Recently, we featured a Maserati MC12, a hypercar from 2004 strutting its stuff out on a frozen lake in St. Moritz, Switzerland.
It seems that YouTuber TheTFJJ is pretty well-traveled, as this time he or she is over in the UK at a car meet, swapping the glitzy mountain resort for an overcast day at a barn – but the cars are world-class.
In the short video, two Lamborghini Aventador supercars are on show, both very similar; but there are a few differences between the two if you look close enough.
Below we’ll see if we can tell the two cars apart and how they sound out in the real world.
The Lamborghini Aventador SV And SVJ Steal The Show
Here in the parking lot are not one but two Lamborghini Aventadors - an SV in red and an SVJ in black.
The first one to leave, the SV sounds great as it maneuvers to exit the club and accelerates away pretty calmly, with no full-throttle on display so far.
We can only guess the name of the owner is 'OLLY' judging from the personalized registration plate, the European supercar appears to have no problem attracting attention from the assembled crowd.
Lamborghini’s Aventador series comes in many flavors but the Superveloce and Superveloce Jota are both impressive machines – power comes in the form of a 6.5-liter V12 in both cars but the later SVJ, a more extreme version, has 759 hp over the SV’s 740 hp and torque is higher at 531 lb-ft compared to 509 lb-ft in the SV.
For Presence, Sound, And Huge Power The Lamborghini SVJ Is King
The camera passes the black SVJ up close, allowing us a closer inspection of the body panels, the honeycomb intake in front of the rear wheels, and the huge brake discs, the latter of which are bright orange.
This isn’t a car to help you blend into any crowd and nor is it for the thrifty buyer; the starting price for a new Aventador SVJ today will set you back around $500,000 which might make you want to keep it in a garage as an investment, but this car is dirty and is driving as it should.
Lamborghini’s 7-speed automatic transmission sometimes gets a bad rap, but there is no denying that the sound the car makes as it exits the parking lot and speeds full throttle down the British country road is nothing short of magical.
It sounds just like an F1 car, and perhaps it should: this is a hardcore racing car for the road, and we’re glad someone has decided to let it stretch its legs.
