Overview of the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ
This is a genuinely rare opportunity to buy a virtually new Lamborghini Aventador SVJ directly from Japan, offered through USS Nagoya & Hokuriku with an odometer reading of just 800 km, or approximately 497 miles. The SVJ is the final and most extreme evolution of the naturally aspirated Aventador line, and this particular car carries an auction grade 5 with interior grade A, the highest combination USS awards, reflecting a car in essentially showroom condition.
Finished in a matte green wrap over the factory green paint, and dressed with an extensive list of carbon fibre options, this Aventador SVJ was first registered in Japan in October 2019 as an official dealer import, left hand drive, and has covered next to no distance since. The chassis code is 47L541, officially shown on the auction sheet as ABA-47L541, and the frame number is ZHWEM6ZD6LLA09012. With the new car service book and warranty booklet confirmed present on the auction sheet, and a damage diagram completely free of markings, this is about as close as buyers will find to a brand new Aventador SVJ anywhere in the world.
For anyone searching for a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ for sale with near zero mileage, outstanding auction grading, and full transparency on condition through a translated Japanese auction sheet, this lot deserves serious attention.
The Drive Review
The Aventador SVJ is the ultimate expression of Lamborghini's naturally aspirated V12 era, and it drives like nothing else currently in production. Power comes from the 6.5 litre L539 V12, tuned in SVJ guise to produce 770 PS, paired exclusively with Lamborghini's robotised single clutch ISR gearbox rather than a dual clutch unit. That transmission is part of the SVJ's character: shifts are brutal and mechanical rather than smooth, and the car punishes you with a kick in the back on every full throttle change, which feels old school and visceral in an era where almost everything else has gone to seamless dual clutch boxes.
The naturally aspirated V12 is the real star. It revs to 8,700 rpm with a hard metallic scream that builds in intensity the higher it climbs, and there is no turbo lag, no synthetic induction noise, just twelve cylinders and a straight line to the redline. Performance is sensational, with 0 to 62 mph dispatched in around 2.8 seconds and a top speed beyond 217 mph, but the way the SVJ delivers that performance is what sets it apart from modern turbocharged supercars. It is an analogue, demanding, physical experience.
Underneath, the SVJ introduced Lamborghini's ALA 2.0 active aerodynamics system, which channels air through the front splitter and rear wing to actively stall or generate downforce on each side of the car independently, effectively giving the SVJ a form of aero vectoring that sharpens turn in and stability through fast corners. This, combined with magnetorheological dampers and four wheel steering, allowed the SVJ to set a production car lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, a achievement that cemented its reputation as the most track capable Aventador ever built.
Weight remains a known Aventador weakness, this is a heavy car by supercar standards, and the ISR gearbox, while full of character, is an acquired taste compared with the slickness of a modern dual clutch unit. Visibility is also limited, as with any low slung V12 Lamborghini, and this is not a car built around everyday usability. But none of that detracts from what makes the SVJ special: it is one of the last of a breed, a naturally aspirated, four wheel drive, V12 flagship Lamborghini with genuine motorsport derived aerodynamics, built in strictly limited numbers.
Auction Details
This Lamborghini Aventador SVJ is listed through USS Nagoya & Hokuriku, lot number 13115, with the Japanese auction scheduled for 2 October 2026. The auction start price is ¥90,000,000. No Autoselecta guide bidding range has been set for this particular car, so buyers should refer to the live price panel on this page for current bidding guidance and estimated landed cost calculations, which are worked out in real time and will change after publication.
For context only, and not as a guarantee of what this car will achieve, one broadly comparable Aventador SVJ has previously sold at Japanese auction for approximately £398,821, though that result reflects a different car, in different condition, with different mileage, and should not be read as a prediction for this lot. Given this car's essentially unused condition and grade 5 rating, strong demand should be expected.
All bids must be submitted before 9PM UK time the evening before auction.
Vehicle Specifications
Manufacturer Lamborghini, model Aventador, grade SVJ, chassis code 47L541 (shown on the auction sheet as ABA-47L541). First registered October 2019 in Japan as an official dealer import. Engine 6,500 cc naturally aspirated V12. Transmission automatic, specifically Lamborghini's ISR automated single clutch gearbox. Drive 4WD. Steering left hand drive. Fuel petrol. Exterior colour green, with the auction sheet noting the original factory colour as green and the colour change box marked with an arrow but no alternative colour specified, consistent with the matte wrap visible in the photographs. Interior colour not confirmed on the auction sheet. Odometer reading 800 km, approximately 497 miles, as stated on the auction sheet, with the digital cluster in the photographs showing a range remaining of 250 km at near empty fuel level, consistent with extremely limited use. Auction house USS Nagoya & Hokuriku. Auction grade 5, interior grade A. Lot number 13115. Japanese shaken inspection valid until 28 October 2026. Recycling deposit recorded at 15,720 yen.
Factory Features and Equipment
The auction sheet confirms genuine alloy wheels, power steering, power windows, navigation and airbags as standard fitted equipment. Beyond this baseline, the sales points section of the sheet lists an extensive specification of factory and dealer fitted options: carbon fibre foot plates, Leirion 20 and 21 inch wheels, black centre lock wheel fixings, carbon engine detailing, a bonnet finished in body colour, SVJ badging, the Style Package, cross stitched interior trim, exterior shiny carbon fibre detailing, and a rocker cover finished in shiny carbon fibre.
Further points to note on the sheet add mirror housings finished in shiny carbon, an Interior Carbon Package, a Visibility Package, a rear view camera with parking sensors, carbon door and side trim panels, and an Alcantara centre console. Air conditioning is confirmed as automatic climate control (AAC). Together this represents a heavily optioned SVJ specification well beyond the standard car.
Japanese Auction Report Translation
This section has been translated and checked by Autoselecta staff directly from the Japanese auction sheet, and every point noted by the inspector is reproduced here. The sheet records the lot as number 13115, auctioned through the Seka Pla Corner section. Vehicle usage history is left blank.

Colour code is left blank. Fuel is petrol. Interior colour is left blank. The new car service book with accompanying warranty booklet is confirmed present, marked as 有 (present) on the sheet. The car is recorded as an imported dealer vehicle, with model year left blank. Steering is left hand drive. Transfer document expiry is left blank. The recycling deposit is 15,720 yen. Seating capacity and load capacity fields are blank, as is normal for this type of vehicle on a Japanese auction sheet. Registration plate is recorded as Kasugai 314 yu 86. Frame number is ZHWEM6ZD6LLA09012. Serial number field is blank.
Equipment marked includes genuine alloy wheels, power steering, power windows, navigation and airbags.
The sales points section lists carbon foot plates, Leirion 20 and 21 inch wheels, black centre lock wheel fixings, carbon engine detailing, a body coloured bonnet, SVJ logo badging, the Style Package, cross stitched trim, exterior shiny carbon fibre, and a rocker cover finished in shiny carbon fibre.
The points to note section lists mirror housings in shiny carbon, an Interior Carbon Package, a Visibility Package, a rear view camera and parking sensors, carbon door and side trim panels, and an Alcantara centre console. The sheet also notes the body has a matte wrap (ボディマットラッピング), and that the exhaust fitted is a Power Craft silencer (recorded on the sheet as PWクラフトマフラー, read as Power Craft). The sheet states the car was bought in from a private owner (ユーザー買取り). A further note reads that the standard, original silencer may be available if sent carriage forward with the buyer paying delivery, though this particular line on the sheet is not fully legible and this reading is not certain.
The inspector's own report records one single comment: a small scuff to a seat edge (シートフチスレ小). No other mechanical, electrical or cosmetic faults are noted by the inspector anywhere on the sheet.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition
The vehicle diagram on the auction sheet carries no damage markings whatsoever, no scratches, dents, dimples, repair marks, rust, corrosion or replaced panels of any kind are indicated anywhere on the body. This is an exceptionally clean diagram, entirely consistent with a car that has covered only 800 km since first registration. No spare tyre is marked on the diagram, which is normal for this model as the Aventador SVJ is not supplied with a conventional spare wheel.
Based on the diagram, the auction grade of 5, and the photographs provided, this car should be regarded as being in essentially showroom, near new condition rather than simply well kept used condition. The only recorded imperfection anywhere on the vehicle, inside or out, is the single small scuff to a seat edge noted by the inspector, discussed further below.
Interior Condition
The interior is finished predominantly in black Alcantara and leather with contrasting cream or ivory cross stitching, visible in the cabin photograph, along with an Alcantara centre console and extensive carbon fibre trim across the dashboard, door cards and side trim panels, consistent with the Interior Carbon Package noted on the auction sheet. The digital instrument cluster, carbon fibre steering wheel with illuminated controls, and twin screen infotainment layout are all visible and appear factory standard. Interior colour is not specifically stated on the auction sheet beyond what is visible in the photographs.
Interior grade is recorded as A, the highest interior grading USS applies, and the only inspector comment anywhere on the car concerns the interior: a small scuff to the edge of a seat. No other wear, damage, odour or equipment faults are noted on the auction sheet. Navigation, automatic air conditioning, rear view camera and parking sensors are all confirmed present.
Japanese Auction Grades
Japanese auction houses grade both the exterior body condition and the interior condition of every car independently. Exterior grades typically run from 6, representing a brand new or as new car, down through 5, 4.5, 4, 3.5, 3 and lower for cars with increasing levels of wear, repair or damage history. An exterior grade of 5, as recorded here, denotes a car in excellent condition with no significant damage history, essentially as new, which sits at the top practical grade most used cars can achieve, with grade 6 generally reserved for genuinely unregistered new vehicles. Interior grades are graded separately using a letter system, with A representing the highest standard, clean and without significant wear, through B, C and D for increasing degrees of interior wear, staining, odour or damage. This car's grade 5 exterior and A interior combination, together with its essentially blank damage diagram, reflects a vehicle in outstanding, close to new condition by Japanese auction standards.
Model History
The Lamborghini Aventador was launched in 2011 as the successor to the Murciélago, built around a carbon fibre monocoque chassis and powered by the 6.5 litre L539 V12 engine. Over its production run the Aventador spawned numerous variants, including the SV, S and Ultimae, but the SVJ, introduced in 2018, stands as the most track focused and powerful naturally aspirated Aventador ever built by the factory. SVJ stands for Super Veloce Jota, a name referencing Lamborghini's historic Jota competition cars.
The SVJ's headline engineering addition was ALA 2.0, Lamborghini's second generation active aerodynamics system, which actively manages airflow and downforce across the front splitter and rear wing, including the ability to stall aerodynamic surfaces on one side of the car during cornering to improve rotation. Combined with a power output of 770 PS, four wheel steering and extensive weight saving, the SVJ set a production car lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 2018, a result that significantly raised the model's profile among enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. Lamborghini also built a strictly limited run of 63 track only SVJ 63 Edition cars to commemorate the company's founding year of 1963, though this particular car is a standard road going SVJ coupe.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
The Aventador SVJ occupies a particularly important position in Lamborghini's history, as it represents one of the final naturally aspirated V12 Lamborghinis before the brand's move toward hybridisation with the Revuelto. That alone has made SVJ values and interest in good examples increasingly strong, as enthusiasts recognise that cars combining a large displacement naturally aspirated V12, a single clutch automated gearbox, and genuinely four wheel drive supercar dynamics are unlikely to be built again.
Production numbers for the standard SVJ coupe were limited relative to mainstream supercars, and surviving examples with genuinely low mileage, minimal stone chipping, and an unmarked damage history, such as this 800 km car, are becoming increasingly difficult to source, particularly outside of Japan where cars are frequently kept in long term storage rather than driven regularly. The Nürburgring lap record achievement, the aggressive and distinctive styling, and the analogue driving experience all contribute to the SVJ's growing status among serious Lamborghini collectors globally.
Values are not guaranteed to rise, and Autoselecta makes no promises about future appreciation, but demand for genuinely original, low mileage, well documented SVJ examples with clean Japanese auction grading remains strong, and cars of this calibre, essentially new with a complete service book, are rarely available in the wider market.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
Buyers considering any Aventador SVJ should pay close attention to service history and completeness of documentation, given the complexity and cost of maintaining the V12 and ISR gearbox. On this car, the auction sheet confirms the new car service book with warranty booklet is present, which is a significant positive. The single clutch ISR gearbox requires specific attention during ownership and its mechanical character, while enjoyable, should be understood by buyers coming from dual clutch supercars. ALA active aerodynamics components and the carbon fibre monocoque should ideally be inspected by a Lamborghini specialist on arrival, as with any complex supercar.
On this specific car, buyers should note the body is finished with a matte wrap over the factory green paintwork rather than factory matte paint, as recorded on the auction sheet, and should budget for the cost of removing or maintaining this wrap as part of ownership. The fitted exhaust is a Power Craft aftermarket silencer rather than the factory original unit, and the sheet suggests, though this is not entirely certain, that the standard Lamborghini silencer may be available separately if the buyer arranges carriage. The only recorded physical imperfection anywhere on the car is a small scuff to a seat edge, noted by the inspector, and no exterior damage, repaint or panel replacement of any kind is marked on the diagram.
Why Import This Car From Japan
Japan remains one of the best sources globally for exceptional condition, genuinely low mileage supercars, as Japanese owners typically store high value vehicles carefully, drive them sparingly, and maintain comprehensive documentation. This Aventador SVJ, with just 800 km recorded and a grade 5 auction rating, exemplifies exactly why serious buyers look to Japanese auctions rather than open market listings in their own country, where equivalent condition and mileage would be extremely hard, if not impossible, to find at any price.
Buying through the Japanese auction system also provides a level of independent, standardised condition reporting that is rare in private sales anywhere in the world, giving buyers genuine transparency before they commit to bidding.
Ultimate Guide For Japanese Imports
Importing a vehicle from Japan involves purchasing through the Japanese auction system, arranging export preparation and deregistration in Japan, shipping by sea to the buyer's destination country, and then completing the relevant customs clearance, compliance and registration process specific to that country. Import rules vary considerably around the world: some countries apply age based restrictions, some require specific compliance modifications, and some apply significant duties or taxes based on engine size or vehicle value. Buyers should always confirm the exact import requirements for their own country before bidding, as these rules differ significantly from nation to nation and are frequently updated by local authorities.
Why Import Through Autoselecta
Autoselecta provides direct access to the Japanese auction network, including USS Nagoya & Hokuriku where this Aventador SVJ is listed, giving international buyers the ability to bid on vehicles that are rarely, if ever, available through conventional export listings. Every auction sheet is translated and explained in full, as shown throughout this report, so buyers understand exactly what the Japanese inspectors have recorded before they commit to bidding. Autoselecta assists with bid placement, handles all export paperwork and deregistration in Japan, arranges international shipping, and supports buyers through customs clearance and import compliance in their own country, including vehicle tracking where available. Communication is maintained throughout the entire process, from the moment a buyer expresses interest in a vehicle through to its arrival and registration at destination.

Buyers are encouraged to browse the current catalogue regularly, as exceptional cars such as this low mileage Aventador SVJ appear without long notice and move quickly once listed.
Live Auction Search
A live auction search facility is available through Autoselecta, allowing buyers to search directly across Japanese auction house listings for specific makes, models, grades, mileage ranges and auction dates, helping serious buyers identify suitable cars ahead of each week's auctions.
Auction Caution
All vehicles sold through Japanese auction houses are inspected before sale, but they remain used vehicles sold on an as inspected basis, and the auction sheet is an independent condition guide rather than a mechanical warranty. Even a car graded as highly as this Aventador SVJ, with a grade 5 rating, an A interior and an unmarked damage diagram, should still be viewed with the understanding that older or high performance vehicles can require servicing, maintenance or refurbishment after purchase, and that mechanical systems are not covered by the auction grading itself. On this particular car, the only inspector noted issue is a small scuff to a seat edge, and buyers should also be aware that the body currently wears a matte wrap over the factory green paint, and that the fitted exhaust is an aftermarket Power Craft silencer rather than the original factory unit, with the availability of the standard silencer not fully confirmed on the sheet.
