With the all-wheel-steering, you can get away with far more around tight turns and twists than ever before. It also means that the car will behave as if it’s under the hand of a much more experienced driver than (may be) currently driving it. The result is that you get the benefits of having two cars in one-a shorter Aventador S for cornering and a longer one for straight shots. Conversely, on a straightaway at high speeds with all four wheels pointed forward, the car is at its longest (188.86 inches), which lends to greater stability for the carbon-fiber monocoque in a straight line. This is a good thing-short wheelbases are more nimble than long wheelbases. That means on corners the rear wheels can turn themselves and shorten the distance to the front wheels, which effectively creates a shorter wheelbase. So, in addition to being a four-wheel-drive car, it also is a four-wheel-steer car. And with some laps behind the wheel, I predict the 2018 Aventador S will soundly beat those numbers.īy far the most incredible element of the 2018 Aventador S is the system Lambo developed for the rear wheels to steer and direct the car independently of the front. The Aventador S sits squarely in the middle of this new era at Lamborghini, one that the arrival of the Urus SUV late this year will catapult forward in earnest. Sales have followed since 2011, total global sales numbers have more than doubled, thanks largely to Aventador and Huracán, and last year sales of the Aventador alone (3,457 deliveries to customers in 2016) exceeded twice that of Murciélago. But it has been wised-up to become a true 21st century supercar for the thinking man (or woman), and Farmeschi’s teams have done much to walk the line between cultivating a luxury lifestyle that is inclusive and alluring, welcoming but aspirational. Sure, Lambo’s “S" badging has always meant enhanced performance and technology. Nowadays, those who consume the latest, most expensive watches and seek out the most exclusive travel experiences are the ones buying Lamborghinis-for many wealthy buyers, the testosterone-driven, mechanics-obsessed, track-weathered mentality barely exists today.
