Competed directly with other limited-production, track-focused supercars of its era, such as the Ferrari 599 GTO, Pagani Zonda R, and various specialized editions from McLaren and Porsche.
Not specified, but significantly lower than standard models due to extensive use of carbon fiber and lightweight materials.
đĄïž Safety Features
Ratings
Crash Test Ratings:
No official crash test ratings from standard agencies (e.g., NHTSA, Euro NCAP) due to low production volume and supercar classification.
Active Features
Braking System:
Carbon-ceramic disc brakes with multi-piston calipers (standard on SV)
Electronic Stability Control:
ABS, EBD, and Traction Control System (TCS) with selectable modes.
Passive Features
Airbags:
Driver and passenger front airbags.
Body Structure:
Integrated safety cell with crumple zones, extensive use of carbon fiber for rigidity and occupant protection.
đĄ Technology Features
Infotainment
Infotainment System:
Basic infotainment system for its era, typically including a radio, CD player, and navigation system. Less advanced compared to modern supercars.
Display:
Central analog gauges and a small multi-function display between the tachometer and speedometer.
Driver Assistance
Driver Modes:
Selectable e-gear modes (e.g., Normal, Sport, Full Auto) affecting shift speed and aggressive-ness. Some models may have adjustable suspension settings.
Connectivity
Connectivity Options:
Limited connectivity; typically Bluetooth for phone calls, but no advanced smartphone integration like Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
đ§ Maintenance
Service Intervals
Major Service:
Typically every 12 months or 15,000 km (9,300 miles), whichever comes first, with specific checks at higher mileage intervals (e.g., 30,000 km).
Engine Oil Change:
Annual or every 10,000 km (6,200 miles), or as indicated by the onboard computer.
Transmission Fluid Change:
Refer to manual; typically every 30,000 km for e-gear transmission fluid.
Fluid Specifications
Engine Oil:
Refer to manual; typically a full synthetic, SAE 0W-40 or 5W-40 meeting API SN/CF, ACEA A3/B4 or specific Lamborghini approval (e.g., LT-10-02).
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze/coolant, typically purple or pink in color, meeting VW TL 774-F (G12+) or equivalent.
Specific synthetic gear oil for e-gear transmission and differential fluids; refer to manual for exact specifications and part numbers.
Known Issues
Common Problems:
Potential issues can include clutch wear on e-gear transmissions, early generation infotainment system glitches, suspension component wear, and specific electrical gremlins common to low-volume exotics. Due to the SV's performance focus, brake and tire wear are expected.
Carbon Fiber Care:
Proper care of exposed carbon fiber components to prevent UV damage or delamination.
