[Topspeed]

Under the skin, Lamborghini has fettled with the naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine so it now delivers 770 hp and 531 lb-ft (720 Nm) of torque. Consequently, the SVJ can rocket to 62 mph (100 km/h) in a blistering 2.8 seconds, 124 mph (200 km/h) in 8.6 seconds and continue through to a 216 mph (350 km/h) top speed.

Like the Aventador S, the SVJ employs Lamborghini’s rear-wheel steering system to improve manoeuvrability at low speeds and stability during high-speed cornering. Power is sent to the ground via the marque’s ISR seven-speed transmission and bespoke Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires.

Lamborghini has outfitted the car with the second iteration of Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA). This advanced active aerodynamic system premiered on the Huracan Performante and has been further refined to help increase the car’s downforce by 40 per cent while also reducing drag by one percent.

0-100 in 2.8 for a 4wd car. 918 was at 2.3, and mclarens and ferraris with RWD can match that time.
and i think the 720 0-200 is 7.1 or something. strange actually. still will be an awesome sounding NA V12 car

The 720S can run that on the street... This car will get eaten alive in acceleration out of traction zones. The Senna is almost 2 seconds faster to 124 mph... That's one of the highest aspect ratio wings I've seen on car. Very high efficiency, low downforce

Eh, the last thing the Aventador needed were more slats, inlets/outlets, and aero vanes. Car looks way too busy.

The Aventdator's successor will be called the Morventsador.

And here we were, thinking that nothing could make the Senna look good.

Tried squinting, drinking and/or closing your eyes?

Love the Senna and the JOTA LE 63 carbon series.

Also saw the gorgeous 600LT hood scoop in Monterey it's almost sold out an hasn't released any times.

Pictures don't do these cars justice - streets were filled with Eggs and Pagani's Chirons they all sounded excellent running around one cooler than the other Enzo's F40's F50' the best sound was the newest Egg then the Lusso and 812 followed by the titanium exhaust JOTA - msrp 513k it's a beast and holds it's own to anything all weekend.

For those that worry about what it will or will not do - you sound like a jelly fish

 

[TougeSpirit]

0-200 kph should also be well into the 7s. Not just any 770 hp AWD car but a mid engine one. Very disappointing acceleration

 

[Champagne612]

how does a jelly fish sound like?
but on a serious note, shouldnt a 760bhp AWD car have better 0-60 acceleration than the official numbers from Lamborghini seem to imply. 2.8 seem to be the limit on current tyres and RWD, but 4wd drive cars should be closer to the heavy 918 no?

918 energizer bunny lots of torque many cars with low times are turbo and or electric but for the Performante expect a faster Performante in short order.

SV is a big heavy car - at the end of the ring run the tires were acting as if they were on wet grass.

The 918 has electro-support, a big amount of torque "from zero", hard to compensate with a pure NA/combustion engine drive. In this regard the SVJ acceleration figures are impressive.

True as it was never designed to fight against the feather weights turbos or electrics. The Performante is their car for competition.

 

[Champagne612]

see i disagree, on a launch control or rolling start in say the 812 (big heavy car), the acceleration is clearly traction limited. an AWD car should by definition have a lot more grip being driven in a straight line. and 0-124/0-200 wasnt that impressive either. It is either that single clutch gearbox that is slow, or Lamborghini needs to change the guy doing the software for the traction control.
but maybe that is just down to the fact that the Aventador is a 8 year old car with the basic technology that old. Nothing wrong with that, hopefully the next generation will have better.

also on torque, yes an electric box will have an advantage, but if you are launcing a NA car at around 4k RPM, you are in the torque band...

2.6 for the SV or 2.5 for the Performante is fast for a NA engine.

The JOTA will be faster and there is another Performante version incoming - what NA car is faster?

F12 was a 6 year old car upon the tdf - 2.9 0-60 same as the 812 2.9 0-60

Basic technology - c'mon rumor is the SV and JOTA unleashed will do between 230 - 240 mph.

There is nothing basic about the AV - other than the last version beat everything at the ring

63 car looks terrible. Tuner's wet dream gone very wrong.

 

[GreenLantern]

I gotta say, I really want one (non-63), but I can't get over the dated interior (vs. the Huracan Performante, for example) and the ancient transmission.

 

[GreenLantern]

I was told by a reliable source that there isn't. Are they wrong / not as reliable as I thought?

Plus, current Performante Coup and Performante Spyder production isn't even over yet. Still going into late MY2019.

Yes there is another version but for guys that are taller than 6 ft like myself it's challenging.

Who knows when - SUV broke the track record in that category and they have yet to announce.

Rumor is 900 J coupes and guessing same amount of roadsters.

Disagree with the transmission - prefer the single clutch. Once the car receives the update recall it's much better. My SV has the factory race exhaust that update took the car to another level.

Interesting!

Can you shed a bit more light on this?

Thank you!

Hand painted racing numbers stripes the replacement of painted panels to carbon fiber in your opinion makes it a tuners car. There is a line for the LE 63 spec that can be changed to any color configuration.

Saw the 600LT in Monterey - taped on pin stripes roof scoop at 30k and looked fantastic.

The Superleggera Gallardo - not sure what the Huracan will be called but expect a more focussed track version.

also on torque, yes an electric box will have an advantage, but if you are launcing a NA car at around 4k RPM, you are in the torque band...

The issue isn't the amount of power, its how rapidly the power level can change. A NA car at 4k RPM cannot reduce its power output nearly as quickly as an electric, nor can it build the power back up as quickly. Purely on the cycle times, this gives electric a significant advantage, because they can loop through their traction control algorithms more often than a gas car. But its even worse than that... Because the power response is slower in the gas car, its traction control has to use a shallower "ramp" when adding power. It has to be more conservative.

TLDR; for a given power level, electric will always be able to "find" more traction than gas.
