The Aventador is easier to drive than the Murcielago. Still, it might seem dishonest for the Aventador to inherit the mantle of the last challenging thrill in the segment – as in, it’s a challenge to drive at all, before you get to the challenge of driving well – only because everything else around it has gotten so much easier. But that’s progress, and that’s where I think we are.
And that’s why the Aventador is my new favorite car.
