FearLess Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Lamborghini first unveiled its Aventador SVJ at a worldwide premiere during Monterey Car Week in California during September 2018. Order books for local buyers also opened in SA at the time. In January 2019, the first SVJ has been shipped to South Africa for a cool R9 695 000 and it's absolutely breathtaking. Production is limited to 900 units and it's available from R9.6-million (including a three-year or 100 000km Driveplan). The new Aventador SVJ, where SV historically stands for Superveloce - meaning 'superfast' - takes the 'Jota' suffix, denoting its track and performance superiority: the Aventador SVJ has already claimed its position as the Nürburgring-Nordschleife production car record holder, completing the 20.6 km lap in just 6min44.97. "The challenge to Lamborghini designers and engineers was to improve the purest essence of the Lamborghini super sports car, drawing on every inspiration from a space ship to a jet fighter: all the most exceptional examples of super-fast, super-athletic, aerodynamic superiority. The Aventador SVJ takes another step into the future, shaping the potential for super sports car development." The SVJ develops 720Nm at 6750rpm, while a dry weight of just 1525 kg gives the SVJ a weight-to-power ratio of 1.98 kg/hp. The SVJ accelerates from zero to 100km/h in 2.8 seconds and from 0 to 200km/h in 8.6 seconds. It has a claimed top speed of more than 350km/h with a braking distance of 100km/h to 0 in 30 meters. The Aventador SVJ is a driver-focused car, developed to maximize the union between driver and car in the most extreme road and track conditions and ensure the most rewarding experience. It has three driving modes: Strada, Sport and Corsa, as well as the EGO option allowing the driver to further customize his preferences for car set-up, the cockpit features Kombi graphics on the TFT digital dashboard display as well as showing live status of the ALA functions.
