00:05
Well, this is a wild one,
00:15
the Lamborghini Aventador Superveloce Yota,
00:18
or the SVJ as it's called.
00:20
It's the most extreme version
00:22
of Lamborghini's flagship Aventador.
00:24
It comes standard with a 760 horsepower V12,
00:28
all wheel drive, and a base price of over half a million.
00:32
Let's see how it did at our test track.
00:34
In race mode, the SVJ launches and upshifts incredibly hard,
00:40
reaching 60 in just 2.5 seconds.
00:43
The quarter mile comes in 10.3 seconds
00:45
at over 136 miles per hour.
00:48
There's 100.
00:49
(laughing)
00:51
Quarter mile.
00:55
In terms of braking, the pedal is stiff,
00:57
but it's still possible to modulate.
01:00
This yielded strong, super consistent braking performance.
01:04
Our best stop from 60 miles per hour was just 94 feet.
01:08
How does the speed freak handle?
01:09
Extremely well.
01:11
On the figure eight,
01:12
the Lamborghini is effective, but intimidating.
01:15
The suspension and brakes are super stiff,
01:17
and the gear shifts are violent.
01:19
All that yielded a stellar figure eight time
01:22
of just 22.5 seconds.
01:24
Other handling notes?
01:26
Well, there's mid corner understeer,
01:27
but the all wheel drive power fixes that on exit,
01:30
leading to glorious drifts.
01:32
Overall, the Lamborghini is blindingly fast,
01:37
with a daunting amount of power and grip.
01:40
And, fittingly for Lamborghini,
01:41
it looks as outrageous as it performs.
01:44
But, we'd caution those looking only
01:46
for Rodeo Drive street cred to steer clear of this menace.
01:49
It's just too hardcore.
