watching this now... so weird
You were like 14 when commented here
Love Harry Metcalfe's reviews. Always insightful. Always easy on the ear coupled with a wonderful laid back delivery. It's always all about the car with Harry. Not the ego.
looks like a fighter plane
or the batman tumbler
One of my friends bought a Gloss Black one recently, I had a ride and it was a mind fuck....that V12 still rings in my head
MISTER METCALFE we miss you!
700 Bullspower =)
I agree with you in almost everything you said, but you also said "when it comes to V12s you can not beat a Lamborghini". I think in terms of engineering Ferrari is a step ahead. The F12 Berlinetta is an example for that. But you're right: The sound is a bit artificial...
I remember watching this video like 11 years ago and being in awe of this absolute spaceship of a car.. how time flies 😮💨
how much is this thing worth?
400k USD
More than you can afford pal,
Ferrari
not many people who own one are going to drive at the track they are going to use the car to drop the panties of women...! that is the real test of a lambo does it drop the ladies panties? what is the deal with these auto testers anyway?
as we all learned, sportcars don't attract women, they attract tennager boys and men und supercars are attracting just much more of them and a few women. Girls just don't know enough about cars i guess.
I know this comment is 5 years old, but that's superficial bullshit.
I've driven many cars (including a Veyron) and this thing is a beast. The shift in Corsa was incredible and speed is totally useable. Trading in my LP640 soon
10 years later the Aventador is still the most awesome supercar. And 20 years from now the Aventador will be remembered as the last great supercar because everything after this will have boring electric asistance / all electric motors.
true
You know what I love about this guy and EVO in general; he doesn't sit there and bitch and moan like so many other people do. He sees the car for what it is, not for what it isn't. He doesn't whine about anything. He doesn't drone on about being torn, he either finds the lovable soul in each car, or he doesn't. Simple. But even if he doesn't, he still respects the car, he doesn't hate. Being rich couldn't have happened to a better auto enthusiast. I'd love for him to have his own show on TV.
Love this car. I really think this is the new ultimate supercar. Its the best looking, its amazing fast, and it handles like a proper supercar now. Truly Lamborghini's best yet.
Harry, Chris Harris and Jethro from Car and Driver are my favourite reviewers. I know it's going to be a good video when it has them in it.
Lamborghinis where always my favorite cars
I went to Fox Valley Motorcars today because I had to see the Lamborghini Aventador in person. It is out of this world. I am very impressed.It sounds like a fire breathing dragon. When I started it chills went up my spine. If you were not expecting the sound, It would scare you to death. It was NASA quick. You just think it and you were there. 1.6 G's.... I felt them today. I can hardly wait to get it out on the track.
THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS PRETTY BRUTAL!
2nd video from this chap, he brings a good balance of realism. Congratulations
over 10 years already. wow.
best car magazine in the world
Harry Metcalfe, such a good journalist, I could listen to him talk about his Pagani for HOURS.
What makes me really love the Aventador is that it's engine is naturally aspirated.
I want one over anything and live in an studio for the rest of my life!
You should have mentioned in the video "it's OK to be jealous" bc a day w/ the @lamborghini Aventador would be heaven!
it does, just not on the streets. if you're not an experienced driver on track. you wont feel a 9hp difference. a 9hp advantage on track adds up to about .1 secs per lap. which is the difference between pole position and starting on the 4th row. but im not arguing with your argument, as they say on topgear - 691hp which is 700 by topgear standards
@imTRANCEecs this lamborghini is completely designed and assembled in italy there's nothing more to say. it's born in italy all the components are designed by italian engineers.
to answer your question i think the honda and toyotas made in us are japanese because they are created in japan all their components are designed there.
Englishmen are always the best car reviewers (from an American) and I think that remaining calm while driving something so amazing is far more badass than screaming like a high school boy in daddy's '88 IROC.
great review as always evo.
Best looking Lamborghini ever, and the coolest one since the Countach.
Best looking rear end on any car ever.
@UrbanNinja27 Of course you tell me I'm wrong. It was designed by Filippo Perini who is Italian. The Lamborghini Diablo, Murciélago and Gallardo were designed by Luc Donckerwolke who is Belgian. It's actually the Audi Group that owns Lamborghini. VW is the parent company.
Not sure if it helps but:
The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 went on sale in Australia late 2011 with prices starting at $789,000.
I would seriously love this car
@WindmillStalker nailed it.....well put
Saw one today in white but with the black rims in La Jolla, CA. Looks amazing, was actually driving by it then saw it and immediately had to park and get a closer look. haha :) is definately one of the most amazing cars ive seen and ive seen a lot of expensive supercars bugatti, Koenigsegg, Ferraris, other lambos including reventon, zonda and many more. And the aventador was one of my faves.
This car is a pure work of art.
technology, beauty, style and power and everything Italian!
Only a DREAM!!! Beautiful car.......
@DrZense No he is not stuck in some chimney. He is driving an Aventador with spiked tyres in the north pole.
can you guys do more stuff with the aventador. i mean its probably the best car out right now and their are like 3 videos of it you should do drag races with it and see how it does compared with its rivals
there is a slot to plug the key into, near the steering column, which turns the electrics on and then it is able to turn the engine on
In my opinion, this is the "cream of the crop" when it comes to modern day super cars. Not to take anything away from Ferrari or Bugatti, or anything like that, but I fucking love this car.
This Aventador is an example of automotive brilliance.
When he changes gears it's epic
@wonderbreadkw basically its a way of changing gears sequentially, so when you change gears it's 1-2-3-4-5 and so on, you cannot "block change" (eg. change straight from gear 5 to gear 2) like you can with a conventional H pattern gear box. The right paddle behind the steering wheel changed the gears up, and the left one changes gears down. I can explain in greater detail if you need?
Great journalist with exceptional presentation skills. Knowledgeable on the vehicle specifications heritage, driving dynamics and features. Only the best have the privilege of driving these exotic dream cars. Good review :)
I found a video of this car in green on tmashcars channel! Makes it look so much better!!!!!
0:07 "the all new Lamborghini Aventador, which i was waitn' for" that rhymes
@FoxhoundJay Also, the 911 is smaller, lighter, and not nearly as wide so it's much easier to drive and park; it has historically proven reliability; it has a manual gearbox and ceramic brake option (GTR has neither); the interior quality is second to none; it's available as a convertible and in RWD or AWD; etc. And as far as less performance, I'll concede but it would still keep the GTR in sight on a winding road.
I think its pretty amazing that with this car they have produce a car that is lighter then the car it replaces, maintains the AWD, and yet produces more power then before. 3,475 pounds is an impressive weight given the huge engine and big power, remove the AWD and you may shave off some 200 pounds.
This guy is cool. I like his review. There's no need for any screaming when reviewing cars.
@nargarothfreak666
theres a key... he said that it was in the glove box. its just not a key like the your thinking. you keep it in your pocket or wherever and the car detects it and if its within a certain proximity of the car the motor will start
You are mistaken. Lotus has a wild history and their impact on F1 is epic. You can Google it. Also, Lotus cars have always been specialty cars but very fun and exotic nonetheless. The Esprit is a classic sports car that isnt cheap at all. The early ones were rough for sure but they got it right with later models. Who cares what Top Gear says? Thats a fun show but dont take it too seriously.
@Punjabi192 that's crazy what you are saying 15 years ago Ferrari was making 3.0L V10 naturally aspirated engine for F1 and the engine had 750hp. I am saying 3.5L V10 with 550 would be an amazing an unbeatable car.
I like how the aventador is more tectonic or tougher thatn its counterparts unlike the murceilago witch is basically one curved line.
Best looking Lamborghini since the Diablo, it's sublime.
One Of The Best Super cars in the World
new Lamborghini Aventador this is one i really been waiting for .. epic with the beat :D
This IS the best super sports car in the world. It has everything... a complete package. It's not overkill with the top speed... although it definitely has that... but Lambo's are notorious for their unwieldy handling. Not quite so much as the Vipers but Lambo's could never hold a candle to Ferrari in that dept. This, Aventador, changes that quite dramatically. And it looks better then ANY other supercar - IMO - on the market. It's just dramatic, futuristic, sexy yet angry - all bottled up!
It would be interesting to find out which is quicker around a track like Vallelunga, the Ferrari 458 or the Lamborghini Aventador. Maybe not a fair match but it would be cool to see :).
that is some really nice design!
Lamborghini Aventador sound is beautiful!
@Janusha And what is the problem with the fact the Challenger use a old Mercedes frame? It's not good anymore? The same with Holden. We use Holden frame, they use GM engines. So what is the big deal? I repeat, READ MY WORDS, japanese and european brands also do the same.
I do think his is possibly the best looking Lamborghini theyve made
I can't wait until stig drives this car :)
great review! :)
beautiful car, simply awesome. I can see it now, me jamming my techno music, crusing around the streets with these marvel.
@Janusha General statements here lol. Corvette like the Z06 or ZR1 have handbuilt engine and have very deep quality tests before the came out of the factory. I don't care if a Lambo, Porsche or Ferrari have a better plastic, full carbon part or even a "better technology" because at the end of line it DOESN'T make the car faster, more reliable and even more beautifull. I repeat, 300-400k for a Ferrari doesn't make the car better in general than a Corvette, Viper, Ford GT or a 911.
@phines9 What's pretty funny is that he's actually the founder of EVO Magazine!
This guy is really lucky he got to drive it! I want to drive it so bad.
Watching this 11 years later and replacement of this has also came out
Im gonna buy this car 4 years from now! ;)
did someone noticed the flashing tailights at 5:27?? awesome feature!!!
finally a lambo that doesnt absolutely suck
The best Supercar on sale today, full stop.
@dicksnko heres the thing, we may never know which is truly faster. There are only about 3 places in the world where you can find get a car like the veyron to its max speed. One of these places is owned by VW which will never let some other company test out a veyron beater.
well idk what kind of system they have in Australia , but here in the U.S. it costs $379,700...
Lol. The camera man during the Corsa gearchange... only Lamborghini xD
needless to say that Lamborghini is the most awesome super-exclusive car every existed
@christo11aa22bb The wheel instead of being connected straight to the suspension strut like in most cars, is connected to rods which "push" onto the suspension dampers like on a F1 car. It gives better suspension geometry for better handling but at the same time is complicated to design and get the placement of the dampers within the car's body right. It also reduces the "unsprung" weight of the car as the dampers are now part of car's body rather than the wheel and axles, gives better ride...
I loved the Murcielago's side mirrors :(
Damn this is hard I was wondering wat the Murcielago replacement would look like bc I loved it
Such a beautiful car!!!
@Punjabi192 You said car companies are getting rid of turboes? Hyundai are putting turboes into their cars. Ford put twin turboes into their Ford Taurus. Buick is putting turbo into their Buick Regal.
@nargarothfreak666 you CANT steal a lamborghini the electronic key HAS to be inside the car or the engine will NOT start there is a key sensor inside the car(inside the glovebox) and it can not be started unless the transmitor is inside the car(the little thing he was holding in his hand was the transmitor)
awesome felt every heart pounding moment this car is crazyyyy fast!!
@Janusha A little bit of teaching here. Some Ferrari and Lambo use GM electromagnetic ride (Corvette C5) and Getrag transmission simple techno in a way to make their car more reliable and sporty. And do you know what it's funny about that? What is funny is that Italians don't have any clue about that. They still think, that magnetic ride was a Lambo thing. They paid GM to use and modified them ;)
Lamborghini Design is just epic.
@superford500 agree on the looks and on looking behind :) , but the practical part I was talking about is that with mirrors mounted on doors aventador style give you a little more "window real estate" compared to murcielago/diablo ones. I know its not that big of a deal but it can come in handy.
Best SportsCar In the world.... i couldn´t agree more!
@Buttnut105 what comparison are you talking about? the gtr thrashes the porsche in performance and value
It isn't rounded up. The 700 in the name is a different measuring system called ps. But the horsepower is 691.
Best looking Lambo since the Miura!
@rotor13 Hinse my amazement that they don't at least offer a proper manual gear box, on the floor as a option. Not everyone is the same. That is like offering one color just because u believe it make the car look better.
@atzeneddi can't disagree with you there mate the older models were Italian though like diablo days if I'm not mistaken but they needed the help of the Germans to take Lamborghini to the next level.
James May and Richard Hammond said on Top Gear that it wasn't a proper Lamborghini but now Evo Magazine said it is. I'm confused now.
Awesome car dude!!!!
@bigphat200 thats your opinion.
Why are you faulting the natural progression of racing technology that is being applied, to, a street legal race car?
Why are ALL Super and Hyper cars utilize some sort of electronically shifted transmission? Maybe because ALL of those manufacturers actually BUILD their cars to race, and one of the race rules mandate a certain amount of cars be homologated for road use.
He's a good guy ! Very nice car
@bigphat200 you do realize the delay is programmed for Sport and Strada to lessen the shock done to the transmission right?
in Corsa mode is where the 50ms change happens, and it does so very violently
