So, you own a base Lamborghini Aventador, but you believe it needs some additional tweaking to bring out its best potential. Well, the raging bull has the answer-meet the Lamborghini Aventador S! The more potent Aventador iteration now comes with new features that previously didn't exist on the base model-more power, 4 wheel steering and Ego driving mode.
Let's start with power shall we? If you're wary of the current trend in downsizing and turbocharging, then good news for you. Lamborghini refrains from resorting to turbo and reducing the engine capacity (phew). The good ol' 6.5 litre naturally aspirated V12 soldiers on, now outputting 740 hp (+40 hp from the base model) to Haldex Generation IV all wheel drive via the firm's 7 speed Independent Shifting Rod (ISR) transmission. The extra power comes from the adjustment made to the engine's Variable Valve Timing and Variable Intake System, plus boosting maximum rev from 8350 rpm to 8500 rpm.
If your Aventador has made you feel like pulling your hair while searching for parking space or it's downright scary at speed, the Aventador S adds the first ever 4 wheel steering on a production Lamborghini. The system works by slightly turning the rear wheels in the opposite direction of the front wheels at low speed (the car will turn tighter) and in the same direction as the front wheels at high speed (stabilises the car).
Next up is the new driving mode dubbed as Ego. Adding to the already existing Strada, Sport and Corsa mode, Ego basically allows you to personalise the car's suspension and engine settings to suit your preferences. Great for strutting your 'machoness'.
If you're a type who craves power, razor sharp handling and a more personalised driving experience, the new Aventador S is a perfect bull for you!
