Bull number fourteen died in 1881 in the bullfighting arena of Zaragoza. He was called Aventador and was known for exceptional courage. A century and a half later, in 2011, Lamborghini chose that same name for the successor to the Murciélago. The Aventador (LP700-4, 2011-2017) broke with the Bizzarrini V12: an entirely new 6.5-litre V12 producing 700 hp, mounted in a carbon monocoque chassis (a first for a regular Lamborghini V12), coupled to an ISR (Independent Shifting Rod) gearbox and all-wheel drive. Production continued to 2022 in eleven principal variants: LP700-4 Coupé and Roadster (2011-2017), the LP750-4 SuperVeloce (2015-2017, 600 cars Coupé + 500 Roadster), LP780-4 Ultimae (2021-2022, 350 Coupé + 250 Roadster) and limited specifications such as Centenario (40 cars, 2016), Veneno (3 roadworthy cars + 4 Roadster, 2013-2014) and SVJ (900 Coupé + 800 Roadster, 2018-2019). The Aventador is the last regular production Lamborghini with a naturally aspirated V12 without hybrid; the Revuelto (2023) followed with PHEV architecture.
The Lamborghini Aventador was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2011 as the successor to the Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce. It was the first entirely new V12 Lamborghini since 2001 and introduced substantial technical evolutions: a new L539 6.5-litre V12 producing 700 hp at 8,250 rpm, a carbon monocoque chassis (built by Boeing subcontractors in Italy), and the iconic scissor doors that have been a Lamborghini signature since the Countach. The gearbox was notable and controversial: an Independent Shifting Rod (ISR) seven-speed single-clutch transaxle, which offered fast shifts but with a unique rough character that was polarising. Production of the LP700-4 amounted to more than 7,000 units to 2017.
The Aventador LP750-4 SuperVeloce was unveiled in 2015 as the hardcore specification. The engine was uprated to 750 hp and weight reduced by 50 kg through more extensive carbon packs, lighter wheels, stripped interior, and carbon aero elements. The SV also brought the first introduction of Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Attiva (LDVA), an integrated electronic chassis system. SV production amounted to around 600 coupé and 500 roadster examples, making it substantially scarcer than the regular LP700-4. For collectors the SV in factory Ad Personam colour is one of the most sought-after regular Aventadors.
The Aventador SVJ was unveiled in July 2018 and immediately afterwards set a Nürburgring record for road cars of 6:44.97, at the time the fastest production car time ever. The car produced 770 hp from the same 6.5-litre V12 and received Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva 2.0 (ALA 2.0): an active aerodynamics system that electronically manages airflow around the body. Production was limited to 900 coupé and 800 roadster examples. For collectors the SVJ marks the peak of Aventador performance; SVJ examples in rare factory Ad Personam colours sit in their own high price tier.
The Aventador Ultimae was unveiled in July 2021 as the closing model of the Aventador line. Production was strictly limited to 350 coupé and 250 roadster examples as a farewell to the naturally aspirated V12 Lamborghini. The engine produced 780 hp from the 6.5-litre V12 (combined LP750-4 SV engine with LP740-4 S chassis), and the specification combined elements of both the SV and the S in a definitive farewell package. For collectors the Ultimae, with its limited production and historical role (last pure NA V12 Lamborghini), is one of the most highly regarded Aventadors; production closed in September 2022 with a closing hand-painted build plate.
The Aventador line has seen a steadily rising valuation curve since 2018, particularly for SV, SVJ, and Ultimae specifications in factory Ad Personam colour. The LP700-4 in original condition with proven Lamborghini service history and low mileage sits consistently in a strong price class in 2025; SV and SVJ specifications sit substantially higher. The Ultimae has traded consistently above original list since launch due to its historical role as the closing NA V12 Lamborghini. For sellers this means a well-documented Aventador with proven Lamborghini service history, original specification, and factory build sheet attracts strong international interest. The buyer you want is a Lamborghini collector who values the naturally aspirated V12 culture and knows the specific Aventador specification.
LP700-4 (2011-2017), LP750-4 SV (2015-2017), LP740-4 S (2016-2021), LP770-4 SVJ (2018-2020, limited to 900 coupé + 800 roadster), LP780-4 Ultimae (2021-2022, limited to 350 coupé + 250 roadster as farewell). Each specification has its own collector class and price tier.
The Aventador was delivered as coupé and roadster (removable carbon roof panels). For collector-oriented sales the roadster is generally scarcer and can command a substantial premium, particularly on SV and SVJ specifications. For regular specifications the coupé generally sells faster.
For Aventador collectors, factory Ad Personam colours (Lamborghini's PTS equivalent), rare colours such as Giallo Orion, Verde Mantis, Arancio Argos, and Blu Sideris strongly drive price. carbon packs exterior and interior, Forged Composite packages, and leather specification reinforce value.
Aventador service is specialist work due to the single-clutch ISR transaxle (seven-speed), the L539 V12 engine, and the full carbon monocoque. Service at a Lamborghini dealer or recognised specialist is essential; major service every two years including clutch inspection, engine-out service for head gaskets where necessary.
For the SVJ (900 coupé + 800 roadster) and Ultimae (350 coupé + 250 roadster) the production number matters to collectors. Early chassis numbers are more highly valued. Keep the factory build sheet and documentation of production position.
The Aventador has a full carbon monocoque with aluminium subframes. Document bodywork condition, carbon panel state, any stone chips or damage history. For SVJ and SV with aero package: confirm originality of all aero elements.
Note: These factors may influence buyer interest. Value depends on many factors.
LP700-4, LP750-4 SV, LP740-4 S, LP770-4 SVJ, LP780-4 Ultimae, or special specification. Coupé or Roadster. Model year and chassis number. For SVJ and Ultimae: production number and factory build plate. For regular models: factory order configuration if available.
All invoices from a Lamborghini dealer or recognised specialist. The L539 V12 and ISR transaxle require specialist knowledge: clutch status, head gaskets, transaxle oil, cooling system. Major service every two years; document all completed work. General-garage invoices carry considerably less weight.
Paint colour with factory code, Ad Personam (Lamborghini PTS equivalent) confirmation if applicable, carbon packs exterior and interior, Forged Composite elements, leather specification with embroidery. Original Ad Personam order configuration substantially raises value.
The ISR transaxle uses a single-clutch that is expensive to replace at high wear or after misuse. Document clutch wear report from Lamborghini, any clutch renewal, and keep invoices. For LP700-4 with higher mileage this is an important selling point.
Photos of carbon monocoque, exterior panels (carbon and aluminium), any stone chips or minor damage, aero elements (SV and SVJ with ALA active aerodynamics). Underbody photos and proof of undamaged monocoque are essential.
Photos of build plate with production number (1-900 for SVJ coupé, 1-800 for SVJ roadster, 1-350 for Ultimae coupé, 1-250 for Ultimae roadster). For collector-oriented sales early chassis numbers and documentation are crucial.
Number of previous owners, mileage, any trackday participation, geographic distribution. For collector-oriented sales, low mileage and original condition are generally strongly value-driving; for regular LP700-4 specifications an average mileage with full service history is acceptable.
