Introduced back in 2011 and facelifted in 2016, the current Aventador at eight-years old is already ripe for replacement, in part, for an outdated decision from engineers to equip it with a single-clutch automated manual transmission that lacks the sophistication (and durability) of more advanced dual-clutch transmissions.

The reason behind the delay is that Audi, which owns Lamborghini, is not keen on the level of investment to hybridise the Aventador’s trademark V12 engine to make it compliant with forthcoming EU7 emissions standards.

Instead, its German parent wants the flagship Lambo to switch to the twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 that, in plug-in hybrid form, produces around 522kW and is all set for the stringent emissions.
