Video: Aventador vs LP560 Twin Turbo vs Superleggera

Take a look at this trio of Lambo’s running some heads up drag racing in Canada. On the left we have a LP560 Heffner Twin Turbo bolt-on kit making around 900HP, in the middle is the brand new Aventador LP700 making 700HP and on the right is a 2008 Superlerggera with 530HP. The Aventador gets a nice jump using it’s launch control with the LP560TT right with it, the Superleggera gets sadly left behind. Would have been nice to have another camera towards the end of the track to see how the LP560TT did at higher speeds against the LP700.
