This 2020 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ appears to have relatively limited damage, but fixing an Italian supercar can be a very costly endeavor
- Damaged Lamborghini Aventador SVJ would be worth over a million dollars but for the damage it suffered in a crash.
- Now for sale on Copart, the damage seems limited to the front left side, but what lies beneath?
- The Aventador SVJ made 759 hp and 531 lb-ft of torque, and received a range of aerodynamic improvements.
There are some of us who can’t go to an animal shelter without wanting to rescue every animal in the joint, and others among us who feel the same way about cars. For the second group, this latest Copart listing will really test your will power – and your wallet.
This 2020 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ is located in Florida and has suffered a significant black eye, but seemingly little other damage. It’s certainly a tempting vehicle, as the auctioneer reports that the engine, which is located nowhere near the site of the damage, still runs.

Even at the front, the damage relatively limited to the left side of the bumper. A narrow cut out suggests that this Lamborghini may have lost a fight with a pole or a bollard. How much could that possible cost to repair?
Well, according to the brave enthusiast who is trying to repair Michael B. Jordan’s crashed Ferrari 812 Superfast, restoring an Italian supercar with seemingly limited damage can cost an awful lot. Thanks to the use of exotic materials like carbon fiber, bumpers and fenders can cost thousands of dollars to buy, and that doesn’t even take into account the labor that goes into replacing them.
Meanwhile, if the shunt that took out this rare Lambo was big enough to set off its airbags, fixing the inside might also be a nightmare of care and cost, as you work to avoid doing more damage to the high-quality leather and Alcantara that line its interior. And you better hope that no damage was done to the frame of the vehicle, which could make costs balloon even further.
Still, there must be someone out there who wants a screaming deal on a purebred supercar that’s powered by a 759 hp (566 kW/759 PS) V12, and which Copart estimates was worth $1.1 million before its unfortunate accident.
What do you think? Should this Lamborghini Aventador SVJ be restored, used as a basis for a wild project car, or simply parted out? If you choose the last option, tell us what you would use the V12 for.
