As far the engine is concerned, the Lamborghini Aventador S was thought to feature the same V12 from the Centenario giving it a power boost. That however isn’t the case. It instead gets a 6.5-liter V12 naturally aspirated engine that makes 740 hp and 509 lb-ft. The engine now revs to 8500 rpm compared to 8350 rpm red line on the old version.

Chassis, Suspension and Drivetrain

New to the model is LDVA- short for Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Attiva/Lamborghini Active Vehicle Dynamics. Handling characteristics have been revised thanks to a Lamborghini Dynamic Steering (LDA) and Lamborghin Rear-wheel Steering (LRS). The 4 Active Suspension can be configured to suit different driving scenarios courtesy of magneto-rheological front and rear shocks. Also, being a top-of-the-line Lambo, it has all-wheel drive. A new customized EGO driving mode gives the driver more control over the dynamics of the vehicle.

The interior of the Lamborghini Aventador S can be customized to personal preferences of the customer. The new S-trim allows customers to choose from a variety of materials and shades including something called Carbon Skin.
