Lamborghini Aventador S review
If the current Aventador was starting to feel a bit ancient around the edges, this sensational new S model comes fighting right back. On the move it makes giant steps forward, and on the eye it's more beautiful than ever. But then at £277,000 before options you’d want it to be something special, and it is.

This guy has the best job in the universe
I'd take Steve's job over that everytime without a second thought.
you could have just said pornstar
how do you apply to be one anyway (just out of curiousty)?
isn't being the universe the best job in the universe??
best job = no job =)))
Cool :)
Lamborghini ayy salty
pls give me a chance to drive one of these i live in the netherlands thx! xd (this wish will never come true, am I right Lamborghini?)
jealous much?
stfu
Vasu Arora Ik heb dezelfde droom :) Ik zou al helemaal blij zijn om er in een te zitten als die stil staat. Elke dag wacht ik..
The front facelift looks so amazing!
This guy is my favourite test driver. real professionalist .
Steve's pronunciation of Lamborghini is so smooth.
@cannabased if you have mental deficiency.
@cannabased this isnt reddit you braindead mongoloid, go clean out the cheeto dust on your shirt first smh
no mention of the gearbox?? That was the biggest "problem" with original aventador. I guess its still a single clutch but have they improved it? was it smoother?
sidewaysswe still single clutch...
Beau Braekeveld yes i know. But i would have liked to know if it has been improved in shifting speed and smoothness. I guess they will mention it when they do a test of it on the road.
sidewaysswe Lamborghini likes their brutal shifts rather than performance.
Have another look at the video, the answer to your question is quite visible (in Corsa mode at least).
Lamborghini made the SV have a smoother gearbox, but with the S looks like it has been further refined by a lot. It's shifting speed is fast enough in Corsa mode, just 10ms slower than Ferrari's dual clutch.
It would be beautiful in nardo grey.
ezar howard fuuuuu yes it would
These wheels are ugly as fuck though. The SVs were black but the silver-ish colour is cancer to the eyes.
ezar howard funny you say that because I thought it was best in yellow
a genital wart is beautiful in nardo grey

Journos are always happy to state the old models flaws when the new car is driven but NEVER share these honest views at the time of testing.
Great car! Can't wait to review it later this year. I am very happy about the changes to the instruments and the added shift lights.
Can't wait to see these guys criticize stuff about the original Aventador and praise this one. When the next model comes along, the S will have been pretty much the worst Aventador of all time according to these guys.
They'll say stuff like: "When the original Aventador came along, it shook the Automotive world. After a phenomenal 5 year run, Lamborghini launched the S version. Although good as a car, it had lost it's charm as a Lamborghini. But it's back in this one. *exaggerated awe expression Yes, it's properly back with this one!!"
Honestly that seems pretty spot on. The intro was fairly complimentary to the original, but once he got to driving suddenly it was just a fast car with loose and unsychronized dynamics. I remember reviews even then talking about how much improved the dynamic characteristics of the Aventador were over previous models. All that said I think it's a moving goal post and I don't believe that anyone can completely cement their memory of something in history and then recall it exactly as it was. Cars that felt fast no longer feel that way, cars with fantastic gearboxes and incredibly responsive engines 10 years ago, now feel like lurching on/off switches.
As much as the numbers would make it seem like they should be running into diminishing returns I get the feeling that cars actually getting better at an increasing rate again. I think it's hard for a reviewer to remember exactly what they felt about the Aventador in the context of its time when they have since driven Mclaren 675s and P1s, Ferrari 488s and Laferraris and when even cars like Nissan's GTR have actually improved in leaps and bounds in 5 years.
Take the LaFerrari and the Enzo. Just look at the power. Just the NA engine is a big step up, but throw in the electronic motor and you have nearly 50% more power, far more torque and vastly improved response in the LaFerrari. Dynamically that engine is better in every way which would be a big step, but then throw in the extra 300hp and it's not even close. Remembering how impressed you were with the Enzo when it first came out would be difficult. Look at how long cars like the F40 and Mclaren F1 were praised, I genuinely think things are just moving that much faster now.
That said it does feel like a bit of hyperbole to hear some of what they say, even in this review considering I can off hand remember things differently and I wasn't paying that much attention.
Steve, I am from America and I absolutely love your reviews. One of my favorite journalists to say the least and this review was a delight as well. My favorite though without any doubt was when you reviewed the Hennessey Venom GT. Your delight and enthusiasm radiated right through the television.
Wow, I wasn't expecting such a massive overhaul from the current model. Can't wait to see this up against the current pretenders from mclaren and ferrari
UzzyFuzzyy yeah they look so different from what is currently available on supercars, very intricate
Pretenders? Im sure you mean contenders
you are sarcastic right?
The Huracan is better than this tbh
Mansa Musa so Lamborghini made the "new" Aventador S worse than its cheaper, less powerful brother? Sounds logical...
Steve is my favorite.Perfectly edited video!10/10
hearing Steve's voice is a revelation These days
stfu
I'm pleased with how a new Lamborghini looks for the first time in like 6 years.
this face lift grew on me the same way the huayra grew on me its like fine wine the more you look at it the more beautiful it becomes
does it have a dual clutch?
No
That sound, bloody hell !
Kaisuke971 lol
uglyiest aventador yet, or not the uglyiest but the front bumper looks horrible
how can you tell if you're blind?
it looks fkin fantastic
You'll get used to it
This Aventador looks the best out of all the lamborghini series in my opinion.
Menrio Effendi, Murcielago, Miura, 350gt, 400gt, Countach, Diablo, and the Huracan are all better than the Aventador to be honest.
I'll take one in nero nemesis black please!
I was waiting for a magazine to review the white Aventador S from all the colors available at that presentation in Spain. And finally it happened! I think this is the best looking of them all with those rims, and color combination
So does the aventador s replace the normal aventador ?
Would you guys mind getting started on my 2020 Aventador S?
Very cool. Thanks for the upload
Now give me the roadster version already!
the 4 wheel steering damn son, I can feel it from here lol.
Okay, I have done about 60 laps in a regular Aventador at that track. It felt brutal but heavy there. It seemed that I always had to manage the weight there. Also, when braking from 150-160mph at the end of that front straight, the rear end would start dancing a bit. I wonder if all of that is gone now?!
why is Lambo trying to make these look like reptiles?
Does it have single clutch or dual clutch
That new exhaust sounds FANTASTIC! It's so much more sonorous, and it's got the crackles and pops YES.
I still think the Murcielago sounds better
Huey Freeman I think so too. New engine just doesn't sound as good.
Agreed, Murcielago has a higher pitch and it's eargasmic
Have you heard it in IRL? I did in Singapore and almost shat my pants. And that wasn't the S model.
Anssi Jaakkola it sounds great but the Merc sounds more vicious
Huey Freeman it definitely does!
The transmission is still from a clutch, or was it actually passed to two clutches?
Anyone know which one more expensive and faster the s or svj asking for details
Tommy Likes I think the svj
Does *ANYBODY* know where that b-roll was filmed? I must go there, it's gorgeous!
Never been a fan of the Aventador but this new "S" model really tickles my fancy quite a bit, i really love the way they styled this one.............Subscribed !
While they have improved it performance wise, I still don't like the exterior changes. The fixed air vents, the triangular exhaust and those "fangs" in the front bumper don't look good. The SV still is the best looking Aventador according to me.
BlackWind haha those design features are exactly what I love, it reminds me of the striking on the Gallardo Sqaudra Corse
I wasn't a fan of the SC. STS looked better. These are just cars that after a certain point, you can't add anything to them. Or rather you shouldn't. The Squadra Corsa looks weird with those extra slats and creases added. At least thats my opinion.
BlackWind I'm not a fan of those "fangs" either but I'd get over it pretty quickly
@BlackWind true true
Actually it pretty much reminds me of the Huracan, especially the "shorter" back behind the rear wheels makes it look a lot smaller than the previous model. Not a good choice in my opinion. :D
I was very surprised at how much movement there was in your seat? Was that a problem or normal?
How does a four wheel steering work?
The aventador has the best exhaust note I've ever heard.

very enjoyable vid.
Can the bring the stick and third peddle back?
did the gear box change ??
Aventador S has crackle pops now! Did you hear?! Amazing 😍😍
Sutcliffes driving/reviews are always a good watch.
Dam, how many special aventador models are there going to be?? Its still a single clutch transmission, same design with a kit, and same engine. We also have the aventador miura out so is it better than this one also???
Nothing has changed about the aventador in years. Its styling is the same as it first came out. Horsepower figures the same. Speaking of mclaren it has changed because it has improvements. At least its better than the 12c and the current models are better than the last. I guess this is the reason salomondarin will not get an aventador. I like them but almost every other year its another model. In the course of a little over a year the aventador miura, s, centenario and sv have been released. But oh well its just my thoughts.
noner come Lamborghini usually use a platform for 10 years plus and salmondrin has had two aventadors.
He already made a video on why he wont get another. As i stated "i guess this is the reason salomondarin will not get an aventador". So many special models of the aventador that its a joke. Cars based off the aventador with the engine and transmission aventador s, aventador miura, aventador sv, centenario, veneno, lp700-4, 50th anniversary, and the list goes on lol. The rear end of the s model doesn't look better to me.
noner come Well, it seems that you are not the targeted audience of this car anyway. Trying very hard to overlook the big improvements Lamborghini made in this iteration. Good luck finding another v12 modern Mid rear engine super car that's not a hybrid.
Regardless of future changes they may bring to the Aventador, I just hope they keep the dashboard/instrument control board. It is unique and gives that cockpit feel. It is one of the features that I would have time to overlook if I were to be choosing between a Ferrari 488 and the Aventador, although the 488 has plenty to consider as well including the Trunk space and hard top convertible.
Finally...a bit of beauty creeping back into the design at L.
What i have to do to get this?
Has it got double clutch?
Anybody know the music playing in the background
The sound of that V12 is spine tingling.
yeah, cool video. the multimedia system controls remind of course of the Audi A4, but doesn't matter - also the integration of all the car's ECUs remind of audi's canbus, which is a good thing. Keep it up, bull car!
Where was this filmed?
When I hear his voice first come on in the video, I knew it was going to be a good one.
Once I saw what this thing can pull off I was speachless when I grow up I must have the s
Could you do a review on some alcohol (ethanol) powered cars? Ive read that in Brazil 90% of cars drive on alcohol, and all major manufacturers make them.
Looking forward to seeing one of these.
No mention of the transmission not being dual clutch?
Will there be Aventador s roadster?
few bolts missing from the chairs subframe?
the question is, does this aventador has the patented active aerodynamic like on the huracan performante?
OMG I NEED THIS, LISTEN TO THAT SOUND!!
where was this shot? that building is an architectural masterpiece.
Has the look of the SV minus all the extra track gear... love it.
These lonely countryside roads in the intro.were made to enjoy driving. :)
So damn keen to see it on some tracks and see how fast it goes....and maybe with the new ECU setup UGR can have a go at it haha :D
Ok great but how does it compare to the Aventador SV I'm not sure where it sits in the line up.
this replaces the regular aventador, nothing complicated
you sir are on top of your game ....thank you GOD bless
The way he says 'Lamborghini' is kinda pissing me off lol
Why? he is saying it correctly.
Flibbertigibbet many people pronounce it as lamb-baghini, at least he's actually pronouncing the 'r'
Its Italian, its the americans that say it wrong ;)
Almost all amercians cant say the R correct.
we pronounce the 'r' just fine but he places a big inflection on the 'bor' syllable
Jordan Johnson What i mean is in europe we dont role the R softly like you do in america. Im sure you know what i mean...
where is 1:43 filmed at?? it kinda looks like computer generated
Downtime i also thought it was computer rendered but yeah it isn't!
Since car reviews are mostly paid for by manufacturers, I find the best way to assess a proper review is look at a new version like the Aventador S and hear them talk about the old model. Then you get an objective review.
Does this Lambo have single plate clutch still, or upgraded to double-clutch?
Henning Souz
single clutch,as its lighter plus u get that amazing race "jerk" while shifting
thnx
Muhammad Qasim Dilawari, that's not an amazing race jerk, that's called being a shit gearbox.
is it just a heavier SV?
This new model is surprisingly better than before. I expected it to be an old Aventador with a new and fancy body kit. But, Lambo has nailed it! Well done.
Damn that blue one looks phenomenal
Quavo used this video for his album promo lol
L A M B T A L K 🏎💨
We need a side by side review of the old and the new one.
beautiful as always...
What does it mean by 730 bhp at 8400 rpm? So it redlines at 8400 revs and once you put your foot all the down you get 730bhp?
When the engine is revving at 8400 rpm, it is producing its max output of 730 bhp. It redlines at 8500. Look at a rpm vs power graph, that may help you visualise how power is produced. Essentially, for a NA engine like this the power will build proportionally with rpm until it levels off at around 8400
I think "S" stands for Snake... by the look of that front end!! Awwsome😱
I actually ordered one and it should be here soon
What is the location at 1:43?
Very nice
Can someone give me a good advice about which car should I buy. Is it Aventador SV or the new Aventador S?
I need a honest and unbiased opinion about which is a better all around car performer (specially in daily driving).
Thanks and I appreciate in advance.
if you are looking for hardcore driving it's definitely going to be the SV which is also a 100kg's lighter. But for the money the S does its job rather well.
since you mention daily driving it is definitely the S, but since you are sure it is for daily driving why at all go in for a lambo.
OK but does it finally have a dct
It looks absolutely stunning!
So there will be Aventador S Roadster, Aventador S - SV, Aventador S - SV Roadster, or something like these, right?
Can't wait for Huracan Performante, apparently Lambo claims it's faster on a track than Aventador LP750 SV, which means it will go around Nurburgring in less than 7 minutes, staggering for a car with some 600hp.
derbigpr500, rumors are only rumors. That and the SV's unusually fast time is suspicious as hell.
Well considering there's a video proof of it I don't think there's anything suspicious about it.
I think the suspicion is more that the SV that was used in the lap wasn't stock, like one a customer can buy, but, that is just a rumor.
Why the hell is it still single clutch? The cheaper huracan has a dual clutch and this doesn't?
Does the Aventador S seem a little bit higher up than than the Aventador?
I can't afford skoda and I'm watching Aventador review!😂
The only company left not on the turbo bandwagon. However would love to see a v12 twin turbo 🙊
just love this sound😍😍
love the improved design adjustments
i'm really glad that other car companies have stepped up their car designs.... which gave us "casual" car guys options that are more affordable..... and are more daily driver friendly.
Wasn't also the lack of *A DOUBLE CLUTCH* what was hurting the car before? Does it have one now?
that is stunning wow !
do a drag race with the aventador s vs ferrari f12 tdf or a track race
Price???
one litter how many kilometer???
