2015 Lamborghini Aventador LP750 4 SV front end in motion 03

You would like to think these are the kind of problems you'd love to have. You are wrong. A car like this, which you've bought with your own money, is something you'd like to enjoy. Being uncomfortable, unable to see where you're going, and constantly afraid that a cellphone-wielding admirer is going to crash into you or that you'll grind the nose into the pavement is not enjoyable under any circumstance. Neither is taking it to the gas station every 100 miles.

For these reasons, we return you to our previous recommendation: Don't drive this car to your road or racetrack of choice. Ship it there, and ship it home. Enjoy the car as it's meant to be driven: at least 100 mph, preferably with your hair on fire for good measure.

2010 Lamborghini Murcielago LP670 4 SV front three quarters

With the tide of performance ever-rising, it's easy to grow jaded about the latest high-water mark. Take for instance the 2010 Murciélago LP670-4 SV (pictured above) reviewed in our October 2009 issue. "Once the tach needle sweeps past the 5,000 rpm mark, however, it's like someone's fired the afterburner on an F/A-18," then-editor-in-chief Angus MacKenzie said. "There's a solid shove between the shoulder blades, and the sonorous exhaust note gets an excitable edge." Look at the stats for that car compared to the new Aventador LP750-4 SV. Not only is the power up by 79 hp, but the weight has risen by just 6 pounds, and that results in a more favorable weight-to-power ratio—5.3 versus 5.9 pounds for each horsepower to move. Perhaps the greatest advantage the new supercar has over the old is its single-clutch automated manual versus the old single-clutch unit. Shifts now take less time, and they're smoother and don't upset the car as much. Our figure-eight test reveals a grip delta, and all those fractions of a second add up to a 1.4-second advantage for the new car. And although the difference to 60 mph is just 0.6 second, by the time they both reach 100 mph, there's a 1.7-second chasm between them. By the end of the quarter mile, the Murciélago claws back some time but can't even come close with an 8.9-mph disadvantage in trap speed. Behold the new Superveloce. It truly is a masterpiece.-Chris Walton
