The Lamborghini Aventador gets its first revision after six years, and Andre Lam takes to the tracks in Valencia to find out how the new Aventador S hits all the right buttons.

Bull's Eye

I AM AT THE CIRCUIT RICARDO Tormo in Valencia, Spain at the invitation of Lamborghini to test-drive its new Aventador S. The motorsport racetrack is wet from an early morning downpour. My fellow invitees and I will be doing our rounds in groups of four cars each time, led by a Lamborghini driving instructor in a 750hp Aventador Superveloce. In comparison, the Aventador S may have lesser horsepower—740hp to be exact—from its naturally aspirated V12 engine, but it is no slouch.

As we put the supercars into action on the tarmac, the wind from the speed and heat from our tyres help to dry up the track. It is fortunate that we get to experience the car in this condition as it reinforces its all-wheel drive capabilities and superb electronic stability controls, enabling us to push the car to its limits on the wet surface without careening into the crash barriers.

As the track dries up even more, I find the Aventador S keeping up with the Aventador Superveloce at most corners and straight roads as both boast an incredible top speed of 350km/h and can cross the 100km/h mark in under 3sec.
