350km/h upgraded Lamborghini Aventador all set to storm the road

LAMBORGHINI has launched the upgraded version of its Aventador flagship model with improved aerodynamics, four-wheel steering system, enhanced suspension and electronics and a beefed-up engine.
The Aventador S, which retails in Europe for 281,555 Euros (Bt10 million) not including taxes, is powered by a naturally-aspirated V12 engine developing 740 horsepower, capable of catapulting the car from 0-100km/h in 2.9 seconds. The top speed is claimed to be 350km/h.
Transmission is provided by Lamborghini’s lightweight Independent Shifting Rod (ISR) 7-speed system, providing “robotised gear shifts in up to 50 milliseconds”.
“The Aventador S is visionary design, cutting-edge technology and driving dynamics in pure harmony,and elevates the concept of super sports cars to a new level,” said Automobili Lamborghini chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stefano Domenicali.
The Aventador S design results in significantly enhanced aerodynamic performance. Its front downforce has been improved by more than 130 per cent over the previous Aventador coupé. When the wing is in its optimum position the overall efficiency at high downforce is improved by more than 50 per cent, and in low drag by over 400 per cent compared to the previous model.
Enhanced lateral control comes from a new four-wheel steering, adopted for the first time on a series production Lamborghini. The system provides improved agility at low and medium speeds and more stability at high speed. At low speeds, the rear wheels face in opposite direction to the steering angle, thereby virtually reducing the wheelbase. With less steering wheel angle required, the Aventador S is more agile with a reduced turning radius, ensuring higher performance in curves and making it easy to manoeuvre in town and at low speeds.
Conversely at higher speeds both front and rear wheels share the same steering angle, thus virtually extending the wheelbase, providing increased stability and optimising the responsiveness of the car.
The Aventador S allows the driver to select between four different driving modes: Strada, Sport, Corsa and the new EGO mode, which influence the behaviour of traction (engine, gearbox, 4WD), steering (LRS, LDS, Servotronic) and suspension (LMS). Strada stands for maximum comfort and daily use. Sport provides a sporty, rear-wheel drive feel and Corsa is suitable for maximum track performance.EGO is the new driving mode option. This provides several additional and individual set-up profiles,customisable by the driver, selecting his preferred criteria for traction, steering and suspension within the Strada, Sport and Corsa settings.
