Lamborghini’s V12 replacement for the ageing Murci-lago supercar, the Aventador is a big, low, squat and wide monster from the old school. Sporting a mid-mounted 6.5-litre V12, a 0-62mph time under three seconds and a 217mph top speed, this is the meanest car in Lamborghini’s current range, built using a carbon-fiber monocoque and draped with aluminum and CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) panels. There’s a four-wheel drive, bespoke ISR 7spd paddle shift transmission and bodywork that scares small children. We love it dearly.
