Default Aventador launch - Sepang, Malaysia

Last week I was flown to Malaysia by Lamborghini (business class at that!) to be part of the coverage for the Aventador launch they were holding at the Sepang F1 circuit. I headed to Singapore direct from there for the F1 race hence the delay in getting photos online.

The Lambo marketing manager I dealt with was a great guy and is keen on letting everyone experience the car, so even as the photographer I was given 4 laps around the circuit behind the wheel. First one of their test drivers took you out as a passenger to learn the track and then it was me all alone in the car. In-car vid here: Lamborghini Aventador - lap around Sepang F1 circuit - YouTube

The car itself is brilliant, it moved itself right to the top of the wish list. Acceleration is crazy as you'd expect from 700hp, but in Strada mode its quite docile and you could easily drive it on daily basis. Your neck won't like the shifts in Corsa mode..

It wasn't a great event in terms of photo opps but I have no complaints at all, came out with one of my best experiences yet and there should be another exciting event coming up in a few months

Enough chat, few pics:
