Can a Lamborghini Aventador Beat an F-16 Fighting Falcon?

- in Cars

Do you want to see if Lamborghini Aventador, that 700bhp weapon of noise and angles and fury, could take an F16 fighter plane?

The Lamborghini Aventador is one of the quickest and fastest supercars on the market today, but does it have what it takes to beat a fighter jet? And not just any jet, but an F-16 Fighting Falcon, perhaps the most iconic plane flown by the U.S. Air Force? To find out, the Danish magazine Bilmagasinet led this spirited bull to compete against the “old bird”.

The Lamborghini Aventador may include some jet fighter-inspired design clues, but its lack of wings and jet engine would lead us to believe that it doesn’t stand a chance racing the F-16. On the other hand, it’s far lighter weight and ground-based aerodynamics might allow the Aventador to compete if the track is short enough.
