Overview

2014 Lamborghini Aventador

The 2014 Lamborghini Aventador is a V12-powered supercar featuring a 6.5-liter engine, an Automatic (AM-S7) transmission, and All-Wheel Drive. While it delivers exceptional performance, used examples require careful consideration due to its high-performance nature and specific recall history. The EPA rates it at 12 MPG combined, indicating high fuel costs. Safety ratings are not available from NHTSA. Despite a 'Good' public reliability verdict, critical recalls for fuel system fire risk and engine stalling, alongside 15 Technical Service Bulletins, suggest potential for significant issues.

Critical Failure Risk

A critical recall (NHTSA 17V073000) addresses the risk of gasoline contacting the exhaust system if the fuel tank is overfilled, potentially leading to a fire. This requires an upgrade to the evaporative emissions system.

Early detection can help you avoid a $1,000-$3,000 repair.
