Lamborghini’s $493,069 Aventador LP750-4 Superveloce sells out in just 3 months

The term “hot commodity” doesn’t even begin to describe the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce. Just three months after it was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show, the SV-spec model has already achieved sold-out status.

While not all of the 600 planned units have been produced, each and every one of them has been pre-sold. 200 units are scheduled for North and South American delivery, another 200 are headed to Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and the final 200 supercars will ship off the Asian Pacific countries.

Priced from €327,190 in Europe and $493,069 in United States, the more powerful, better handling, and more aggressively-styled Aventador SV also shaves 110 pounds off the standard Aventador’s belt line.

As the name suggests, the LP 750-4 developed 750 horsepower — 50 more than the normal car. Thanks to its aerodynamic upgrades, the SV is 150% more efficient at cutting through the air, and adds an extra 70% of downforce. These tweaks add up to a 2.8 second sprint to 60 mph and a top speed of over 217 mph.

The Lamborghini Aventador Superveloce is rivaled by models like the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and Pagani Huayra. The F12 develops 740 hp and 508 pound-feet of torque from a 6.3-liter V12 while the Huayra uses an AMG-sourced twin-turbocharged V12 with 720 hp and 740 lb-ft of torque on tap. The F12 gets to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and the Huayra falls behind both the F12 and Aventador SV with a 3.2 second sprint.

Most most to least unique, the Huayra costs $1.4 million and only 100 models have been built. The Aventador SV is the next most expensive and rare, while the F12 seeming like a bargain at $350,000.

Without any more hardcore Aventador versions being planned, the LP 750-4 SV may maintain its status as the most powerful production Lamborghini –besting the Veneno LP740-4– for a good while.

Kia EV4: everything we know so far
Kia EV4 Front

Kia is continuing to expand its electric car lineup. The EV6 and EV9 have both been out for some time now, and the company is in the middle of rolling out the EV3 in Europe, with a North American release expected next year. After that, it's likely the company will turn to the EV5. But what about after that? Well, that could be where the Kia EV4 comes in.

Kia announced a concept version of the EV4 at its EV Day in 2023, showing off a futuristic-looking hatchback that's seemingly a little smaller than the EV6, but keeps many design elements. Since then, Kia has confirmed very few details about it, though we have seen it shown off at other automotive events. Here's everything we know about the Kia EV4 so far.
Kia EV4 design
The Kia EV4, or at least the concept version of it, is smaller than the EV6, and much smaller than the EV9. It's actually closer in size to a sedan than anything else, though with its open trunk, it could be considered a hatchback. Regardless, it certainly blurs the line between the two. So much so, that in recent months we've actually seen a full hatchback version of the EV4 being tested -- and it's possible that Kia is pivoting the design of the EV4 entirely to be a hatch, or will be releasing both hatchback and sedan versions.
