Because with all that carbon fiber and aluminum, I’d no idea the Aventador weighed in at just about 2 TONS!!!??? I thought it was around 3500-3600lbs max. Geebus, it costs almost 100x what it weighs.

I underestimate the weight of a lot of cars...

V12's are heavy.

Even being all aluminum, a DOHC V12 is a heavy ass motor.

Just as an example, GM’s DOHC V6 is 370lb before fluids. Now multiply that by 2 then add fluids. You’re nearing a thousand pounds of just motor.

This. It also likely has 12+ quarts of oil. Again, carrying around more than twice the weight in oil as typical car.

Even the FF weighs around the same as an Aventador

And the FF has 2 extra seats compared to an Aventador.

Uh, isn’t the Aventador S 1.58 tons / 3,472 pounds? Not THAT heavy considering it’s a AWD 6.5 V12

That whooshing noise you heard was a joke asking what you’re paying to live under a rock. Tony’s been looking for a way to cut his monthly spend I suppose.

That’s dry weight ;)

If Wikipedia is to be believed, the Aventador actually weighs less at 3,472lbs (dry)
