It’s no secret that Lamborghini is looking to increase its global sales with help from the upcoming 2017 Lamborghini Urus SUV, but, until the brand’s second utility vehicle arrives later this decade, Sant’Agata Bolognese has an important milestone to celebrate. Specifically, the Italians have just built the 5,000th example of the Aventador, the companies range-topping supercar. With Aventador production up to nearly five units a day, Lambo assembled 5,000 V-12-powered models in a little over four and a half years, a feat that seemed impossible a decade ago.
The 5,000th Aventador to roll out of the factory was a Roadster version painted in Rosso Bia and destined for the Italian market. As usual, it received a naturally aspirated, 6.5-liter V-12 engine rated at 690 horsepower and 508 pound-feet of torque. Besides being impressively powerful, the Aventador is one of the quickest supercars available on the market. The sprint from 0 to 60 mph is achieved in 2.9 seconds, while the quarter-mile takes 10.6 seconds at 137 mph. The Aventador’s top speed is estimated at a mind-boggling 217 mph.
Launched to replace the Murcielago in 2011, the Aventador will probably remain in production until at least 2019. The supercar is available in both coupe and roadster body styles, with limited-production SuperVeloce (SV) variants introduced in 2015.
