fiber construction and low-slung posture, is a fairly heavy car—weighing in excess of 3, 700 lbs. The result is a car that feels lightning quick within a straight line, but lags inside corners. Its immense width may also make the Lamborghini Aventador feel to some degree cumbersome around town, when vehicle, or navigating narrower lanes along with streets, though a self-raising nose feature does help improve clearance over speed lumps and driveways. The ride quality of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4r, whether in coupe or even roadster forms, is rather rigid, but not always objectionably so—unless people switch the adjustable driving setting from Strada (Street) or Game to Corsa (Track).

2015 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4r Review and Release Date - The only problem while using Aventador’s manners in Strada mode is the awkward engagement of the gears by the ISR transmission—it’s slow to take part, resulting in a herky-jerky take-off coming from a stop. Swap to Corsa mode and also the shifts become lightning fast—and hit-by-a-bus brutal. The happy medium lives throughout Sport mode, where the shifts are quick enough being comfortable, but not so thrashing.

Inside the cabin itself, the particular Aventador LP700-4r isn’t especially spacious, in spite of its width. The low-slung nature and scissor doors mean you must half-slide, half-fall into the car seats. Once there, the seats usually are snug, and leg room will do, but not ample, especially pertaining to six-footers. Fitting a weekend’s worth of luggage inside front trunk area is feasible, but it’s tight.

Gas mileage, as you might expect, isn’t phenomenal—but then this can be a $400, 000 supercar, so you shouldn’t really be pinching pennies in the pump. At 11 mpg area, 17 mpg highway, and 13 mpg combined for the coupe (or 10/16/12 mpg city/highway/combined for the roadster), the Aventador is quite un-green even by supercar standards.

Like any good supercar, along with any modern Lamborghini, the Aventador is virtually endlessly personalizable, thanks to the particular company’s Ad Personam program. Every shade and hue within the sun, nearly any material involving upholstery, and most of the features or technologies you might want can be yours—for an expense. But you’re buying a headline-making, neck-snapping supercar, so just why skimp? Build your dream.
