An image alleging to be of a high performance Lambroghini Aventador’s interior have been disseminated to the internet. I know. What are the odds? The picture shows a gauge cluster with the name Aventador SVJ emblazoned upon it.
While the meaning of the initialism is unclear, a look at the brand’s history can, at least, provide us with an educated guess.
Many past Lambos have sported the SV appendage. The letters stand for Super Veloce, which is Italian for super fast.
The J, though, is less common but not altogether unprecedented. Previous Lamborghinis have sported the Jota moniker, whose name comes from brand development driver Bob Wallace’s attempt to race in Appendix J racing in the ‘70s.
The name was attached to a Miura for Wallace’s purposes and then affixed to a Diablo in the ‘90s.
Like the Lambos Jota that preceded the Aventador, we expect the SVJ to be a hardcore performer utilizing the same physics defying technology that propelled the Huracan Performante to record breaking speeds around the Nurburgring.
That car was the first to use Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva, a series of flaps contained within the Huracan’s body that allowed it redirect air over or around aerodynamic elements to make the car slipperier or stickier based on its needs.
Launched in 2011 and named after a bull that fought in 1993, the Avnetador uses a 6.5-liter V12 that produces around 700 hp. It can, as is the case in the Centenario, produce up to 750 hp, though—a usefully large figure were Lamborghini trying to make the SVJ legendary.
