Lamborghini Trademark Suggests Revised Aventador S Is Coming

#Lamborghini is apparently planning to launch a revised version of the Aventador. This according to a trademark application uncovered by our compatriots over at AutoGuide.

Filed just the other day with the European Union's Intellectual Property Office is an application is for the name Aventador S. The name would suggest not another version of the twelve-cylinder supercar to sit alongside the existing ones, but rather a facelifted model to replace it.

Expect revised bodywork, an upgraded cockpit, revised electronics, and perhaps most enticing of all, a bump in output – which AutoGuide suggests should amount to an extra 20-40 horsepower. We'd likely, then, be looking at about 720-740 metric horses, bringing the “base” model up to the output of the LP720-4 50th anniversary edition or even approaching that of the LP750-4 SuperVeloce or the 770-ps Centenario special.

With the Paris show already behind us, we could be looking at a debut for the Aventador S at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show next spring. After that, we can expect an updated roadster to follow, and maybe an even more potent SV flagship.

The update to the Aventador introduced in 2011 would give the model a new lease on life for another few years. The preceding Murcielago remained in production for over nine years, the Diablo before it for eleven, and the Countach for nearly sixteen years.
