Ultra Fast and Rare ‘Ring Busting Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Debut

Only 900 versions of the (currently) fastest production car to lap the world famous Nurburgring will be made, as the extremely limited Lamborghini Aventador SVJ and even rarer SVJ 63 debut today at the 2018 Monterey Car Week.

The SVJ 63 commemorates the year that Lamborghini was founded, and only 63 of these models will be sold, each one sporting extremely noticeable exterior graphics and extra carbon fiber.

The rest of the SVJs sport some pretty important features, and a V12 engine is plonked right in the middle of it all, making 770 hp at an insane 8,500 rpm and 530 pound-feet of torque. It means this car hits 62 MPH in just 2.8 seconds, which is insane when you think about it. Keep pressing and it’ll hit a top speed of 217 MPH.

The Aventador SVJ is about more than just that naturally aspirated engine, it’s about aerodynamics and grip. New active aero technology allows for air-flow to be directed in specific directions over the vehicle, improving downforce and the car can go from full downforce to none in just 500 milliseconds. The car features Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires, or optional track ready  P Zero Trofeo R rubber.

So many parts of the Aventador SVJ have been beefed up, stiffened or retuned for improved responsiveness, including stiffer anti-roll bars, retuned rear-wheel steering for better control while braking, 3-percent more torque going to the rear axles and a higher damping force range.

It’s not a cheap car, at $517,770 before delivery, but it’ll surely be a fair price to pay to the right person who wants an ultra-rare Lambo that can achieve 6:44.97 around the “Green Hell” of the Nurburgring.

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 ...
