At speeds up to 8500 rpm, the 12-cylinder sings through a retuned exhaust that wails louder at full wood and cracks harder on overrun.

The added power comes from tuning tweaks to the variable-valve-timing system and the variable intake manifold, plus another 150 rpm at the top end. So does the 6.5-liter V-12, now turned up another 39 horsepower to 730. Every crack, bump, and pebble that perturbs the short-travel, pushrod suspension reminds you that you’re driving an unapologetic brute.
None of those modes would be described as a “comfort” setting. Strada, Sport, and Corsa driving modes are joined by the new Ego setting, a customizable position in which the powertrain, steering, suspension, and stability-control modes can be individually configured. This marks Lambo’s first use of supplier BWI’s third-generation magnetorheological dampers that split the older design’s single electromagnetic coil into two smaller coils for faster reaction times. An actively variable steering ratio (for the front wheels) and magnetorheological dampers are standard. Lamborghini claims the hardware adds just 13 pounds and that the additional mass is entirely offset by weight savings elsewhere. Within a roughly 15-mph window around the 80-mph mark, the rear wheels transition to steering in phase with the fronts-up to 3.0 degrees-to enhance stability.
The rear end wriggles under hard braking, the steering issues more immediate commands, and the throttle wants to be tickled just so through the corners. It all adds up to an Aventador that is more sensitive and better attuned to the driver’s inputs. With all-wheel drive and stickier, redesigned Pirelli P Zero rubber, the big Lambo resists power-on oversteer, but lift off the throttle at the cornering limit and the Aventador slowly rotates into a drift. The rear steering also makes the car slightly more neutral, although it doesn’t eliminate the Aventador’s natural proclivity for understeer. It chops the amount of steering input required from the driver, a fact that’s especially prominent in hairpin curves and in parking-lot maneuvers, where it makes the difference between rolling your wrists and crossing your arms. The newfound dexterity stems from a rear-wheel steering system that can nudge the rear wheels up to 1.5 degrees in the opposite direction of the fronts during low-speed maneuvers. As we lapped Circuit Ricardo Tormo and attacked the writhing roads southwest of the city, Avicii’s infective rhythms continued to bounce through our brain, because Lambo’s biggest bull has learned to dance.
#2017 lamborghini models update
Still, this update is much more than just fascias and interior features. The 2017 Lamborghini Aventador S essentially amounts to a mid-cycle refresh of the Aventador LP700-4 that it replaces this spring at a starting price of $424,845. Powered by equal parts emotion and stonking V-12, the Aventador S’s flaws animate its persona just as much as its best qualities. Well after the Bentley SUV, likely in 2016, for between $150,000 and $200,000.It’s a fitting warm-up to a car that also is quintessentially Italian. With its LM002 history, Lamborghini at least can shake off the brand-dilution charges that plagued Porsche's similarly motivated expansion into more utilitarian vehicles. Waiting three months to replace a busted mirror won't fly when it's on one of the household's primary cars. Elsewhere, Lamborghini and its marble-floored dealerships need to prepare for higher volumes. If China has another revolution, expect the country's rich to be dragged behind their Uruses and the market to go, um, soft. The upcoming Bentley SUV, BMW X6 M, Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged, Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG, Porsche Cayenne Turbo. Lamborghini's trucklet will use the second generation of the Volkswagen Group's modular-longitudinal platform, used by most Audi passenger cars and expected to underlie the next generations of the Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg.Īn Audi-derived 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V-8 is probable a hybrid variation and a diesel V-8 are possible. It was always about extravagance, but less confined to particular segments than, say, Ferrari. It makes sense that Lamborghini brings out an SUV. It also fits the brand's rich-hipster image as well as its history as a purveyor of leather-lined tanks to the Saudi elite. Lamborghini wants the Urus to become its highest-volume model and its beachhead in China, which is clamoring for platinum-plated SUVs.
The angular, angry styling seems bent on turning urban roads into battlefields, but peasants in their Civics and Cavaliers may simply flee in terror. Also, the only SUV by an exotic sports-car brand-at least for now. Not counting all the Diablos wrapped around trees, the Urus is Lamborghini's second off-roader after the monstrous LM002 from the 1980s.
