Many of us had a poster of a supercar on our bedroom wall at some point during our childhood.
And for most people it was a V12-powered Lamborghini.
But what does that poster look like for the younger generations?
Do they really aspire for the latest generation of hybrid and electric cars?
I'm not so convinced.
Lucky Lamborghini still does a V12-powered supercar.
And it has just been tweaked.
This is the Aventador S.
Lamborghini has effectively given the establishment a swift Italian backhand with the Aventador
S, by forgoing any modern hybrid or electric technology in favour of internal combustion
muscle.
But, make no mistake, this new model remains an out and out technological force.
Fitted with four-wheel steering, better aero efficiency, and supposedly more feeling at
the limit than its predecessor.
And, at $789 000 before it's expensive options list, it has the price tag to match.
Now, the Aventador has stayed largely unchanged since its introduction in 2011.
But that doesn't mean you'd overlook any of the changes for the 2017 update.
This thing now has 544 kilowatts of power, and 690 Newton meters of torque.
Those numbers help the Aventador to accelerate to 100 Ks in just 2.9 seconds.
Onwards to 200 Ks in 8,8 seconds.
And help it reach a top speed ceiling of 350 kilometres per hour.
Very impressive numbers indeed.
The delivery of all that power is pretty brutal.
It's almost like someone's sitting behind you with a sledgehammer ready to nudge you
in the back.
The sound and the power from this V12 engine is just amazing.
This thing reaches peak power at 8 400 rpm, just shy of the cut-out at 8 500.
So, you can imagine, she likes to sing.
Less impressive is the Aventador's automatic transmission.
Lamborghini has persisted with its clunky, independent shift rod gearbox.
And, not surprisingly, it yields mixed results.
The Aventador has an older style, independent shift rod transmission.
So, it's basically like a robotised manual.
And, to be frank, it's a little bit bullish.
It just smashes you in the back between gear changes.
It isn't anywhere near as intuitive as newer style dual-clutch transmissions.
While our time at the wheel was limited by time and conditions, it is evident that Lamborghini
has completed its objective.
Turning what was a slightly unwieldy beast into a formidable track weapon.
And while the Aventador S isn't perfect, it remains one of the most enjoyable and satisfying
supercars to drive on track, even if it isn't the most cutting edge.
Well there's no doubt about it, even after just a handful of laps here at a wet Phillip
Island Circuit, it's evident that the Aventador S is much more useable than before.
And while it might not be the first choice for performance enthusiasts, I think this
thing still stands up as an icon of its own.
Especially with that V12 engine.
If I had my choice, it would still be the poster that I'd have on the bedroom wall.
