lamborghini_aventador_s_02The Lamborghini Aventador S will be launched in India on March 3, 2017. The updated super car comes with a host of mechanical and styling upgrades.

The 6.5 litre V12 that powers the Lamborghini Aventador S makes 40 more horsepower than its predecessor. The car now makes  740 hp, with a 690 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. The engine now has a redline of 8500 rpm as opposed to 8350 rpm on the previous car. The Aventador S goes from 0 to 100 kph in just 2.9 seconds and has a top speed 350 kph. The V12 engine is mated to  lightweight Independent Shifting Rod (ISR) 7-speed gearbox that offers robotized gear shifts in up to 50 milliseconds. There are four driving modes available: STRADA, SPORT, CORSA and the new EGO mode. The new EGO mode allows the driver customize his own settings for traction, steering and suspension. The new exhaust system is 20% lighter than that of the outgoing model.

Interior features include a new TFT digital dashboard that can be customized according to the driver’s needs. Apple CarPlay is also standard.  The Lamborghini telemetry system is available as a option: It records lap times and track performance as well as trip data. Interiors can further be customized using Lamborghini’s Ad Personam customization program.

The Aventador S features a new four-wheel steering, that is adopted for the first time on a series production Lamborghini. The system provides improved agility at low and medium speeds and more stability at high speed.lamborghini_aventador_s_08On the exterior, the Lamborghini Aventador S features a more aggressively styled nose and longer front splitter that redirect airflows for better aerodynamic efficiency, improved engine cooling and increased cooling to the radiators. There are two air ducts in the side of the front bumper that reduce aerodynamic interference from the front tyres and optimize wake flow to the rear radiator.

The rear features a black diffuser that is also available in carbon fibre as an option. It features a number of vertical fins that amplify the airflow effects, reduce drag through pressure recovery and generate downforce. Three single exhaust pipes are located in the centre of the rear bumper. The active rear spoiler is movable in three positions depending on speed and drive select mode.
