Lamborghini Aventador S

Photos by Sam Bendall The sun is shining, the temperature is promenading toward 70 degrees, the Pacific breeze dances across my face with a dash of salt to its aroma. It’s a perfect Wednesday morning in Southern California when suddenly every other person walking, jogging or driving along Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica has his or her smartphone camera locked on me and the supercar I’m driving: a Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster cloaked in a hue of orange called “Arancio Argos.” Underneath a relentless SoCal sun, I fear the color may cook all those phones’ camera sensors.

Lamborghini has rolled out their new Aventador S, and the car looks awesome. This is the flagship V12 beast from the revered Italian automaker, and comes with some new design features for better aerodynamics, as well as enhanced suspension and electronics.
