Aventador’s beating heart retains its 6.5-liter displacement, but, thanks to more aggressive valve timing and intake tuning, now puts out an extra 39 horsepower for a total of 730. That means Lamborghini’s flagship 12-cylinder monster finally produces more power than Dodge’s 707-hp Hellcat V-8, which seems like an automotive wrong that needed righting.The Aventador S also benefits from a slightly higher, 8500-rpm redline, all the better to experience the aural splendor of the sonorous Italian V-12. The seven-speed automated manual transmission and all-wheel-drive system carry over. The Aventador’s Achilles’ heel remains the automated manual transmission that delivers painfully long pauses between the violent lurches that accompany every upshift. Lamborghini might have included a dual-clutch automatic gearbox as part of this update, except that there’s no room for a wider transmission.
