There Is An All-new 'RING KING, And Here's The VIDEO To Prove It — Lamborghini's Aventador SVJ Laps The Ring FASTER Than Porsche's 911 GT2 RS

And just when you thought the Lamborghini Aventador was too old, too tired and too damn fat, it comes out swinging. It's official, folks. The upcoming Aventador SVJ is the all-new king of the Nürburgring.

Setting a 6:44:97 lap time around the world-famous German ring road, this bests the Porsche 911 GT2 RS by more than two seconds. You know Porsche has to be working on the next way it can top the SVJ already.

Rumored to feature upwards of 760 horsepower from its naturally aspirated V12, the SVJ will feature active aerodynamics and a diet that brings its total weight to around 3,300 pounds. Considering the standard Aventador is a heffer by supercar standards, this is a welcome sight.

Keep your eyes peeled for a 2018 Monterey Car Week debut. I suspect it will be first shown at Quail where most of the Italian exotica make their presence known.


Aventador SVJ laps the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 6:44:97 minutes under the formal scrutiny of Remak personnel who managed time and GPS certification using VBOX-Racelogic instrumentation. The new king of the 'Ring' driver was Marco Mapelli that managed the challenge with Lamborghini’s Research and Development team and the extensive tire support from Pirelli technicians and driver.

I would still rather have a 12 cylinder Normally Aspirated Ferrari - much easier to drive than either of these two - and clearly established on sight as a PRESTIGE ULTRA PERFORMANCE machine. THe Lambo and the Porsche have so much junk hanging off their bodies that you may as well add some rope and beer cans to the rear!!

These days, Ferraris are all show and no go. There are no current model Ferrari that can come close to either of these cars.

And the new Aston Martin DBS weighs in a porky 3732lbs. I have no idea why their platforms and cars are so heavy. They should have done a DBS that is a fatty and a different Superleggra model with no back seat, stripped down like they do at Ferrari. Then it might be able to challenge at The Ring too.

Of course given that the Kia Forte has already beaten the Aventador at the track, I don't know why Lamborghini bothers.

For all those fat cats that drive these supercars 25 MPH and never exceed this speed the least these exotic car makers could do is put plaque on the back that's says it held the ring record for X number of days.
