old_account · 09-27-2011, 01:10 AM

who woulda ever thought most of our modded cars would have wider tires than the aventador?

stock front aventador tires are puny 225/35/19 on 9.0!!!

rear tires on the other hand...

None of the above would be of much use without suitable rubber. How do these massive Pirelli P Zeros grab you? They certainly grab the asphalt. For the record you're looking at 225/35R19 fronts mounted on 19-by-9 rims. The rears are 335/30R20 (that's another 50% wider, folks) and they live on 20-by-12 rims. Forged alloys all around, of course.

Maybe it has a huge rear-weight bias. I do find that very strange and wonder how it will affect lap times, or if they even care.

I think new Lambo corp probably cares "some", old lambo corp from the 80's, hell no, as long as it looks cool, it's a go.

Look forward to seeing 'ring and other lap-times, then!

Someone else already said it. but damn. this was my dream car as a kid. it was my dream car's dream car. I grew up with posters of it.... also the 911 and the r32 skyline gtr.

I mean as a kid if I had this lambo, it would be like being king of the world.

Car shows as a kid really set me up for disappointment in life.

The Aventador has the second quickest time around Top Gear's track. I think it will be ok.

It probably doesn't need the big tire up front because its sure a light car. The front end on that thing wouldn't have much weight at all!

Actually the McLaren MP4-12C did a time of 1:16.2, but part of that has to do with the fact that it was designed/tested at the Top Gear test track.

For some reason that's not on the Top Gear's website...

Is it because its not for sale yet?

BBC - Top Gear - Power Laps

Also, for some weird reason the Bugatti Veyron SS is higher on the list the the Lambo even though the lambo did it quicker
