This is the new Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, the most extreme version of Lambo"s big-boy supercar yet. It"s a car we already know to some degree it"s already claimed the N rburgring Nordschleife record, and we"ve also driven it but this is our first glimpse of the SVJ without any confuddling camouflage. And doesn"t it look punchy? Lamborghini has tacitly admitted that it draws on "every inspiration from a space ship to a jet fighter", citing them as "the most exceptional examples of super-fast, super-athletic, aerodynamic superiority". Has Lambo relocated its design office to Area 51? We missed the memo As is the way, much of its design has been led by aerodynamics, with a new version of Lambo"s ALA" active aero tech. As a result, the SVJ hikes up downforce by 40 per cent over the old Aventador SV, but with a much higher proportion at the front of the car to make the handling much sweeter. Indeed, it proved a lot more confidence-inspiring when we drove it, with the addition of four-wheel steering also assisting.
