Lamborghini just unleashed the ultimate version of its flagship Aventador supercar and it's $518,000 of Italian fury

      

The Lamborghini Aventador SVJ costs $518,000 in the US and only 900 will be made during its production run. It's powered by a 770 horsepower V12 engine and can do 62 mph in 2.8 seconds with a top speed of more than 217 mph.

Lamborghini's flagship Aventador supercar has been around since 2011. Since then, the Italian supercar maker has been steadily improving the big V12 bruiser while burnishing its reputation as a track weapon.

On Thursday, Lamborghini introduced the latest version of supercar dubbed the Aventador SVJ in Monterey, California.

The Aventador SVJ follows in the footsteps of 2015's Aventador SV and last year's Aventador S. SVJ, in case you're wondering, stands for Superveloce Jota. Superveloce means "superfast" in Italian, while Jota is a designation used for Lambos geared towards track performance.

"The Aventador SVJ is an innovative car and represents the absolute pinnacle of our super sports car product range," Automobili Lamborghini CEO, Stefano Domenicali said in a statement.
