Two Very Special Aventadors

A couple of weeks back my friend texted me saying that his buddy was coming to Geneva with two Aventadors and staying for a couple of days at Le Richemond. The two Aventadors in question were the Aventador SV Roadster and the Aventador Miura edition. Both looked and sounded amazing as one might expect, but seeing both of them together was truly epic.







The Aventador LP 750-4 SV Roadster is powered by a V12 putting out 750 horsepower and is all wheel drive. The other main changes that are noticeable are cosmetic ones, like wheels, aerodynamics (Wing, diffuser, etc.) and a new exhaust system, although I prefer the look of the one on the non SV Aventadors more concerning the exhaust. Yet one must remember that, according to Lamborghini, the SV lapped the Nürburgring in under 7 minutes and only two minutes slower than the Porsche 918 Spyder. That is quite an impressive feat.




The Aventador Miura edition, of which only 50 have been built, is a Homage to the old Lamborghini Miura and therefore has a special color scheme and a bit of an upgraded engine, along with a cooler badge on the side. It is also powered by a V12, but this one "only" produces 700 horsepower, compared to the SV. Needless to say it's still a lot!!




In the end it was awesome to seeing both of these cars and I enjoyed taking pictures and just chatting cars with other car enthusiasts, but I wouldn't buy an Aventador. It has an awesome presence on the streets and the looks are really bedroom wall pin up poster, but in that car category I would choose the Ferrari F12. I just prefer it concerning looks and sound and so on, especially when you compare the SV with the F12 TDF. What car of the two do you guys prefer?

Mansory 6x6

So this monday I was on my way to the city with some friends when we happened to pass by the Bentley dealership here in Geneva. As usual we didn't think much of it, because it's always the same thing: Bentaygas, Continentals and so on. Not that these aren't nice cars, but it's nothing out of the ordinary anymore for Geneva. Yet what was standing next to the dealership did catch our attention, the Mansory 6x6! This one was finished in grey and looked absolutely amazing. It is just such a menacing car with an extreme road presence. No question about it, this car is in my top 3 dream garage!

Here is a link to the post I already did on the 6x6, that was the one of Greg B. when he was in Geneva:http://carsofgeneva.blogspot.ch/2016/02/the-future-of-this-blog-and-epic-g63-6x6.html
