You’re looking at the Aventador SVJ, the ultimate V12 lamborghini  and currently the fastest production car around the mighty Nurburgring. Unveiled at the start of the Monterey car week, Lamborghini’s new flagship focuses on three things; aerodynamics, lightweight construction and increased power – and it features one of the biggest wings we’ve seen on a factory spec car.
'The challenge to Lamborghini designers and engineers was to improve the purest essence of the Lamborghini super sports car, drawing on every inspiration from a space ship to a jet fighter: all the most exceptional examples of super-fast, super-athletic, aerodynamic superiority,’ said Lamborghini CEO, Stefano Domenicali. ‘The Aventador SVJ takes another step into the future, shaping the potential for super sports car development.’
If the standard SVJ isn’t rare enough, Lamborghini will also be releasing a special SVJ 63 version of its new flagship at Pebble Beach (pictured). With a moniker designed to echo 1963 – the year the company was founded – the SVJ 63 features a limited colour and trim, and only 63 examples will be built. 

The engine and specs

We’ll move on to the SVJ’s ridiculous aerodynamic package later, but first it’s worth focusing on the V12 that beats within the ultimate Aventador. The engineers at Lamborghini have shoehorned-in a 12-cylinder 6.5-litre engine, good for 759bhp – and that’s all without forced induction, too; the SVJ is naturally-aspirated.
Lamborghini says the new powerplant gets peak brakehorsepower at 8,5000 rpm, and 531 ft lb of torque a little lower down at 6750rpm. When coupled with a dry weight of just 1525kg, the SVJ gets to 62mph from a standstill in just 2.8 seconds which put this beast among the quickest car in the world, and it’ll do double that speed in just 8.6 before topping out at over 217mph. All that is mated to a seven-speed ‘box, with power then shared between all four wheels. 
Of course, the engine is only part of the package, and the SVJ includes other significant upgrades over the ‘standard’ Aventador.

Handling tweaks

The SVJ hits its 1525kg target weight thanks to prolific use of carbon-fibre, a shortened more efficiecnt exhaust system and super-light ‘Nireo’ aluminum rims, while handling is improved further still by a range of tweaks designed to increase mechanical grip.
The Superveloce Jota uses both Lamborghini’s four-wheel steer and four-wheel drive and the SVJ’s suspension is much more rigid than before, too. Anti-roll bar stiffness has is up by 50% over the Aventador SV, while the entire system has been calibrated for increase performance on the track. The SVJ’s steering rack has also been fiddled with to provide a more direct driving experience.

And now, about the wing...

However, the SVJ owes its striking looks to an ongoing quest for increased aerodynamic performance. From an all-new ‘floating’ front splitter, to that huge rear-wing, the SVJ generates an extra 40% of downforce on each axle compared to the Aventador SV. And while 70% of the increase is attributed to above upper-body modifications, the addition 30% comes from less ostentatious devices.
Improved underbody aero is able to work airflow beneath the car harder, with front diffusers, a new rear diffuser and other furniture contributing adding to the remaining gains. 
The cost of such a car has been speculated to be nearly $1 million dollar but we thick has going to be more.

LAMBORGHNI URUS

Lamborghini  Urus Lungh./Largh./Alt. 511/202/164 cm Number of seats 5/4 Trunk 616 / 1,596 liters Warranty (years / km) 3 / Unlimited IN SUMMARY This large suv has sharp lines and an aggressive look like the coupes of the Italian house.  Features justified by the exciting performance of  Urus  not only on the asphalt (the horses are 650 and the steering axle promotes agility), but also on the ground.  The four-wheel drive system, air suspension (which can vary the distance of the car floor from the ground) and specific off-road driving programs (optional), allow you to move even in the off-road.  The mechanics of  Urus is shared with other models of the Volkswagen group (of which the Lamborghini is part), like the Audi Q7 and the Porsche Cayenne, but the tuning is specific to this model.  Modern (digital configurable equipment) and luxurious (many possibilities for personalization) the  Ur...

New Mercedes-AMG G 63 2018 review

MERCEDES-AMG G63 REVIEW Published: 06 September 2018 It’s has been 40 years since  Mercedes  the  G-Class . The basic shape has changed very little in that time, but for 2018 the rugged SUV has undergone its most significant transformation ever. While it might look quite familiar, this new G-Class gets a new body, chassis, steering, suspension, engines and gearbox, as well as new driver assistance systems. The subtly revised design retains most of the SUV’s iconic features, however, including the bonnet-top indicators, visible door hinges, boot-mounted spare tyre and protruding wheelarches. The boxy shape is similar, too, with a recognisably upright screen and characteristically square doors. Even so, bosses tell us just three external parts have been carried over: the washer jets, door handles and the protective cover for the spare wheel. The G-Wagen’s rich history hasn’t been neglected inside, though. Key features like the chrome switchgear and passe...
