But do those revisions make the Aventador S a match for supercar rivals such as the McLaren 720S and the Ferrari 488GTB?

So, would you have the Aventador S, or the Ferrari 812 Superfast below? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Rt5Pamh1ABQ.html

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 : )

@MrWannaberich 6 лет назад

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,

@M4X1 Год назад

I think the aventador's gearbox should be like it was originally. Gives you a punch on every upshift, an exciting kick.

@drakeignis4322 7 лет назад

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.

@carsaregood911 7 лет назад

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

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

@PedroTRamos1 6 лет назад

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.

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.

@MrGB1999 4 года назад

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?

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.

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.

@mashoutposse 7 лет назад

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.

Ok, so you can spec your Aventador S with carbon bucket seats and writhe with pain after a half hour drive. This is s a GT car; it's not a circuit car; it's not supposed to have supportive bucket seats. You just don't get it, do you ? The Aventador actually has EXCELLENT long-distance seats.

@dennisoverdiep2737 5 лет назад

i think in character the 720S is not even a match to the Aventador. Lamborghini is so good in creating drama in their cars .in performance wise I think the Aventador is to old compared to the 720S. however if you combined the two cars, you would have a 812 Superfast right ?.... all 3 are Insane and beautiful afterall.

@alejandromonterroso7709 4 года назад

Evry supercar has a different goal, the acentador s is make you laugh, smile, drink fuel and be savage .My thoughts (never have driven one) its not a rival for the 812 becuase ,are different cars with differents ideas.
