Lamborghini says that the SVJ is the most powerful series production V12-engined car produced to date by the company. It features an increase in power to 770 hp (566 kW) at maximum 8,500 rpm. The SVJ outputs 720 Nm of torque at 6,750 rpm, while a dry weight of just 1,525 kg gives the SVJ a weight-to-power ratio of 1.98 kg/hp. The SVJ has a 0-100 km/h time of 2.8 seconds and from 0 to 200 km/h time of 8.6 seconds. The SVJ can achieve a top speed of 350 km/h has a braking distance of 100 km/h to 0 in 30 meters.

There is also the Lamborghini telemetry system which is an optional specification: recording lap times and track performance as well as trip data, the telemetry system is especially appealing to the owner who wants to take his car on track.
The new Aventador SVJ, where SV historically stands for Superveloce meaning ‘superfast’ - takes the ‘Jota’ suffix, denoting its track and performance legacy.
