There’s no reason to have a car that can be driven on the road and is capable of reaching over 200 mph, but we’re sure glad Lamborghini chooses to make them. The Aventador sounds like a mean bull in the ring and with the bull logo on the front and the massive power from the engine you’ll only notice the logo when this car it at a standstill. At the top of the Lamborghini lineup, the Aventador shows us what we love to admire about super sports cars in two distinctly different models that are both amazing to drive.

The two models of this car are the base LP 700-4 which isn’t exciting at all unless you consider a car that can mash your body to the seat and take off in a way that will nearly break your neck exciting. The Superveloce LP 750-4 is the higher trim of the two and it offers you a weight savings of nearly 100 pounds over the base model and more horsepower to make sure the added power doesn’t have to work harder to carry you and this rocket on wheels around the track or down the road.

We have to talk engines before anything else and the Aventador, in either form uses the same engine for the job. What we find giving this car its insanely massive power is a 6.5-liter V12 engine that produces 700 horsepower in the base model and 740 in the Superveloce. Both setups will enjoy a full 509 lb.-ft. of torque and be attached to an amazing seven-speed automatic transmission that puts the power to all four wheels. This is a car that can move from zero to sixty mph in only three seconds and has a top speed of 217 mph while not using turbo or supercharging. There is a cylinder deactivation system that’s used on the street to use only half the cylinders in the Strada mode, which allows you to enjoy some fuel savings.

Looking to this car for standard equipment you’ll find the Aventador comes fully equipped with everything you need. This car offers you power adjustable leather seats, voice activated phone and navigation systems, several airbags, a button to lift the front of the car 1.5 inches, an Aventador infotainment system and all the racing features you could ever expect to find on a car that costs as much as this one does.

The additions you can add begin with your imagination and then bring some practicality to the mix. These include a rearview camera, parking sensors, a clear plastic engine cover, a premium audio system, and a wide variety of different paint colors and schemes for you to create your own personalized Aventador. The only limit to what you can do with this car is the amount of money you’re willing to spend to have the super car of your dreams.

One of the most impressive items you’ll notice on this car is found in the details. You buy an Italian sports car because the automaker has paid close attention to the details and adds the little things that make the Aventador a car you want to drive. Another impressive and Lamborghini signature feature is the scissor-doors that are found on the car. These doors seem to be a staple in the barn of the bull these days and make the entrance and exit of the car easier than it would be without them.

What does it feel like to drive the Aventador? You step inside the car and immediately feel as if you’ve been transferred to a place and time that’s beyond your recognition and reason. Every detail is exceptional and starting the car gives you the sound of a growling beast positioned not too far behind your seat. If out on the track you can easily slip into Sport or Corsa mode and let this car roar around the blacktop as you precisely guide this missile where you want it to go. The control is amazing and the power is exciting to give you the ride you’ve always dreamed of but never thought possible. Let the Aventador take your mind and your breath away when you push this bull around the track.
