SVJ vs SV Head scramble
Discussion
Howdy. Been following Venti V12 prices and notice that now the SVJ is nearing its predecessor the SV in price bracket. This I find slightly baffling .. I’m told it’s all down to production no’s ?? In Coupé guise 600 for SV and 900 for the SVJ. In my mind, that ain’t too much a difference. Maybe it is for the collector fraternity??
To me, what is different are the cars. Surely the SVJ is an infinitely superior machine re faster, harder, handling plus aero etc.
Is the one now poor value whilst the other a relative bargain????
A tech question. I notice the SVJ is listed at some 60mm wider than the SV. Is this girth due to the larger air intakes or at the lower point, the side skirts?? Doesn’t look like there are actual new panels on this model..

Interesting comments.
Tbh I do think some of the purity in design is hammered in the SVJ re aero bits and bobs.
Can’t quite decide if it looks awesome as a result or not - Downforce vs style essence and aesthetic flow.. Think, particularly those side gills are maybe a step too far/wide. Is this at the point that the SVJ technically measures wider than the SV??
I’ve read on numerous occasions the S is all you need. V fast and nimble due to 4ws.

Must say, gearbox wouldn’t be on my mind. Drove a 15 plate and thought it was fine. Ok not our now accepted normal slush box, but I thought it needed some thought and driver input, as does the rest of this immense machine.
Recently drove a pals 360 F1 and was surprised how much fun it was. Timing change, lifting and generally driver input necessary to get things propelling smoothly and quickly.
As suggested, the SV and again the SVJ apparently have updated software thus improving the shift speed and smoothness

A fantastic, in depth and obviously personal account and experience. Many thanks.
Now I understand my head scratcher re SV vs SVJ values. Maybe we will never know how many SVJ’s are built ?? Still doesn’t detract how utterly fabulous they are - and for me, represent value in the super/hyper car segment.

Again, invaluable owner thoughts giving proper insight. Thank you
Think I’m clearer now and can understand how the market may hold preference towards the SV.
Lower build so rarer. Zilch difference in speed. Naff all difference in handling. Looks are subjective but the crowd seem to prefer the SV’s purer shape. Personally, I’m in the SVJ camp on this. Love a bit of spoiler spoiler
Maybe if the SVJ is the last hairy, clean lunged V12 its place In history is cemented. If the rumours are true re unexpectedly ‘one more last Aventador’ - not sure where it will sit ??

Think there maybe one last current Venti Incarnation - but not SV/SVJ hard core
Broken record but I couldn’t work out why most of the SVJ road testers kept mentioning the cars crazy width. Ok an Aventador isn’t small but once on the move it’s not a concern. More so if your used to peddling a van or commercial stuff.
Why the recent whinging ?? Cause it’s dam near 70mm wider again. That’s nuts - in a nutty good way !!

Well, reading some of the previous posts, I feel sorry for some of the current SVJ owners who may of been led up the garden path on believing it was a limited status Lambo. Mind, saying that, apparently total U.K. SVJ’s is circa 130 ish. - that’s very small volume in anyone’s book
Besides, raving depreciation isn’t all bad news. It gives us mere mortals hope.
One day one day!
