Overview

Competing in the midsize coupe segment, the 2018 Lamborghini Aventador S coupe is a direct competitor to the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta Coupe. Meanwhile, the Aston Martin DB11 and the McLaren 570GT are also potential rivals with less powerful engines. With standalone trim, the Aventador S starts off at an MSRP of $417,650. It is offered with a 6.5L V12 engine and a 7-speed automated-manual transmission, producing 729 horsepower and 507 lb-ft of torque. Through this powertrain, the Aventador S manages a 0-60 of 2.9 seconds and a combined fuel economy of 11 MPG.

Buying Advice

Considering its price tag, the Aventador has a very limited number of standard features. However, with limitless options, interior themes, and exterior colors, you have the freedom to customize as you desire. That said, you can consider the garage door opener, heated power front seats, yellow brake calipers, and Visibility and Light Package during the purchase.
