740-HP SV MODEL SHEDS WEIGHT AND GAINS POWER TO GET FROM 0-62 MPH IN 2.8 SECONDS
Four years after the debut of the original Aventador, Lamborghini has brought a lighter and more powerful version to the Geneva motor show. Dubbed the Aventador LP750-4 SuperVeloce, the SV is meant to be offered alongside the "base" version of Sant'Agata's V12 all-wheel-drive bull.
The 6.5-liter V12 engine and the seven-speed automated manual transmission remain the same for this version of the Aventador, but Lamborghini has reworked the intake system, the valve timing and the exhaust system. As a result, the car churns out an impressive 740 hp. That's up from 691 hp in the regular Aventador. While the horsepower output has received a noticeable hike, the torque output remains at 509 lb-ft. In case you're wondering where the number 750 in the name comes from: That's the metric horsepower rating of the newly tweaked supercar. Further, the car manages to shed aproximately 110 pounds of weight.
"The new Aventador SuperVeloce continues the Lamborghini tradition of SV models, pushing the boundaries in terms of performance and pure driving emotion," says Stephan Winkelmann, president and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. "The original Aventador was presented four years ago, and the SuperVeloce pays homage to its passionate owners, as well as the fan community whose enthusiasm has resulted in the biggest commercial success ever of a Lamborghini V12 super sports car. In the SuperVeloce, Lamborghini's expertise in lightweight engineering is clearly evident. With technological features which, combined with design, quality standards and craftsmanship, the SuperVeloce results in the most exclusive, pure and emotional production model in the history of our brand."

Lamborghini says that the Aventador 750-4 SuperVeloce is now good for a 0-62 mph sprint of 2.8 seconds and a top speed in excess of 217 hp. Suddenly, Brabus' 850 6.0 Biturbo Coupe starts to make a bit more sense.
The weight savings were achieved by making several exterior components, such as the door panels, engine cover and rear wing from carbon fiber -- the weight-loss material of choice when it comes to just about any sports car.
The Aventador LP750-4 SuperVeloce still features Lamborghini's pushrod suspension system. The adaptive Magneto Rheological Suspension couteracts body roll in the corners, as well as brake diving. The company's Dynamic Steering system, meanwhile, adapts the steering ratio to the selected driving mode as well as road speed, working to achieve greater stability at high speed.

Lamborghini's SV models date all the way back to the svelte Miura, though just about every model has since featured an SV variant. A large racing-style rear wing will be the most obvious tell-tale element of the new Aventador LP750-4 SuperVeloce, and like its predecessors the supercar will also feature large (but not too large) SV lettering on the sides.
