2017 Lamborghini Aventador S, 740 bhp of naturally aspirated goodness


This announcement from Lamborghini is definitely the way to end the year. The raging bulls V12 flagship gets an update after 5 years. The 2017 Aventador S packs in 40 more horses, the 6.5 liters naturally aspirated V12 now produces 740 bhp. The redline is pegged to 8500 from 8350 rpm and with a lighter exhaust, enthusiasts will love flooring the pedal in tunnels. 0 to 62 mph comes in 2.9 seconds and the V12 will go on and on till it reaches 217 mph. Suspension and aerodynamics have been tweaked, but important addition is the four-wheel-drive steering, a first for a production Lambo. A system that steers the rear wheels in the opposite direction of the front wheels at low speeds and in the same direction of the fronts at high speeds. Thus helping reduce the turning radius and improving stability respectively. Another addition is a new driving mode – along with Strada, Corsa, and Sport there is Ego, a mode which lets you tweak the beasts drivetrain and suspension settings.
