Video: Aventador Through Shop Window

Not that kind of video, the window was open...

---

PHers aren't the sort of folk to loiter aimlessly by the roadside watching somebody move a supercar into a shop window - well, you wouldn't have time for starters, what with all that 'busy busy busy' stuff you've got going.

But have no fear, you can loiter here instead and we won't tell a soul while you oggle at (and listen to) 8 and half minutes of Lamborghini Aventador footage courtesy of YouTube, and a bloke in Berlin with a video camera who's obviously got far more time on his hands than you.

The best looking Lambo post Diablo in my opinion. The rear end has a modern take on 70's styling, it looks insane, as a Lambo should

[Comfortably Dumb]

I think I'm in love

I just done a car porn wee!

[James Dean]

How loud is that idle? Fantastic!

Ahhh, damn it! I was just about to eat....

The back end is terrifying - much less watered down than the Murcielago. More evocative of the countach and diablo. Like a proper evil lambo should be! But am I the only person who thinks that the front fender arrangement looks a bit like an old man with front teeth missing??? It just doesn't work. But with 700 brake, nobody's gonna be looking at the front I suppose.

I was thinking, nice arse, shame about the face myself.

Oh well, I suppose I'm in the minority that think its badly proportioned (the rear and the slatted window), and too angular. The side view is nice and I like the rear vents.

But, I think its going to age quickly.

Agreed that the Murci was a bit too conservative but at least it had flowing lines.

And yes, I thought the Revention was god awful.

WOW It sounds angry when it starts up!!!!

[MagicMonkey]

If that car was a person then I'd want to breed with it up the exhaust pipe!!

Er, yes I suppose I could have put it simpler!

YE totally agree! They've really moved the styling game on IMHO!

Fantastic car, evokes the same feelings when I first saw the Countach at Earls Court in 1973. The driver needs some lessons though, too much dry steering..!

[KrissJ]

Wow! I think the Aventador looks incredible and now I've heard it, it just gets better. If it drives as well as it looks and sounds then it should be an absolute cracker of a car.

[chazwozza]

REALLY like this, but does anybody else think that it looks like a Gallardo, the LP570 I think, which has taken too many steroids? Either way I do love it!

[Nick Beef]

My new favourite car now.. just perfect..

[TomJackUK]

Had a good listen to one being tested over here a few weeks ago, sounded absolutely incredible. Epic car. I would not have fancied reversing that into the showroom...!

1.56 In....best bit

Where was that? I bet it made for a very fun and excitable day.

How did they get that nose past health and safety??
