A Lamborghini Aventador SVJ stretches its legs on an unrestricted autobahn section. These stretches have long been a paradise for automotive enthusiasts seeking to push their cars to the limit without fear of legal repercussions but traffic conditions can be difficult on these two lanes of highways where slow vehicles can popup up anytime.
AutoTopNL Youtber captured the Aventador SVJ on his adrenaline-fueled journey to chase the official top speed of 350km/h or 218MPH but it is not as easy as it sounds, even though it sounds pretty damn awesome.
Only 215MPH / 344 KMH
The SVG still has it
As the Aventador SVJ takes to the B-road leading to the Autobahn’s unrestricted section, the unmistakable roar of its sonorous V12 engine will give you a chill even on YouTube. Despite its age, the powerplant propels the car from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in a mere 2.8 seconds. The Aventador SVJ is still one of the fastest production cars in the world at par with some of its contemporary rivals like the McLaren 720S and the Ferrari SF90.
Autobahn Time
Once the open road stretches out before it, the Aventador SVJ wastes no time showcasing what it does best. Within seconds, it surges past 130 miles per hour, but that’s the easy part.
The sound of the V12 naturally aspirated engine that has been long glory for Lamborghini for years is an experience in its own. Each gear change becomes more captivating as triple digits speed put the driver at warp speed.
Easy 200MPH
Undeterred by the need to momentarily slow down, the YouTuber behind the wheel of the Aventador SVJ embarks on a mission to break the 200 miles per hour barrier. Skillfully maneuvering through traffic (and yes, you have a lot of that in Autobahn. Watch this video to find out), the Lamborghini quickly overtakes other vehicles, setting the stage for a thrilling attempt at reaching its maximum top speed.
Climbing to the top of the sixth gear, the Aventador SVJ surges to 175 miles per hour, with the exhaust resonating with a symphony of burbles. It becomes evident that the Aventador SVJ is poised to conquer the 200 miles per hour pretty easily.
200+ every digit counts
Preparing for the next challenge, the YouTuber positions the Aventador SVJ on a sweeping straightaway, maximizing the available stretch to unleash its full power. Engaging launch control, the V-12 beast hurtles forward, aggressively shifting through gears. With each gear change, the ferocity of the shifts diminishes, and the Aventador SVJ effortlessly surpasses 150 miles per hour. The sixth gear approaches its limit at a mind-boggling 215 miles per hour (a mere three miles per hour shy of the car’s top speed of 218 miles per hour). Astonishingly, the Aventador SVJ achieves this feat without utilizing its seventh gear, which I guess is for “fuel economy” only.
Conclusion
This SVJ’s top-speed run on the Autobahn is a testament to the incredible power, performance, and adrenaline-inducing experiences that high-performance supercars can deliver. As automotive enthusiasts around the world continue to be captivated by the Lamborghini brand and its relentless pursuit of top speed, the Aventador SVJ’s record-breaking feat on the Autobahn stands as a testament to the limitless potential of automotive engineering and the thrill of pushing the boundaries of speed. The SVJ still got it!
