As much as I enjoyed letting the car do the talking it would have been good to hear Sutcliffe's opinion...but all I got was mime, no words. I got all the lovely V12 noise from outside the car but it seemed the mic was dead. He seemed to enjoy it, though.

Trying to hard
I love Lambo's but the Countach, Diablo and Murcielago all started clean but wild looking and got more tacky looking as they developed and got older. The Aventador has skipped the clean but still wild looking phase and gone straight for the tacky trying to hard to look wild look and I really dont like it at all. I also have issue with the wing which when raised shows a big slab of un finished body work under it which looks cheap. It may sound amazing and go like the clappers but its all looking a bit old now and yes I will use the word again...tacky.

Great Review
Nice to have a review where the music does not drown out the car.
This review let the car be heard and didn't spoil the review itself.
Please more of this type of review for great sounding cars.
