The grey Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Coupe, with a red interior, is based in Orange County. Grey keeps the paint calm and lets the shape do the work on the quickest combustion car in our fleet, at 2.5 seconds to sixty, with the roof fixed so the full active aerodynamics package stays intact. Book it when the day calls for serious rather than theatrical.
This is the quickest combustion car in our fleet at 2.5 seconds to sixty, and the way it gets there is worth understanding before you drive it. The naturally aspirated V12 sends power through all four wheels while an active aerodynamic system opens and closes ducts in the front splitter and the rear wing, switching between low drag and downforce as the road demands. Run it up Ortega Highway and the wing can stall one side at a time to help the car rotate into a corner, a system built to set a lap record and fitted here to a car you can actually rent. Everything about it is excessive and that excess is the entire appeal.
Grey on an SVJ is the quiet specification on a car that is incapable of being quiet, and the contrast is what makes it worth shooting. Park it outside Fashion Island or South Coast Plaza, where the paint sits calm against storefront glass while the vents, splitter and wing still read as engineering rather than decoration. Grey holds detail in the flat, bright light Orange County gets most afternoons, where a black SVJ would lose those same surfaces to shadow. The red interior is the only saturated colour on the car, and it earns its own frame with the scissor doors up. Get low and shoot the rear wing against open sky.
This is the quickest combustion car we own and the hardest edged Aventador of the three, because the roof stays on and the aerodynamic package stays intact rather than costing a fraction of a second to a removable panel. Our SVJ Roadster runs the identical 759 hp specification with the roof out in white, which trades a sliver of that edge for the roof off spectacle. Grey is also the only restrained Aventador we run, against a white roadster and a red SV. Book this one when the day calls for the car to be serious rather than theatrical, and when rear wheel steering and the full active aero matter more than an open roof.
This is the Aventador SVJ Coupe, the closed roof version of Lamborghini's V12 halo car. Standard on the SVJ is ALA 2.0, the active aerodynamic system that opens and closes ducts in the front splitter and rear wing, along with rear wheel steering and the louvred engine cover that nods to the old Miura Jota. Because the roof is fixed rather than removable, the SVJ's full aerodynamic package stays intact in every condition. Underneath is the 6.5 liter naturally aspirated V12 making 759 hp, sent through a single clutch gearbox to all four wheels. This car pairs that specification with grey paint over a red interior, the quietest exterior on the fastest Aventador we run.
