Lamborghini Aventador

Sharper and more powerful than before. That’s the new Lamborghini Aventador S for you. We drove it on road and track in Spain to see if it is scarier or friendlier than before.

I’d first met the Aventador at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia, a few years back.

The signature of these companies has always been their roaring V12 engines married to the very pinnacle of automotive engineering. Keeping with its aversion to green technology, Lamborghini has introduced a mid-life update to the flagship Aventador in the form of Aventador S and Ferrari will soon be introducing the successor of the F12 Berlinetta - the 812 Superfast at the Geneva Motor Show. With the new V12 powered weapons in their armoury, let's see how these Italian giants fare against one another (on paper). To make things more interesting, let's throw in the V12 tourer from Britain as well - the Aston Martin Vanquish.
