What is the ALA 2.0 system in the Aventador SVJ?

How do the aerodynamics of the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ work?

Aerodynamics are so important to a racecar, and let’s be honest, the Aventador SVJ is essentially a racecar that can be legally driven on the street. However, it does have one huge advantage over a racecar. Racecars have to adhere to certain rules, but with the Aventador SVJ’s aerodynamics, all the rules get thrown out the window. How do the aerodynamics of the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ work? We are about to tell you.

What is active aero?

Quite simply, active aero means that the aerodynamic properties of something, a Lamborghini supercar in this case, are altered on the fly for a particular situation. It’s something that many racecars have played with, but few have gone as deep as the Aventador SVJ.

Is more downforce in a car always better?

How does the Aventador SVJ alter nose aerodynamics?

There are two flaps in the nose of the car. When going flat out, the ALA 2.0 system opens both flaps and directs air underneath the car to reduce drag and optimize speed.

When the brakes are applied, these flaps flip, closing off airflow underneath the car and directing it through two vents in the hood. This increases drag and downforce, thereby increasing control and braking force.
