[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

The newest Lamborghini has been on a whirlwind trip debuting at a series of private parties around the world.

The 2018 Lamborghini Aventador S recently stole the spotlight at Lamborghini Uptown Toronto, where a small group of prospective customers and media were able to see the V12 supercar for the first time. Lamborghini Uptown Toronto, also known as Grand Touring Automobiles, is the only official dealership for the prestigious Italian brand in Ontario.

The Aventador S is the next-generation model of the successful supercar, and besides a revised new look that is somehow even more aggressive than the last one, the Lamborghini now has all the latest technology and a renewed focus on aerodynamics.

“The technology is incredible,” said Doug Brown, general manager of Automobil Lamborghini Canada, referring to the Aventador S’s new four-wheel steering system. “This is the first time this system has been used in a production Lamborghini.” The system provides better stability at high speeds and increased maneuverability at low speeds. The suspension and all driving modes have been recalibrated to work seamlessly with the new four-wheel steering, and a new customizable driving mode called Ego has been added.

The monstrous naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 has also been tweaked for higher output, gaining a 40-horsepower increase over the previous Aventador for a total of 740 hp and 509 pound-feet of torque. The engine also gains a higher redline, a better torque curve, and stop/start and cylinder deactivation for better fuel economy.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
