1971 Miura SV Sets Record for Vintage Lamborghini Sold at Live Auction

HERNDON, Va., March 16, 2015 - Attendees at last weekend's Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance were the first in North America to view Lamborghini's latest super sports car, the Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce. The Superveloce made its global debut at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this month and followed with a media and public debut in Amelia Island, FL. In a fitting coincidence, at a related auction during the weekend, a 1971 Lamborghini Miura SV sold for $2.31 million, a new record for a vintage Lamborghini sold at live auction.

'The reception this vehicle received at its North American debut at the Amelia Island Concours this weekend matches the level of enthusiasm we saw from the global audience in Geneva,' said Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO, Automobili Lamborghini. 'The Aventador Superveloce continues the Lamborghini tradition of pushing the boundaries in terms of performance and driving emotion and we were excited to see the positive reaction from our American audience.'

The Superveloce is the new pinnacle of Lamborghini's flagship Aventador model range - a car created to enhance groundbreaking performance and unmatched design. Its engineers and designers sought to create the fastest and most emotional Lamborghini driving experience yet, thanks to an improved power-to-weight ratio, increased aerodynamic performance, improved drivability and a track-focused aesthetic.

Every system on the car has been reconsidered to enable a new, elevated performance threshold. Engine output of the 6.5-liter V12 engine has been increased to 750 horsepower while weight has been decreased by 110 pounds by optimizing equipment levels and utilizing additional lightweight materials such as forged aluminum (rims) and carbon fiber (bodywork and interior.)

Aerodynamic efficiency has been optimized by 150% while downforce has been increased by more than 170% over the standard Aventador. This enables the Superveloce to accelerate to 60 mph from a standstill in 2.8 seconds and reach a top speed of more than 217 mph. To improve drivability, the vehicle features an adaptive magneto-rheological suspension as well as the electromechanical Lamborghini Dynamic Steering (LDS).

The Superveloce will reach North American Lamborghini retailers in summer 2015 at a base price of $489,600 (incl. GGT).

In additional to the successful reveal, a limited number of client and prospect test drive experiences took place in the brand's existing Aventador and Huracán models, at the Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island.
