Remember how Lamborghinis aren’t serious driver’s cars that can’t do anything well on a circuit at all? Remember? Yeah. The Aventador SV just lapped the Nurburgring in less than seven minutes. Craziness.
The Aventador is on Pirelli P-Zero Corsas, which aren’t even the most aggressive rubber that you can get from the Italian tire makes (that crown goes to the Trofeo R). And this car isn’t the understeering pig that many make Lamborghinis out to be. In fact, this is a lap that puts its lap time right up there with the McLaren P1 that has “broken seven minutes” and the 6:57 record that was set by the Porsche 918.
Not a record, but holy shit. That’s one fast Lambo. You’ll really appreciate balls when you see just how fast this lap is.
