Lambo ending 2016 with a bang! 740bhp of N/A 6.5L V12 goodness.

"The new Lamborghini Aventador S is characterized by new aerodynamic design, redeveloped suspension, increased power and new driving dynamics. The 'S' is the suffix of previous enhanced Lamborghini models and defines a new benchmark for the V12 Lamborghini.

"This is the next generation Aventador as well as the expression of new technological and performance milestones in super sports car development," says Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stefano Domenicali. "The Aventador S is visionary design, cutting-edge technology and driving dynamics in pure harmony, and elevates the concept of super sports cars to a new level."

"The Lamborghini Aventador's naturally aspirated twelve cylinder, 6.5 liter engine outputs an additional 40 hp over its predecessor, to a maximum 740 hp, with a 690 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. To achieve the power increase, both VVT (Variable Valve Timing) and VIS (Variable Intake System) have been optimized in order to obtain an enriched torque curve. Additionally, the maximum engine revs have been increased from 8,350 to 8,500 rpm.

A dry weight of just 1,575 kg provides a weight-to-power ratio of just 2.13 kg/hp. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h is reached in 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of 350 km/h. Transmission is provided by Lamborghini's lightweight Independent Shifting Rod (ISR) 7-speed shifting system, providing robotized gear shifts in up to 50 milliseconds."

Say hello to the new Lamborghini Aventador S...

The new Lamborghini Aventador S has been revealed, essentially serving as a mid-cycle refresh comprising some exterior design tweaks, four-wheel steering and a dollop of extra power.

The Italian automaker says the exterior design changes have been affected for “maximum aerodynamic efficiency”. A more aggressive nose and longer front splitter, for instance, serve to redirect airflow for better aerodynamics, improved engine cooling and increased cooling to the radiators.

Two air ducts in the side of the front bumper, meanwhile, reduce aerodynamic interference from the front tyres. The rear of the Aventador S is dominated by a black diffuser (also available in carbon-fibre), characterised by a handful of vertical fins. Three single exhaust outlets exit through the rear bumper.

The active rear wing features three positions, depending on speed and drive select mode. Thanks to these various changes, Lamborghini claims that front downforce has been improved by “more than 130%”.

“When the wing is in its optimum position the overall efficiency at high downforce is improved by over 50%, and in low drag by more than 400% compared to the previous model,” the automaker claims.

The Aventador S is Lamborghini’s first production model to gain four-wheel steering, which it says increases agility and enhances lateral control.

So, what about that extra power? Well, the naturally aspirated 6,5-litre V12 now makes 544 kW (an increase of around 30 kW), while peak torque of 690 N.m is unchanged. This significant urge is transferred to all four wheels via an independent shifting rod seven-speed automatic transmission.

The sprint from standstill to 100 km/h is reached in a claimed 2,9 seconds, before the Aventador S runs out of puff at 350 km/h. Lamborghini also says the engine’s redline has been raised from 8 350 r/min to 8 500 r/min.

The Aventador S also adopts a new exhaust system that is more than 20% lighter than its predecessor. The result is “an enhanced sound and resonance” from the V12, says Lamborghini. The Aventador S sits on a new, specially developed set of Pirelli P Zero tyres, while carbon ceramic brakes are standard equipment.

Man it looks sweet .

But why is everyone going Iphone "S" on everything
 
Looks very similar to the outgoing model. Sharper, but more of the same really.

I guess it's to be expected with VW as the parent company
 
Going to order mine now and make sure Lamborghini JHB sign an exclusivity contract unlike some sucky people.
