Jon Olsson buys a Lamborghini Aventador SV in the Netherlands and drives it 700 km back to Sweden
14/03/2026
For most collectors, buying a rare supercar abroad usually means arranging enclosed transport and waiting patiently for delivery.
For Jon Olsson, that approach would be far too boring. The Swedish entrepreneur and automotive content creator has just purchased a striking Lamborghini Aventador SV in the Netherlands and instead of shipping it home, he decided to drive the car roughly 700 kilometres back to Sweden himself.
One of Lamborghini’s most extreme V12 machines
The Lamborghini Aventador SV arrived in 2015 as a more aggressive evolution of the standard Aventador. At the time, Lamborghini pushed the naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 to 750 horsepower, up from the 700 hp of the base model. Engineers also reduced the car’s weight by roughly 50 kilograms, while introducing significant aerodynamic upgrades.
Those changes included a larger rear wing, revised front splitter and an overall aerodynamic package designed to increase downforce and improve stability at high speed. The result was a car that felt far closer to Lamborghini’s track-focused philosophy than the already dramatic Aventador.
Not exactly a quiet Lamborghini
If the bright orange paintwork wasn’t already enough to draw attention, this particular Lamborghini Aventador SV features an extremely loud aftermarket exhaust system. The rear of the car shows what are essentially straight pipes, producing an unfiltered V12 soundtrack that is likely to make the car impossible to ignore, especially on long highway drives.
Yet even that isn’t enough for Olsson. He has already confirmed that the car will soon receive an upgraded exhaust from Gintani, a system known among enthusiasts for transforming Lamborghini V12 engines into something that sounds closer to an old-school Formula 1 car.
A 700-kilometre drive home
Despite the extremely loud exhaust setup, Jon Olsson chose to drive the car all the way back to Sweden. The journey covered roughly 700 kilometres, and according to Olsson himself it was anything but relaxing. Heavy rain accompanied the entire trip, adding an extra layer of drama to the experience.
Still, that decision perfectly reflects Olsson’s approach to cars. Rather than keeping them hidden away, he prefers to drive them, modify them, and turn them into unique personal projects.
What comes next for the Aventador SV?
If history is any indication, this Lamborghini Aventador SV probably won’t remain stock for long. Olsson has already mentioned the upcoming Gintani exhaust installation, and he initially considered wrapping the car. For now, however, the vibrant orange paint seems to have convinced him to keep the original color, at least temporarily.
Fans of Olsson’s builds will know that his cars often receive wild camouflage wraps, roof boxes, and dramatic custom modifications. So the chances are high that this Lamborghini will soon evolve into something far more extreme than the already outrageous factory specification.
AutoNext Take
There’s something refreshingly honest about this story. In an era where many supercars end up as static investments (sometimes barely driven at all) Jon Olsson continues to treat them as machines meant to be used.
Driving a Lamborghini Aventador SV 700 kilometres across Europe in the rain, with an ear-splitting exhaust, is probably the exact opposite of how collectors would treat such a car. But that’s precisely the point.
The Aventador SV belongs to the last generation of pure naturally aspirated V12 Lamborghinis, a breed that is rapidly disappearing as the industry moves toward hybridisation and electrification. And perhaps the best way to celebrate that era is exactly what Olsson did: start the engine and drive it (loudly) across an entire continent.
