Overview
Looking to make a statement and have a small fortune that you don't mind parting with? Perhaps the 2020 Lamborghini Aventador could be your next acquisition. This mid-engine V12 supercar is a monument to conspicuous consumption and otherworldly performance. After undergoing a substantial refresh last year, the Aventador returns mostly unchanged, though you can now get the higher-performing SVJ model as a convertible.
We're also very likely looking at the end of the line for the Aventador. It's been in production for nearly a decade and we expect to see a replacement model soon (possibly with a hybrid powertrain). That means if you're drawn to the Aventador's aesthetics and raucous 700-plus-horsepower engines, you might want to order yours now. It's unlikely that its successor will be any less flamboyant, especially since it will have to upstage other outrageous exotics from Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren and Aston Martin.
Which Aventador does Edmunds recommend?
There's no significant difference between the Aventador models except for price and bragging rights in your local Lambo club. We're certain most drivers will find the anything-but-standard Aventador S more than capable of turning heads and quickening your pulse. For most Lamborghini clients, the real decision comes down to the aesthetic choices. If there's one thing we'd add, it'd be the nose-lifting system (standard on the SVJ) that helps you avoid embarrassing driveway scrapes.
2020 Lamborghini Aventador models
The 2020 Lamborghini Aventador is a two-passenger supercar that is available as either a coupe or convertible. The removable hardtop panels fit in the front cargo area (frunk) when not in use. It is offered in two trim levels: Aventador S and Aventador SVJ (Super Veloce Jota). The Aventador S models are powered by a 6.5-liter V12 engine (730 horsepower, 509 lb-ft of torque), while SVJ models receive an output boost (759 hp, 531 lb-ft). These engines are paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels.
