So, would you have the Aventador S, or the Ferrari 812 Superfast below?
ruclips.net/video/Rt5Pamh1ABQ/видео.html
Autocar neither..the 720s thanks
Autocar No I would get the Performante or 720s
Petrolhead_Carspotters that colour is awesome and id certainly take the ferrari over the lambo also
Aventador S Roadster
If I was super rich I would have both cars spec'd up to the Max
It doesn't matter what other cars u can get at that price. U gotta love the awesome character of this car. Love it (Y)
This machine never gets old even after 6-8 years...
10 years later and it's still amazing
@@mustang8206 make that 11
The aventador is still my type of Lambo
Mine too
550-2
740-4
Wow, so many people in the comments appear to have driven the Aventador S, judging by their massive statements. Lol.
Let me tell you, I've been fortunate enough to drive that actual Lamborghini for a bit on an event last month.
My verdict? That thing is simply mindblowing!!!
Wow so many people commenting on comments that don't exist, even if you know a lot about cars you can't comment on it if you haven't driven it
@@Rohrlfan ok.
Who even complains about storage in such cars? Smh
Tychicus Kinimi when you own one and go for a long drive and nowhere to put stuff
it was more of an observation than a complaint. relax dude
Guys I wrote this comment with a little humour behind it. It wasn’t meant to be taken seriously. Personally I feel like people that buy supercars or hypercars don’t really look at the storage of the cars but the performance. Don’t put too much thought into my main comment
Tychicus Kinimi... k
Tychicus Kinimi I see now. My apologies
If I have the money I will buy this car over the McLaren 720s basis on look and the INTOXICATING EXHAUSTS Note alone. I know it is slower then the 720s but who care the dam thing does 0-60 2.6-2.7s that more then plenty fast for me. The naturally aspirated V12, combine with the look and the Intoxicating exhaust notes just kill it for me : )
I will buy Volkswagen bettle (second hand). U guys are so poor. Do hard work to become as rich as me 😅
@@supriyayadav4213 I bought a car brand new. Feel your patheticness
Lambo will always be no.1 in the holy sh*t category.
The sound and looks alone are worth the price! Such an epic car!
Most of you with these stupid comments haven't even gotten inside of this car but knows how the car drives and feels😂😂😂😂 the internet is crazy
Precisely.
ty for the video! i love how you record the sound of the engine ! ty Autocar!
Love the new 'fanged' front end
theRealAV8r it looks so mean I love it
2nd fav lambo after Gallardo 550-2
One of the best auto reviewers out there, always enjoy your videos.
Yes, he js very good and calm in his delivery.
Nice video, I liked the walk-around and shot choice - my only crit is that the VO audio wasn't up to the standard of the rest, sounded like a mic without a pop-shield?
nooooo Dan I loved your articles for EVO magazine!! why did you do this switch?
Best looking super car, by far. Including hyper cars.
Great Video Review of a amazing Italian Supecar
the gearbox is part of the Lambo experience, its supposed to throw you forward then back into your seat when it changes up with full throttle hence the single clutch system,
Good honest review.
6:10 V12 glory
Wonderful review, still incredible engine note.
Just needs a twin-clutch and Baam!!!! Supercar of the year
I think the aventador's gearbox should be like it was originally. Gives you a punch on every upshift, an exciting kick.
Can someone please tell me if the open sound track that's playing!
The wide seats are not for snake hiped youngsters, 55-year-olds, you know the guys that can afford one of these are a little wider.
True - even at 45
Or maybe they are ballers or other rich people who are in shape, so your argument that lambo should basically make seats for fatasses makes no sense. Sure it has to accomodate some larger individuals but they dont need to be THAT wide.
Stephen Morrish that is so stereotypical and rude
A really really good review.
If Lambo could get the weight down to 1500kg or so, reduce the size & update the gear box I think this would be a must have - that V12 deserves better around it.
Can the seats be reclined?
fantastic sound
Which is the first best then?
Really good video
"This cars got the optional-*SCREAMS*-carbon pack"
The Aventador S vs the 812 Superfast is a valid comparison : The 812 is engaging and comes with a masterpiece of an engine but, in a northern climate, the 4wd Aventador will always have the advantage on a wet or icy day. The 812 has better all-round visibility and is a less stressful day-to-day option - especially in city traffic. Both are great long distance GTs.
Why is it that the Cross bracing is not centered over the Aventadors engine???
Which is off center and why?
Engine is off center not the bracing
I love the look of that interior. I love the quilted stitching. I wish they had extended the brown leather to more of the interior. I don't like the bare carbon mirrors and air intake. With a Ferrari you have a lot more color and option choices. Thanks.
@6:10 Wish this engine sound could be my ringtone
Performance-wise i doubt it can hold a candle to the 720S, that car is out of this world. But when you look at the full picture (design, sound, experience) then probably
Kaisuke971 nah dude. Ive driven it and the Aventador S is much faster. It is 918 level fast. The 720s isn't that fast. The 720s is just not that fast. The 720s is much more responsive but it isnt that grippy as the Aventador S. The turn in is much better than the 720s. So maybe you can compare them but they aren't direct rivals.
First time I'm reading someone's comment who has "driven" the 720S and says it isn't that fast
john m dude this isn't fanboy stuff. The 720s is fast as hell. But around corners and stuff the Aventador S is just that much better.
Imad S drive one to believe it
Kaisuke971 I totally agree. McLaren needs to get their sound sorted. It might be superficial but these cars are all about that. If the Lambo is a 10 for sound, the McLaren is a 6
As a car lover through and through. This is probably my dream car next to the GT3RS 991.2
Which song is playing in the Background ????
Awesome car
When I grow up I will own a Aventador s and Mercedes-Benz Maybach!
Believe in you mate!
You will !
You will, i believe it
traction on here is crazy, look how it sticks to the road.
Anyone know the name of the intro song?
love the new rear design. I dont know if i like the new front end.
Nice review from Dan, love these!
5:40 says he would be leaping out in the old car.... *proceeds to leap outta of the new on*
Engine mounts: noticeably soft during gear changes.. easily cause for reliability issues. Engines moves alot, during gear changes.
i think the aventador S is the hottest looking aventador..it's gorgeous, but, the new mclaren 720S recnetly ran a 9.9@148.2mph in Road & Track performance car of the year issue, and on Drag times it ran a 9.9@142mph. so in the 1/4 mile, no the lambo wouldn't beat the 720S.
and this coming from a huge lambo fan, but i would take the aventador S over either the 720S or the Ferrari superfast. ..great video as always.
Anyone else think the single clutch is INTEGRAL to the Aventador? It gives it that drama in the gear shifts that a dual clutch just doesn't supply. The shift are "too good." That slight pause between shifts, that jolting hesitation in the note is what gives the Aventador its soundtrack. Why would you want to take that away from it?
I've driven both - the 720S is too refined, almost boring. Fast, but excitement already fading towards the end of my 30-minute drive. Aventador S reminds you that you're in a supercar 100% of the time. Pure adrenaline. Rev it to just 4k at a standstill and your hairs stand up immediately. I would definitely get an S over the 720S.
Raging Bull 😤
Nice review. At 0:49, listening to the way the "Plus" sounds, it's evident you need a pop filter for your microphone, even if it's just pantyhose on a bit of wire in front of the mic.
That is the sound of fury!
How does a car of this price and caliber not have supportive seats or an updated infotainment system - something that a Chevy Cruze has as standard.
I had one of this and in accident before 3 months I just lost this car and thinking to buy another one it is just superb
Sounds out of this world
bgm please?
Just give me one of these with a gated 6spd manual and I'd be a happy man. Now that would be an awesome driver's car!
Good car
This looks and sounds better than anything from mclaren or ferrari
The single clutch transmission is the heart of the car the part of it that adds a little theatre which is why lambo must keep it and the engine is the sole and what is a sole without a heart to back it up.
I'd rather the OG Aventador, I just prefer its front bumper and exhaust. Also feels weird hearing that a Lambo has 4 wheels that turn rather than just two.
They make it sound like it's such cutting edge to have 4 wheel steering, but the Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo had that back in the early 90's.
can this one beat Project One? i doubt it.
Cool l like it
I want this car
stop 720s is not on that lvl imo. perhaps but who cares.
the lambo looks and sounds better
timeless design
Why doesn't it have one of the VW groups auto boxes? or does it and its just awful? VW group have transmissions that can handle the power RS6/RS7 have 600hp? and people have tuned them to 700hp+
It's all great the car's improved. But it doesn't matter at all. The only thing the buyers of Lambo care about is wether the car can spit flames while revving on popular spotting route. Well can it?
Ego mode sounds like tosser mode in English. haha.
fcukugimmeausername Hey! I'm an "American chap from across the pond". I've always wondered: With, exactly, is a "tosser"?
WHAT.....not "With"
effin autocorrect...
Ever since I've known about cars, Lamborghinis have not been driver's cars, they've been the poster car that everyone wants but can't have. That hasn't changed with this car. It's still desirable.
V12s are music to my ears!
Looking very sporty. ..
Love watching videos of supercars I'll never buy....
6:24 wow, me too
This is a real car imo there’s nothing more in a car I really want and the Aventador will always be that way to me
2:35 Ouch!!! 😷
He mentioned he doesn't have much headroom but left out how tall he is..
Having Driven a Huracan which by the way makes the best engine sound in my opinion, like you, I couldn't care how out of date some of its tech is, for me it's how it goes and boy! Does it go!!!, was on my Bucket list, in a way it makes me feel sad, I've driven a McLaren and a Porsche GT3 also, having done that the now Drive slower on Public roads because if I'd had one of the above I'd have crashed them in the first Week!, the only other Bucket Drive would be a ride in a Chiron, but that'll never happen...😟
A ugr twin turbo set up and all good for 0-200-0.
Wonder how much power the Aventador would need to make to keep up with a 720S? I'm thinking 900hp at least
the F12 TDF review is my favourite...loved how the guy started it off riding a bike
Next one probably plug in hybrid lol
why would you buy the boring mclaren when you can buy this
I love it, but the weight is a big gripe. I would love for Lambo to do a RWD Aventador. That would be supreme.
What compares with the Lambo?
My Life only dream Lamborghini $$$$$$$$$
Lamborghini doesn't make the fastest or the most track ready cars but they def make the coolest...just give it the twin-clutch from the hurucan
He is rewieving a sportier verson of a sports car and he mentions storage space....
You reviewed a Lamborghini like a natgeo documentary lol
6:10 say no more
Ich hatte schon die Chance, den Aventador eines sehr guten Freundes zu fahren. Das Auto musste leider vor 2 Jahren verkauft werden. Hätte ich Geld gehabt, hätte ich ihn übernommen, ein schönes atemberaubendes Auto ❤❤
Lamborghini should really allow this v12 to make at least 800hp in order to even compete with some other competitors. Everything else seems on point.
I have one and it is crap. I will be selling soon. I only enjoy looking at the beautiful bodywork. Driving it is Hell!!
Audi and its senior partner the Volkswagen Group will have to fork out some serious money to finance the Aventador's replacement for 2020.
I like how they waited until 7 min into the video to talk about that garbage transmission.
It`s best in manual mode, in fact way more fun than any DCT out there right now.
Yea, gives a better kick in the back than the DCT's. Not gonna make a difference unless you're a proffessional driver, but the Aventador trans will 100% feel more "brutal", which is what the whole car is about
AP13P it slows it down , and it's dimwitted any other time
The transmission is not garbage. It's not much less smooth than the 812 dual clutch but it is much lighter and also sits lower in the chassis.
People who say its garbage are just spoiled little princesses who don't want an ouchie in their neck. Grow up, lambos engineers aren't idiots they make it violent so its emotive. If you want a smooth transmission go drive a Chevrolet spark
Performance wise absolutely not. However, every other factor that makes a super car what it is then hands down for sure. I would choose the Aventador over the 720 any day. It's not a "slow" car by any means lol, just that the 720s is faster. However, imo it has better looks, sound, etc.
Why is Lamborghini only now getting the same 740HP as Ferrari did long ago with the F12? Now they are still lagging.
The sound of the engine is still well short of the Zonda F.
Dct from huracan please!!!!
Likely not torque capable, or capable with the extra weight of the Aventador. A new high torque DCT is a very very expensive thing.
Scotracer1987 it need zf8 speed then, the current one seems to old school
Scotracer1987 I'm sure they could beef up the huracan DCT for aventador if turners using thing with 800+ hp
