The new Lamborghini Avendator S will be officially launched in India on March 3, 2017, barely a couple of months after its global unveiling last year in December. The new Aventador S promises to be a sharper driving device than its predecessor, courtesy updates to its engine, new chassis tuning and revised aerodynamics.
The new S model inherits the iconic, naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine from the Aventador family, but it has been tuned to deliver 40 HP more than the outgoing model, uplifting the output to 740 HP. The 7-speed automated manual transmission has been retained, along with the AWD system.
What’s new is the 4 Wheel Steering system (Lamborghini Rear-wheel Steering or LRS) that’s come from the Centenario and should sharpen up the dynamics. Also, there’s a brand new EGO customised driving mode, new Lamborghini Dynamic Steering (LDS) and Lamborghini Magneto-rheological suspension (LMS).

Tipping the scales at 1,575 kg (dry), the same as the outgoing model, the Aventador S completes the 0 to 100 km/h sprint in just 2.9 seconds, and can reach a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph). Its power-to-weight ratio, on the other hand, has been improved, and it now sits at 2.13 kg/hp.
Stylistically, the S moniker adds more aggressively sculpted, as well as more aerodynamic front and rear bumpers. Compared to the first Aventador, the new design elements provide an increase of 130% in front downforce, while the new side air vents reduce turbulence, claiming to improve cooling and increasing efficiency.
The interiors now offer the choice of having new materials such as Carbon Skin in the cabin, and to have certain parts of the carbon body left exposed. The instrument panel with interactive TFT LCD display now comes with completely redesigned graphics, while the whole cabin’s ambience can now be enhanced with a new LED lighting system.
