2016 Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SuperVeloce

This 2016 Aventador LP 750-4 SuperVeloce is the car Lamborghini built to put the V12 flagship on a diet and a sharper edge: 750 bhp from the 6.5-litre naturally aspirated engine, a claimed 2.8 seconds to 62 mph and a 217 mph top speed. It is finished in Blu Sideris over a black Nero leather and Alcantara interior with SV stitching, a combination that suits the car's more purposeful character better than the usual loud palette.

The specification leans heavily into carbon. Carbon bucket seats, the carbon interior skin package, carbon engine bay T-piece and X-frame, and a transparent engine cover are all fitted, along with the sports exhaust, Sensonum audio, navigation, a rear camera and the magnetic suspension with the lifting system. Rosso springs, red calipers, the large SV logo and gloss black 20/21-inch Dianthus wheels with black centre locks add contrast against the blue. The whole body is wrapped in paint protection film.

The car shows 11,700 miles, has had two owners and comes with a comprehensive service history from new. It is VAT qualifying, which will matter to some buyers, and is offered at £494,990. With the SV commanding a clear premium over the standard Aventador and production of the naturally aspirated V12 now finished, a low-mileage, well-optioned example like this has strong collector appeal.
