Lamborghini Aventador S is a beefed up version of the Lamborghini Aventador. At the heart of the new 'raging bull' is a naturally-aspirated V12 6.5-litre engine, tuned to generate 740bhp. Lamborghini also claims engine's maximum revs have been increased to 8,500rpm from 8,350rpm. While the torque remains the same at 690Nm, the Aventador S can sprint from 0- 100kmph in just 2.9 sec before hitting a top speed of 350 kmph. Isn't that just unbelievably awesome?
