Now the car ~ Lamborghini based in Sant'Agata Bolognese, is owned by the Volkswagen Group through its subsidiary Audi. Ferruccio Lamborghini, an Italian manufacturing magnate, founded Automobili Ferruccio Lamborghini S.p.A. in 1963 to compete with established marques, including Ferrari. The company was noted for using a rear mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout. Lamborghini currently produces the V12-powered Aventador and the V10-powered Huracán, along with the Urus SUV powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine. Their website claims that Lamborghini created the Aventador SVJ to embrace challenges head-on, combining cutting-edge technology with extraordinary design, while always refusing to compromise. In a future driven by technology, it’s easy to lose the genuine thrill of driving. But in the future shaped by Lamborghini, this won’t be left behind, because there will always be a driver behind the wheel.
Lamborghini Aventador SVJ is a luxury car beyond reach of most Indians as its on road price in Delhi is a staggering 7.11 crore with Insurance costing approx. 25 lakhs !!

Mendy, who joined City in 2017, bought the car in France and was pictured driving it in Cannes this summer.The SVJ, which can do 0-60mph in three seconds, is an improved version of the Aventador S, with only 900 made.
According to the Cheshire Police website, any motorist who needs to reclaim a vehicle has just 14 days to do so. As reported by The Sun, Mendy's Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, which is worth £475,000, was seized by police when Mendy was stopped by police for driving without a valid license or insurance. The report states that the left back has yet to provide any documentation. In most cases police keep cars for 14 days before selling it at an auction or having it destroyed. Twenty days have now passed since Mendy's car was taken.
