Default The Aventador tested.

The Aventador is proof God loves us and wants us to strive to better ourselves.
Gentlemen, I humbly offer you the Lamborghini Aventador.

I may be too late but I must warn you that after having watched the clip, you will become mad with desire and envy.

Watched it last night and was drooling for sure.

However as much as I love top gear they need to make up their minds on ****. The mclaren was to refined and so was the lambo, but yet when a car can't properly go around the track they bitch too.

This, the MP4-12C, and the 458 I'm confused on them bitching about the cars being too refined (like someone else said), yet a car like the ZR1 gets put down because it's too hard to control...? Either way, I like how all the brands are trying to make the fastest car they can, I just wish Ford would come out with another GT.

Wow. You could have kept that to yourself and saved yourself some embarassment.

The best way I can explain it is: Perfection can be boring because you now the result from the beginning, it is the pursuit of perfection and the work it takes to get there that makes things exciting and fun. There is an increased sense of accomplishment when you the driver are more involved and there are less gadgets and gimmicks to assist you in your goals. IMHO

No matter what it does or doesn't do, Lambos look like bad MFers.....and I'd be proud to own one.
