Safety
Engine
The Aventador SVJ’s standard 6.5 DOHC V12 produces 156 more horsepower (759 vs. 603) than the AMG S-Class Coupe’s 4.0 turbo V8. The Aventador Ultimae’s standard 6.5 DOHC V12 produces 166 more horsepower (769 vs. 603) than the AMG S-Class Coupe’s 4.0 turbo V8.
Fuel Economy and Range
The Aventador has 2.7 gallons more fuel capacity than the AMG S-Class Coupe (23.8 vs. 21.1 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.
Transmission
The Aventador offers a standard sequential manual gearbox (SMG). With no clutch pedal to worry about and a fully automatic mode, an SMG is much more efficient than a conventional automatic but just as easy to drive. The AMG S-Class Coupe doesn’t offer an SMG or a conventional manual transmission.
Brakes and Stopping
For better stopping power the Aventador’s standard brake rotors are larger than those on the AMG S-Class Coupe:

Tires and Wheels
For better traction and acceleration, the Aventador has larger rear tires than the AMG S-Class Coupe (355/25R21 vs. 285/35R20).
The Aventador’s 255/30R20 front and 355/25R21 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 30 series front and 25 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the AMG S-Class Coupe’s standard 40 series front and 35 series rear tires.
For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Aventador has standard 21-inch rear wheels. Only 20-inch wheels are available on the AMG S-Class Coupe.
Suspension and Handling
For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Aventador is 3 inches wider in the front and 1.4 inches wider in the rear than on the AMG S-Class Coupe.
The Aventador handles at 1.05 G’s, while the AMG S-Class Coupe pulls only .92 G’s of cornering force in a Motor Trend skidpad test.
The Aventador executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver 1.8 seconds quicker than the AMG S-Class Coupe (23.1 seconds @ .92 average G’s vs. 24.9 seconds @ .82 average G’s).
Chassis
The Lamborghini Aventador may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 1000 to 1200 pounds less than the Mercedes AMG S-Class Coupe.
The Aventador Ultimae is 7.2 inches shorter than the AMG S-Class Coupe, making the Aventador easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.
The Aventador is 11.3 inches shorter in height than the AMG S-Class Coupe, making the Aventador much easier to wash and garage and drive (lower center of gravity).
Ergonomics
The Aventador’s instruments include an oil pressure gauge and a temperature gauge - which could save your engine! Often ‘idiot lights’ don’t warn you until damage has been done. The AMG S-Class Coupe does not have an oil pressure gauge.
In poor weather, headlights can lose their effectiveness as grime builds up on their lenses. This can reduce visibility without the driver realizing. The Aventador has standard headlight washers to keep headlight output high. The AMG S-Class Coupe doesn’t offer headlight washers.
