Lamborghini Aventador For Sale

The Lamborghini Aventador was launched in early 2011, designed to replace the then decade old Murcialago as the flagship at the time. The Aventador would win awards such as EVO car of the year in 2011, proving that the Lamborghini was not just all mouth and no trousers. Aventador production came to an end in 2022, after proving very successful for the company.

What the Aventador has to offer 

The Aventador benefits from several models in its range, with the order denoted by letters such as S, SV and SVJ. Over its eleven-year timespan, the Aventador came as either a hard-top coupe or as a convertible in Roadster guise. Lamborghini is not known for their subtlety, and the Aventador is no different. With poster-worthy, loud supercar looks and an even louder 6.5L V12 nestled snugly behind the seats, the Aventador lives up to Lamborghini’s name, with mad acceleration provided by the 690bhp V12 that propels the car from 0-62mph under three seconds. There’s a 729bhp Aventador S and the insanely rapid 740bhp Superveloce. Lamborghini has also made a couple of special editions that should be noted- the Aventador Pirelli and only 50 of a Miura Homage that offers Miura-specific colour combinations, such as red and gold.

Interior and tech 

Naturally, ingress and egress will not be easy nor graceful for the tall people amongst us, and you’re aided in no part by the scissor doors. Once you’re in, however, the Aventador’s interior doesn’t seem to have aged particularly well, but still offers fighter aircraft fantasies with its rows of buttons and dramatic stop/start button. Tech is not great, and what is present is borrowed from the Audi A4 of the time, such as the central infotainment screen that sits at the top of the bridge between the two seats. Standard equipment isn’t too shabby, with conveniences such as dual-zone climate control that wouldn’t be out of place in a modern car. Cabin quality is good, thanks to the frequent use of excellent materials throughout the interior.

What are the running costs? 

The Aventador, as you might expect, does not achieve city car levels of fuel economy, just about managing 16mpg and CO2 emissions of 370g/km at its best, falling into the most expensive tax bracket. Expect maintenance to be costly, although with parts from the Audi parts bin you might expect some degree of reliability, though maintenance and upkeep of the car will still be ruinously expensive. That’s not really the point of the car however, and thus is not the Aventador’s strong point.
