Ask anyone what they think of when the name ‘Lamborghini’ comes to mind and they will instantly draw pictures of a long, low-rise, V12, mid-engined car. Since then, it has been this configuration on which the Italian automaker San’tagata has built its reputation and, as of 2011, the Aventador was the model that would carry this flagship impression.
Fast forward nine years and the Aventador celebrates an important milestone to add to its already impressive resume: 10,000 units sold.
The Aventador was based on the outgoing Murcielago with a number of improvements, such as a monocoque chassis and its crowning 6.5-liter V12 with 700 hp. Since its launch, there have been countless updates and further development to keep the Aventador as aggressive and eye-catching as a proper Lamborghini should be, and it all culminates in its latest track-oriented model: the Aventador SVJ. Obviously, it’s this model that the 10,000th Aventador would be based on.
The SuperVeloce Jota is the sum of all of Lamborghini’s racing experience in one powerful track weapon. It comes equipped with the ALA (Aerodinamica Lam Attiva) active aerodynamic system to propel the SVJ to a lap time of 6 minutes and 44 seconds around the Nurburgring Nordschliefe. The 10,000th Aventador SVJ is painted in Grigio (gray) with red and black accents and will be heading to its owner in Thailand.
Considering that Lamborghini started making the Aventador nine years ago, the fact that they were able to make 10,000 copies of the supercar is a feat in itself. Combined with its recent achievement of making the 10,000th Urus just two months ago, it looks like Lamborghini will continue to make raging bulls for the world to enjoy.
