New Lamborghini to cost $800k
Lamborghini has officially announced New Zealand pricing for the new Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, with prices starting from $818,864*.
Production numbers are also limited to 900.
The Lamborghini Aventador SVJ has already claimed its title as the Nürburgring-Nordschleife production car record holder, completing the lap in just 6:44.97 minutes.
The Aventador SVJ’s Nürburgring-Nordschleife lap record is proof of its benchmarking performance. With its optimised power plant making it the most powerful series production V12-engined car produced to date by Lamborghini.
The SVJ features an increase in power to 566kW at maximum 8,500rpm. The SVJ outputs 720Nm of torque at 6,750rpm, while a dry weight of just 1,525 kg gives the SVJ a power-to-weight ratio of 1.98kg/hp.
The SVJ accelerates from standing to 100kph in 2.8 seconds and from 0 to 200kph in 8.6 seconds.
A top speed of more than 350kph is complemented by a braking distance of 100kph to 0 in 30 metres.
The SVJ is significantly enhanced in appearance compared to the Aventador S. The main goal in design was a significant downforce improvement compared to the previous Aventador SV, with +40 per cent on both axles with an improved drag coefficient -1 per cent.
From the front the car is wider: a new front bumper with integrated side fins features a new air intake and highlights the inclusion of Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA), Lamborghini’s patented active aerodynamics technologies.
The disconnected front splitter continues the impression of a floating component while providing a channel for airflow.
A tri-dimensional air outlet on the hood directs airflow, improves both drag and downforce, and clearly alludes to the aerodynamic purpose of the SVJ’s design.
The upper body aerodynamic optimisation has contributed 70 per cent to the total downforce improvement in the SVJ over the SV.
The SVJ’s suspension has been reworked, providing higher mechanical and aerodynamic grip.
Anti-roll bar stiffness has been improved by 50 per cent compared to the Aventador SV, compensating against roll and improving aero efficiency.
A higher damping force range, increased by 15 per cent over the SV, and Lamborghini’s Magneto Rheological Suspension (LMS) has been recalibrated to improve body and wheel control with a focus on track performance.
The Lamborghini SVJ’s four-wheel drive system has improved torque split to maximise traction and agility, with the higher stability of the SVJ allowing a further 3 per cent of torque to be sent to the rear axle compared to the SV.
With Lamborghini’s three driving modes, Strada, Sport and Corsa, as well as the EGO option allowing the driver to further customise 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.
The first New Zealand deliveries of the new Lamborghini will commence in Autumn 2019.
