                                               Lamborghini Aventador SVJ review

this is the Lamborghini Aventador SV and it's a little bit like an academic you see with academics the more letters you have after your name the more important you are I'm going to give you a thorough review, and to do that I'm going to talk you around the outside of the inside tell you about the upgrades you get with this. svj over normal Aventador S I'm going to take it for a drive I'm going to do a brake test in it and of course, I'm going to launch it to see how quick it is from north 60 miles an hour and over the standing quarter mile now if you like this kind of cars make sure you. review by talking about the design so the normal Lamborghini Aventador is a crazy-looking car to start with but this SVG just takes things to another level and most of the design changes are to do with aero such as this huge rear wing. the engine cover is slatted in a certain way to feed the air to this huge rear wing there's a massive rear diffuser as well so this is all carbon fiber also I like the exhaust pipes so they're like those on the huracanperformante so they exit from the middle rather than being lowered down like on the standard car and no matter where you look here all the vents are real look huge vents there for the big rear radiators I mean it's just a crazy crazy looking car. here from the side, you can really appreciate just how low to the ground. this Lamborghini Aventador is and being a v12 it gets the scissor doors yes now the svj has some upgrades over the normal Aventador so this whole area here this air intake is slightly redesigned. for improved airflow you've obviously got your svj stickers as you say badging it seems like a sticker to me then down the side this is slightly redesigned as well and you've got unique alloy wheels 20 inches at the front 21s at the back and they're interlocking so you can change them quickly when you pull into the pits here at the front the svj looks even more aggressive. then the normal Aventador it's got a completely new front bumper and look we've got carbon fiber here there are vents here vents more vents for improving the airflow. and look at this Allah now that doesn't refer to a god or anything. although it's slightly god-like in the way it works because it actually means aerodynamic Lamborghini ativa and it, stands for active aerodynamics so you've got these flaps here which can open or close depending on whether you want more downforce or less drag you know it all relates to the speed that you're going now I'm going to give you another translation as well svj so it's super Veloce which means super fast and jay refers to a racing category in the fia or something like that so it's reserved for Lamborghini's most high-performance racing focused cars there you go are looking at one of the main reasons to buy a Lamborghini Aventador it's 6.5liter naturally aspirated v12 and the standard car it puts out 730 horsepower here in the svj you have 770hp and 720-newton meters of torque look atthis you got the firing order there one twelve four nine two eleven six seven three ten five eight gives it a unique sound so shall we experience it go on.

start it upstop that's enough you can cut it youcan cut itotherwise no one will hear me now thisengine is mated to a seven-speed singleclutch robotized manual gearbox but itdoes have launch control solet's use itnow i'm going to launch this card to seehow quick it is a little later on inthis video before then though there'ssome other things we need to look atit's a good thing that a car with thismuch performance has some serious brakeson it so the svj gets carbon ceramics asstandard you've got 400 millimeter discsat the front gripped by six pistoncalipers 380 millimeters at the backequipped by four piston calipers so alsogot special pirelli p0 corsa tyres andthe tyres at the back the cross section355 millimeters now how will that affectthe braking performance actually beforewe do that i've got a question for youwhy is it the time manufacturers do thecross section in millimeters 355 butthey actually do the diameter in inchesgodwhy is thatanyway let's do that brake testall right gonna do a brake test from 70miles an hour full emergency stop let'sdo it here we go how long will it taketo stop let's find out now[Music]godmy neck hurts okay look it stopped from70 in 42 meters that's very very goodand it really felt like as well becausei think i got whiplash it's a risk ofdoing this job you see you know it'svery very dangerousthe svj has a few suspension changesover the standard aventador so theanti-roll bars are 50 stiffer also theactive dampers which let you choosebetween a softer and harder setting havebeen recalibrated for a more sportydrive than what the axle was all aboutthis car has variable ratio steeringwhich is designed to make it feelresponsive without being twitchy at highspeeds you also get rear wheel steeringso the rear wheels will turn the samedirection as the fronts when you'regoing quicker to help the car turn intoa corner whereas when you're goingslowly they turn in the oppositedirection a bit like a forklift truck tohelp make it a bit more maneuverable andthe rear wheel string on the svj istweaked to work with the active aero tomake it even more dynamic this car has alimited slip differential on the rearaxle for better corner exiting tractionalso the four-wheel drive system hasbeen tweaked slightly for this svj soyou now have three percent more torquegoing to the back wheels but you canreally feel that let's find out let'stake it for a drive let's experiencethis aventador svjoh my godobviously that engine dominates thewhole experience i remember driving justthe standard aventador and it felt morecumbersome and leading footedthan this thing the steering is supersharp actually the agility as well theway it turns in it's quite remarkablefor such a big car like this oh my goshthe rear wheel steering is definitelyhelpingand the suspension changes and upgradesfor the svjthis is a visceral experience thoughit's our relaxing drivewow[Music]those gear changes downshifts are goodthe upshifts can be a bit jerky there'sa little bit of a knack to it you sortof want to lift off when you're changingso i'm accelerating[Music]hey you can smooth them out otherwiseyou're not jerking about the blades atthe root like thatwhoai mean such a thing this my goodnesswowwhat are you hanging around this thingoh it's got the performance it's got thegripit's surprisingly agile it does movearound a bit underneath you it feels alot less inert than a normal aventadorit's so playful yet you still got thatbrilliant traction from the four-wheeldrive systemloads of grip from those huge tires andall the time you're being serenaded bythat beautiful beautiful enginesometimes though when you're not hooningit you're just going to want to cruisearound it's going to put into stradawhich i believe is italian for street ifit's wrong tell me in the comments okayso it's going to do its own thing nowit's still an event you do pick up thebumps in the road but they're notterrible and these seatsthey're actually pretty comfy i coulddefinitely do some miles in it let's putit into automatic mode for the gearboxas well for just cruising around it'sfine the only major problems are justthe sheer size of it it's super wide andthen there's the visibility which isreally awful especially at that backwindow but i can live with it it's comfyenough it's not too intrusive it's nottoo hard work what i thinkthis lamborghini feels like a propersupercar here on the inside you've gotthis massive expansive dash loads oftexture to it it's all very angled ahuge center console separating you fromyour passenger you're sitting on thefloor almost and look at this thislittle red cover for the start buttonit's like the cover you'd have on themissile launcher on a fighter jet i meanyou really do feel like you're in acockpit right here it's lovely steeringwheel it's got quite a sensitivity tothis car i love the huge gear shifterpaddles as well your aluminium pedals ilike the way you open the door so youpress this button here and it justlowers the window slightly and then youpull that one and push the door up andthis is handyhandlefor shutting it as well now this svjgets loads of extra carbon fiber aboutthe place there's alcantara everywherewhite stitching white piping morealcantara on the roof lining and morewhite piping and some leather here aswell best bit svj seats like you've gotsvj logo on them there they're carbonfiber backed and they are really comfyyou got alcantara on the steering wheelas well and the dead ahead marker on itit's a really nice place to see itreally is but it's not that practicalthere is no glove boxthere are no door binsi suppose when you open the door andthings will drop outanyway there are no cup holders there'sno excuse for that i mean where you'resupposed to put your coffee the onlystorage area i've found is this littlenet behind here that's it oh and there'sa place here for your mobile phone letyou put your mobile phone in there lookthey're my big mobile phone look lookthis onewon't fitmaybe it'll fit if i open it like thatthere we go yeah that might fit how doyou fit quite fitfitit fits yeah but stillthat's a lotand that brings onto five annoyingthings about this carthe only luggage space you have on thiscar is this front boot and its capacityis 140 liters which is less than half ofthat of a volkswagen polo and i'llillustratejust how small it is because being anitalian car you thinkyou'll be able to fit a human body inhere if you needed to but can you let'sfind out with this shot with a shot canyou put a human body in here no no no nono no no you won't fitall the graphics on the digital driver'sdisplay aren't the sharpest they'reactually all right however those on thecentral infotainment system are reallywashed out and blocking i mean check outsatellite navigation and so slow torespond look at this that's because thissystem i'm sure it's from the previousprevious generation audi a6 becauseobviously audi owned lamborghini andthis car was first launched in 2011 theoriginal aventador and they didn't seemto have updated the main infotainmentsystemwith the car like this you're gonna wantto be able to show people the enginebecause it's a masterpiece howevergetting at it is a bit of a plava youneed two keys and two people look andyou've got to get the keys the right wayaround otherwise they won't work in theopposite lock so put the key in thereopen this hatchsee just find it difficult you're righti'm struggling are you under pressurethere we go it's all right press thisbutton go on that's it and try not tobreak itthen you lift this up now you've got itreleasedand carefully does itthere you go that's rightand you need to find somewhere soft toput it so yeah you guys leave it on thegrass and now we can look at the enginefinally actually guys can you put itback on i want to just do that takeagaini'm only joking you always end upgetting stones collecting in these sideskirts got a few here already and that'sjust from a few miles of driving alsoyou get leaves and twigs and road grimegathering in this radiator duct herethen together you have to remove thiswhole panel to be able to clean it alloutthe angle of the windscreen means thatyou get the dash reflecting it quitebadly it's really quite noticeable ifthe sun is strong in fact you'll be sobad you can barely see out which isn'tgreat in a car this quickit's not all negative though here's fivegood things about this carthis car is almost five meters long yeahthanks to that rear wheel steering it'sgot the turning circle of a volkswagengolfthis plaque here shows that this car isone of 900 and because the svj is alimited run car it should hold its valuewell which is handy when the startingprice is 360 000 pounds now if you'rethinking about buying or selling yourcar and you want to make sure you get afair price for it click on the pop outbanner up there to get a car wowalternatively just simply google help mecar wow and my team and i help youchoose the right car for you and get itfor a fair price from one of our trusteddealers orwe'll help you silly car get a fairprice from one of our trusted dealersthis car uses airflow to help it steer abit like a plane you see the air goes inthere and spreads along the wing and canexit through these vents underneath butthe car can shut off either side of thewing so the air can't escape and thathelps it turn into corners it's all veryclever the use of various bits of carbonfiber and common ceramic brakes helpreduce the weight of the normalaventador by 50 kilos so this thingweighs in at1525 kilogramsthe titanium exhaust has reduced backpressure and when you combine that witha lightweight flywheel you get an enginethat can rev quicker than in the normalaventador and in case you're wonderingthis car's top speed is over219 miles an hourthis big bad lambo especially naught 60in 2.8 seconds but what will it do i'mgoing to use my specialist timing gearhere measure iti know these launch in such a brutal wayi feel so bad for the mechanics on thecar because it just drops its clutch andyeah let's see what happens let's do iti can't figure out how to do itcorsa escoff there we gonow let's do it[Music]wow the gear changes3.07 what's the quarter mileten pointeightit was a bit of a stuttery launch ohbut it's so so bad for the carthat single clutch dropped the wheelsspin a bit and depending on yourtraction levels that's your two tenthsright there do i think you can do 2.8yes it can if you get a slightly betterlaunch but i'm not doing it againbecause i just have too much mechanicalsympathy now electric cars the way theylaunch and push it back in your seat isincredible but there's something aboutthis the way all that energy just goesto the drive train the way you get thosejolts when it changes gearthe noise thatof the engine oh it's just so much andyour senses struggle to just take it allin that it all just becomes a bit of ablur nowif you want to seeanother car actually launch quicker thanthispull into there click in the top righthand corner screen on the pop-up banneryou see what the car is and what thetime isso then what's my final verdict on thelamborghini aventador svj should youavoid it should you consider it shouldyou shortlist it or should you just goright ahead and buy
