Want to unleash an aural assault of 740 V-12 horses on your skull? Watch the fastest, lightest, most bonkers version of Lamborghini’s Aventador absolutely devour the Nürburgring with a lap time that appears to slice under the seven-minute barrier.
-Naturally, this isn’t just any Aventador. It’s the Aventador LP750-4 Superveloce, the lightweight, aero-intensive, carbon-fiber-to-the-max screamer with 50 more horses and 110 fewer pounds than the off-the-rack model. Lamborghini will only build 600 of them, priced at a kiss under $500,000—a cool hundred grand dearer than the “regular” version.
-But if you want the fastest Lambo at any cost, the extra stacks might be well worth it. Because Lamborghini just posted this in-car video purporting to show the SV attacking the Nürburgring with a scorching lap time of 6:59.73. For reference, that’s more than nine seconds faster than the Nissan GT-R NISMO, and a smidge less than three seconds behind the all-conquering Porsche 918 Spyder. This video is a little bit choppy to watch, but hell, we’d still love it if it was nothing but audio.

Credit the extra horsepower, the lighter curb weight, and the super-sticky Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires that were being tested on the Aventador SV. And, of course, the driver, who as of this writing remains nameless. This feat of wheelmanship qualifies as heroic.
