The new Lamborghini Aventador SV has just gone sub-7 minutes at the Green Hell and is only 3 seconds away from beating the Porsche's 918 Spyder hypercar. The 740bhp Aventador SV was clocked doing its 6 minutes and 59.73 seconds lap while doing development tests with Pirelli for the P Zero Corsa tyre. Considering how much more expensive and advanced the Porsche hypercar is, we certainly did not expect the bull to come so close to the hybrid's lap time.

As a reference, Nissan's well-honed Nismo GT-R can only manage a 7 minute and 8.69 seconds lap and the 6.5-litre V12 Aventador SV is now the fourth quickest production car on the Nurburgring, after the Radical SR8 LM, Radical SR8 and Porsche 918 Spyder.
