Overview
In a world that has become heavily reliant on technology, the 2021 Lamborghini Aventador takes a more nostalgic look at things. The large Lambo is a triumphant tribute to supercars of old, with its flamboyant facade and vociferous V-12. The 730-plus-hp 6.5-liter engine that's mounted behind the driver is naturally aspirated and crowd pleasing, but the Aventador's automated-manual transmission can be clunky in traffic.
Interior
For 2021, the Aventador receives very minor updates. The S can now be equipped with forged Leirion wheels as well as an Arancio Dac center wheel lock. The SVJ now comes with a glovebox, and you can order the badge in exposed carbon fiber. The price of the 2021 Lamborghini Aventador starts at $421,321 and goes up to $577,461 depending on the trim and options.
In typical supercar fashion, the Aventador can be thoroughly customized and costs a small fortune. If our metaphorical pockets were deep enough, we'd spring for the top-of-the-line SVJ roadster. It's marginally heavier than the coupe that set a lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, but it's considerably prettier.

The Widebody version looks cooler with its flared fenders and handles better, thanks largely to wider wheels and tires, so that's the one we'd choose. Despite the fact that the SRT Hellcat is all about excess, we wouldn't opt for the Redeye model that increases power to nearly 800 horses.
Exterior
The mad scientists at Dodge's SRT laboratory pulled a Samuel L. Jackson and went all Old Testament with the almighty Hellcat engine. The standard setup makes "only" 717 horsepower, and the version in the Redeye pumps out 797 horses. The 807-hp Super Stock model features dedicated equipment for drag racing. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the last Challenger SRT Redeye Widebody we tested roared to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and completed the quarter-mile in 11.8 seconds at 125 mph.
With fuel-economy ratings in the single digits, the Aventador ranks among the least efficient cars on the market. The EPA expects all models to earn 9 mpg in the city and 15 mpg on the highway.
Specs
In typical Lamborghini fashion, every Aventador supports a set of scissor doors that swing open. The low-slung interior is showing its age, but it can be fitted with a variety of premium materials and personalized options. The cabin won't hold many small items, and luggage space is limited. The dashboard features a digital gauge cluster that changes its layout whenever you select a new drive mode—Strada, Sport, and Corsa; Ego mode allows you to personalize the settings for powertrain, steering, and suspension.
Summury
The Challenger interior was redesigned for the 2015 model year with a driver-centric layout, straightforward switchgear, and better materials. The SRT twins have standard leather finery, unique badging and gauge colors, and heated and ventilated front seats. Despite its roomy cabin, the plastics still look cheap, and visibility to the rear is poor. The Dodge held six carry-ons in its trunk and an impressive 15 total with the rear seat stowed.
