Aventador vs Aventador SV vs Aventador S

Only thing I wanted to see was a race.... and it was not there...

I would say that on a straight drag race, rolling or otherwise, the SV will win due to its lighter weight. On a twisty road, that would depend on the driver of the SV as the 4WS does wonders for the S’ handling. The car seems magically shrunk due to the 4WS. I had a LP700 coupe, a roadster; currently a SV and had driven the S fairly substantially. Parking with the S is quite an improvement over the other 2. Weight-wise, a loaded S with the comfort seats & all the bells & whistles is quite porky though. The original AV simply cannot compete with the hp deficit and it too is rather porky.

How about sound between the three?

 

I was impressed by how much more aggressive the S sounded over the base car inside, even with simple neutral revs barely above idle. The S barks loudly.

How much less does an SV weigh? About the same as a passenger?

Roughly. Having driven all 3 I think the SV still feels like the Ultimate version currently. The S is fast, loud and shockingly nimble...But the SV looks and feels a bit more hardcore. The first gen Aventador is a proper beast, and once you experience the later versions you realize just how impressive the "regular" Aventador is and what a great base platform it is. With all 3 you can't really go wrong, so the way I see it is that each one is better suited for a different type of driver. The standard Aventador is for someone who want to save some cash (relatively speaking) but mainly for those looking for a signature V12 supercar experience. The SV is for those who want the most raw, hardcore feeling supercar. The S if for those who want the maximum amount of performance while also having the most civilized car to live with. You really can't go wrong.
