If you buy a Lamborghini Aventador, you're not just buying a car. You're buying a completely new lifestyle. You'd want to be though as the retail price starts in the seven hundred thousands.

This is what they call a hypercar. It sits at the very top of the food chain in regards to factory performance, power and speed. The Aventador is the core flagship model in Lamborghini's current range, however, buyers that want more power, flamboyance, and exclusivity can opt for the Superveloce version in coupe or roadster form.

In this 'regular' LP700-4 version there's a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 churning out 515kW of goosebump-inducing inspiration, and 690Nm of tarmac-tearing torque. The mid-mounted unit is connected to a seven-speed automated manual transmission that Lamborghini calls an Independent Shifting Rod transmission (more on that below), sending force through an all-wheel drive system.

Being the flagship model it does come with a flagship price. You'll need to fork out $761,500 and then some for on-road costs and local taxes. This stunning Mars red example is fitted with a few options that take the price to $839,900 (excluding on-roads).
