will the aventador trounce all......
Discussion
well, tomorrow on top gear the stig will take the aventador around the track....
many a post will no doubt arise following the show.....
so i thought i'd start a poll pre-show.....
the mp4/12c time was impressive, but the aventador is a hypercar...
who thinks the aventador will beat the bugatti SS and mp4/12c time.....
i don;t think it will, but i bloody well hope it does....
don;t think the aventador will be running trick tires thats why...

Lambo have been e-mailing customers with a reminder to watch this so must be good:
Aventador LP700-4 on Top Gear, Sunday 31st July – 8pm BBC2
Some say... the latest breed of V12 Lamborghini has been waiting impatiently for this challenge to arrive....
Yes, we all know of the Aventador’s unrivalled 0-60mph performance in the super car arena.
But how will it perform at Gambon corner, and Hammerhead?
Don’t miss the Aventador LP700-4 on Top Gear this Sunday at 8pm

Seriously, journalists (and I use the term loosely when considering Hammond and May) have different thought processes to people who actually buy or aspire to own cars. When spending your own money on a car, as opposed to just driving press demo models, do you really want something that may kill you?! No, you want (or at least I do) a car that is usable and straightforward to drive, that will make you feel great knowing what's attached to your steering wheel. In other words, you want a stunning Lambo Aventador that drives as good as it looks and sounds. Also, note to Hammond - the vast majority of non-enthusiasts in the UK will think you're a prick just because you're driving a Lambo, and it doesn't matter if it's a hairy-handling Diablo or an Aventador that will eclipse it in every single way.
Deeply impressive time on the TG track, and it looked utterly planted and secure through all the corners. (Is it just me, or is the new Stig also probably a much better driver than Ben Collins?)

No the MP4-12C is faster round the TG track!
What a great day this is turning out to be for McLaren
Still looks poo.No the MP4-12C is faster round the TG track!

The aventador did look very stable on every corner, all the haze from exhaust and engine on upshifts. I like it again now.

Exactly. The thrill of this car for me would be the way it corners so composed. Imagine the forces you are feeling as it just goes around like its on rails.Deeply impressive time on the TG track, and it looked utterly planted and secure through all the corners.

I don't want a car that wags its tail around at the slightest misstake on the throttle. I want a car I can be confident in giving it stick. ( also I want to overtake without worrying about hedges and trees)

Looks like hell on earth but is it just a very very very fast Audi at heart?
I think that's what James and Hamster were getting at?
It's a very very very fast Lamborghini at heart , with German build quality granted . Lamborghini designed V12 engine though with a space age carbon fiber chassis designed by Lamborghini , and the styling thank God is back to Lamborghini style mentalist looks . It drives less mental than the looks unlike Lambo's of old . Priority NOW ! is the handling as Hammond says . Hence the quote " it won't kill you " . Am I sad , no . Am I in awe and insanely jealous . fI think that's what James and Hamster were getting at?
k yeah ! It smoked the Bugatti Veyron SS on the test track , it's killed it dead for looks , it'll be a bigger crowd puller than the dumpy Veyron SS . It looks as if it handles better . It's a hell of a lot cheaper . Lamborghini has delivered .
The only place a Veyron SS will come first is on a boring piece of Autobahn . Gassing Station | Supercar General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
