Automobili Lamborghini launches the Aventador S in India

There are supercars, and then there are supercars. The Aventador S that was launched in Mumbai by Automobili Lamborghini starting at Rs 5.01 crore, ex-showroom in Mumbai, is the kind of supercar that will have you stop dead in your tracks. Although clearly an Aventador, this S designated machine features a number of updates, especially up front and at the rear that enhances its aerodynamic efficiency.

With an output of 738bhp, the Lamborghini Aventador S is as powerful as some Formula One cars of the yesteryears. It’s naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 is capable of pushing the car from standstill to 100kmph in a mere 2.9 seconds, and on to a top speed of 350kmph. The motor produces 690Nm of peak torque and is mated to a seven-speed single clutch transmission. To achieve the extra 38bhp over the Aventador, Lamborghini engineers have employed both variable valve timing as well as variable intake system. Max revs have also been increased from 8350rpm to 8500rpm. Meanwhile weight saving ventures like the all carbon tub, a 20 per cent lighter exhaust system and more means that the Aventador S tips the scales at 1,575kg.

Among new additions to the equipment list is a four wheel steering system that should make it easier to drive. Also new is the electronics package with four customisable driving modes.
