The Aventador was Lamborghini's V12 flagship from 2011 to 2022 and the last of its flagships without hybrid assistance. It came as a coupe and a Roadster in several versions, from the original LP700-4 to the S, SV, SVJ and final Ultimae, and buyers price each one very differently.
Every Aventador uses the same single-clutch ISR automated manual gearbox, so clutch condition comes up in almost every sale. This page is specific to the Aventador. For other Lamborghinis and the full comparison of ways to sell, see the main Lamborghini guide.

Which Aventador do you have?
LP700-4 Coupe and Roadster
2011–2016The original car, with the Roadster and its removable carbon roof panels added in 2013. It is the most affordable Aventador today, and mileage, clutch wear, options and history drive offers.
LP720-4 50° Anniversario
2013A limited edition for Lamborghini's 50th anniversary, with more power and revised aerodynamics. Paperwork confirming the edition helps buyers price it above a standard car.
Aventador SV
2015–2017Lighter and more powerful, with a large adjustable rear wing, in coupe and Roadster form. Built in limited numbers and priced well above the standard car.
Aventador S
2017–2021Updated with more power, rear-wheel steering and revised styling, in coupe and Roadster form. A more refined drive than the LP700-4, and offers reflect that.
Aventador SVJ
2018–2021The most extreme Aventador, with Lamborghini's active aerodynamics (ALA), built in limited numbers including the SVJ 63 edition. Buyers check for track use, tire and brake wear, and carbon bodywork condition.
Aventador Ultimae
2021–2022The final version, more powerful than the SVJ but without its active aero, keeping the S's rear-wheel steering. Its place as the last Aventador gives it lasting collector interest.
What Aventador buyers check first
- Clutch wearThe ISR clutch wears with traffic and hard launches. A recent dealer diagnostic printout showing clutch wear is one of the first things a serious buyer asks for.
- Front-axle liftThe lift makes the car usable on driveways and ramps. Cars without it draw fewer buyers or get a lower offer.
- Version and body styleAn SV, SVJ or Ultimae is priced as a different car from an LP700-4 or S. Coupe versus Roadster also changes who is bidding.
- Options and personalizationCarbon interior and exterior packages, the glass engine cover, Sensonum audio and special paints add appeal. Ad Personam builds help most when the factory paperwork comes with the car.
- Service and track historyAnnual Lamborghini dealer services and openly disclosed track use. Undisclosed track use found at inspection hurts more than honesty would have.
Where to sell an Aventador
LP700-4 and Aventador S
Specialist exotic buyers with nationwide enclosed pickup. These are the most common Aventadors, so buyers compare quickly and can firm up an offer once they have seen the clutch reading and service records.
SV, SVJ and Ultimae
Enthusiast auctions such as Bring a Trailer, or a specialist who focuses on limited cars. Low-mile, well-optioned examples attract competitive bidding. See our guide to selling a car at auction.
SVJ 63, Anniversario and Ad Personam one-offs
Catalog auction houses can reach collectors for the rarest editions, especially low-mile cars with complete documentation.

Common questions
Should I replace the clutch before selling my Aventador?
Not always. Get a clutch wear reading first and share it, because buyers will price in a worn clutch either way. If it is near the end, a documented replacement can make the car easier to sell; see our Lamborghini maintenance cost guide.
Is an Aventador S worth more than an LP700-4?
Generally, since it is newer with more power and rear-wheel steering, but mileage, options and condition can outweigh the version difference. Our guide to how much a Lamborghini costs covers the market.
Should I sell my SVJ at auction?
Often. Low-mile SVJs with strong options attract competitive bidding, and an auction sets a public price. Read our guide to selling at auction before choosing.
Has the Aventador been replaced?
Yes. The plug-in hybrid V12 Revuelto replaced it, and Aventador production ended in 2022.
