Overview

Competing in the midsize coupe segment, the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador Coupe is a direct competitor to less expensive and less powerful rivals such as the Bentley Continental Supersports Coupe, the McLaren MP4-12C Coupe, and the Ferrari 458 Italia Coupe. With standalone trim, the Aventador starts off at an MSRP of $387,000. It is offered with a 6.5L V12 engine and a 7-speed automated manual transmission, producing 691 horsepower and 509 lb-ft of torque. Through this powertrain, the Aventador manages a 0-60 of 2.9 seconds and a combined fuel economy of 13 MPG.

Buying Advice

Despite a price tag crossing the $300K mark, the 2012 Aventador Coupe is stingy when it comes to standard amenities. Hence, you will have to explore endless customization options. We recommend the heated front seats with power adjustability, garage door opener, and the Lamborghini sound system.
