The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Coupe. Simply put, it is elegant and aggressive all at the same time. It is power and precision. Its unnecessary and totally necessary. Most importantly it is everything you could want from a supercar. It comes standard with 691 horsepower and 509 lb-ft of torque. Weighing in at a mere 3,472 lbs, that comes out to be 5 lbs per hp. That is only .8 lbs heavier than the Bugatti Veyron. So the performance numbers are quite similar. The Aventador screams to 60 in 2.9 seconds and will continue on to 217 mph. All that power is sourced from a 6.5 litre V-12. Another feature of this car is AWD. Some will argue that RWD is the only acceptable drive train for a performance vehicle. However, if you are not Sebastian Vettel, controlling this much power can be a bit tricky. When accelerating out of a parking lot to impress your friends, ending up in a ditch, usually isn’t that impressive. So if you want to stay on the road AWD will definitely be your friend. Personally, one of my favorite features of this car is the start button. You must lift up this red cover that simulates lifting up a cover of a missile launch button in an F-16. That is a perfectly accurate process because one must use caution when getting behind the wheel of this road-bound missile. One last note, I cannot wait until Underground Racing gets their hands on one of these. It will undoubtedly be the greatest car they ever build.
