The 2020 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster Is a $650,000 Scream Machine - One Take

The 2020 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster is one of the fastest top-down motoring experiences on the planet. All-but identical to the SVJ Coupe, the 770 HP naturally-aspirated cruise missile capable of a ridiculous 6:44 Nurburgring time (a production car record last year) except for a bit of extra weight, the SVJ roadster is one of a kind, simultaneously leading its class in performance and remaining semi-analog in a sea of digital contemporaries. And the sound simply cannot be missed.

Lamborghini North America provided the vehicle, insurance, a night in a hotel, and 2 meals in exchange for this review.

"it's no slouch" yeah no shit even when standing still it looks like it's going faster than my car

[randy]

I'm happy Lambo's keeping the NA motors alive

[technom]

Thank God people like matt exist to have such terrible jobs to do this for us. I'm sure he'd rather be digging a ditch.

The thing that shocked me about the couple was how brutal it was under full throttle but composed for normal use. No doubt, this is the best all-round performing Aventador. I can only imagine the heightened sensation in the topless form 😎

6:00 INCREDIBLE TALENT!!
he’s able to point with his finger the front aerodynamics features all while being stuck driving behind a car. Crazy!

[andrewengland]

4000 pounds and doing 6:40 around the ring. That’s quite a machine.

Nothing like the wind blowing through your hair and that glorious sound of the Lamborghini V12

[graygamingps]

I'm 6'4, I dont even fit into an R8. Looks like I'm screwed for 95% of supercars. My dream is an Aston so hopefully I'll be ok in one of those

[ndlt.reifukai]

It’s unlawful for 1 man to wield such power.

With winners barely recognized publicly (if at all), iffy descriptions/details on prizes, and finishing dates of the drawings totally changing at the end of the giveaways, I'm not giving any money to Omaze again. On another note, hopefully it's just a coincidence, but I've had 2 separate debit/credit cards being shut down a while after being used on their website. Cool car though.

I’m still surprised they were able to get a single clutch transmission to shift that fast. It’s no PDK, but it’s still damn fast. They somehow were able to get that ancient 9 year old single clutch transmission to drill keep up with more modern DCTs. Crazy.

[shshh-fweh]

Correction.

The street car that came closest to the glorious sound of old F1 machines was a Lexus LFA.

I love youtubers who make it simple and easy to skip the ads. Thanks matt!

[stefan-stocksmadesimple]

The sound of these V12's during launch control is insane

[gunsandcommissions]

I’m a car and driver subscriber but I recently subscribed to Road and track because of you Matt - make sure they see this, because it’s the truth

[michaelcorleone]

My dad has the 2008 gallardo spyder 5.0L. We love the single clutch. It’s more true to the raw Lamborghini experience.

[briancenti]

this is why i subscribe to this channel. that SVJ is one of the most gorgeous cars i have ever seen. i do not care what is quicker or faster, to me, this is the ultimate supercar. thanks again for bringing it like you guys always do.
Matt always delivers as can be seen watching this. he is one cool guy.

[jonotwist]

Oooh a Lambo onetake to couple with a morning coffee and poo. Thank you TST.

FYI- No need to shift manually in launch mode, even if in manual. Launch overrides.
