    So, some facts:
    - SV production begins this year, November
    - It will be single clutch, unknown power increase or weight decrease at this point
    - It will be limited
    - As soon as it's done, the Aventador is getting a mid-life facelift. This facelift will include a dual clutch gearbox

    So, The SV name now would seem no longer to signal the end of an era, the last technological hurrah. It would seem to be Lamborghini's half-assed attempt to clear out old technology and elongating the model life and use it rather as an interim "sportier, harder edged" model. This is all information from the factory, and it makes sense - they want us to clear out Pirelli Edition models to then concentrate on the SV which we have 4 allocated for November production. Prior to that, they were very cautious of revealing too much as they wanted more customers to purchase the standard model, obviously in light of waning interest in the car.

    It would seem it's a decision now to sacrifice the "legend" of the SV name, it is no longer that ultra-exclusive car, it is merely the Superleggera, the "Turbo S", which is now available from the get go. When we questioned the factory, the hell are you doing, you're improving the car AFTER the SV?? They replied with, maybe we'll do a dual clutch SV too, hasn't been decided.

    And a V6 Urus. Argh.

    As a current 2015 LP720 owner, I was considering requesting allocation of the SV as a replacement of my 50th Anniversary. If all that is written here is true, the entire Aventador lineup is about to get killed.

    In your position i would opt to keep the 50th Anniversary, it will be a much rare beast than the SV, but that is just my personal opinion. Plus, in time, the value of the Anniversary will only go up.
