The Aventador saga may be officially over, with Lamborghini dropping it to make room for the Revuelto. The latter is an electrified flagship supercar capable of impressive performance, which stays true to the naturally aspirated V12 legacy. However, to some, the Aventador is a far more appealing proposal. After all, it has no electric trickery.
A small part of this crowd is sometimes ready to blow a small fortune to become an Aventador owner. The supercar pictured above is not for sale, as it recently changed hands, but it boasts a great specification and a few aftermarket touches, proving that less is often more in the tuning world – especially when the ride in question does not need any mods.
Smiling for the camera in Atlanta, Georgia, the supercar celebrated its 15 minutes of fame on social media. Roadshow International shared these pictures earlier this week, revealing at the same time that it has some black optics, smoked lighting units, paint protection, and glossy black powder-coated wheels, a few modifications that further bring out its exoticness.
Elsewhere, this Lamborghini Aventador SVJ sports a white paint finish, proving yet again that supercars don't need a flashy hue to stand out, as they can do that with a more traditional color. In this case, it features a few black elements all around, and the Italian flag motif decorates its body. The wheels were wrapped in rubber band tires, and we can see the red brake calipers through them.

While the exterior looks somewhat restrained, for a vehicle in this class, it is very lively once you open the doors. The cockpit has a lot of red suede wrapped around the seats, center console, lower parts of the dashboard, steering wheel, and other elements. There are a few black touches on the inside, too, as well as red stitching for contrast on various black components and the usual amount of carbon fiber trim.
Want to talk about the powertrain? Well, the tuning fairy hasn't touched the V12 motor. As a result, you are still looking at the stock output and torque, which are rated at 759 horsepower (770 ps/566 kW) and 531 pound-feet (720 Nm). The naturally aspirated engine, which is paired with a seven-speed automatic gearbox and a gen-four Haldex all-wheel drive system, enables 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) in 2.8 seconds. The supercar has a dry weight of 3,362 pounds (1,525 kg) and a 217+ mph (350+ kph) top speed.
One must have extremely deep pockets to afford a Lamborghini Aventador, let alone an SVJ, as it is a dream ride that's always ready to hit the local racetrack for some fun laps. But if you ever win the lottery and buy such a supercar, would you tune it or leave it completely stock?
