If there’s a pecking order among the elite of the supercar elite, the Lamborghini Aventador may be in its own category. You wouldn’t expect anything less than superiority from a 690-horsepower wonder that accelerates from 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds and completes a standing quarter-mile in 10.4 seconds.

The driving experience surprises, particularly on a winding country road with your foot well into the accelerator. Part of the Lamborghini’s signature look is its drastic width. It adds a welcomed, pleasing challenge. The Aventador has precise steering on its composed chassis and thus drives pleasingly smaller than its monolithic presence.
