Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 vs Lamborghini Aventador SVJ — Which S2 Class AWD vs AWD Is Better in FH6?

Two very different approaches to going fast. The Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 is AWD with 802 hp, the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ is AWD with 770 hp. Here's which one wins — and why.

Putting the Lamborghini Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 against the Lamborghini Lamborghini Aventador SVJ is one of those comparisons that doesn't have a clean answer until you've run real laps back to back. The Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 puts down 802 hp from a 6.5L V12 Hybrid, weighs 1,595 kg, and drives the AWD wheels. The Lamborghini Aventador SVJ counters with 770 hp from a 6.5L Naturally Aspirated V12, tipping the scales at 1,525 kg through the AWD wheels. On paper they look close enough that you'd think it comes down to preference. It doesn't — I've tested both extensively and the gaps are real, sometimes surprising, sometimes exactly where you'd expect.

In FH6 specifically, these two cars interact with the updated physics engine very differently. The tire model changes, the weight transfer rework, the differential behavior — all of it shifts the balance between AWD and AWD in ways that weren't true in FH5. I spent a full evening hot-lapping both on the same circuits back to back, and what I found changed which one I'd recommend depending on what you're trying to achieve.

Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 — The Lamborghini Contender

The poster car reborn — 802 hp hybrid V12 wrapped in retro-futuristic bodywork that honors the original wedge-shaped icon.

The Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4's steering is honest, not chatty. It tells you what you need to know — when the front tires are approaching their limit — without the constant stream of surface detail that some RWD cars transmit. On a controller, the impulse triggers activate progressively; a light buzz means 'approaching limit,' full vibration means 'you're already understeering, fix it.' On a wheel, dial the rotation to 540 degrees. The factory 900-degree setting makes the car feel lazy on turn-in because the steering ratio was designed for real-world speeds, not FH6's arcade-leaning physics. Once you find the right wheel setting, the car's communication improves dramatically.

Lamborghini Aventador SVJ — The Lamborghini Contender

If you're sleeping on this car because it 'only' has 770 hp, you're making a mistake. This thing punches way above its weight class.

The Lamborghini Aventador SVJ won't dance like a RWD car. Accept that upfront and you'll appreciate what it does instead: it demolishes lap times through consistency. Every corner exit is identical. The front tires pull you through understeer moments that would have spun a rear-drive car two corners ago. In FH6's variable weather — where a dry race can turn wet mid-lap — that predictability converts to positions gained while others are pirouetting into the scenery. The tradeoff is feel. The steering filters out some of the chassis nuance that RWD competitors serve up raw. You won't get the delicate, fingertip balance of a car rotating around your hips. What you get in return is the confidence to push harder, brake later, and commit to corners with less mental overhead.

Verdict: Which One Should You Pick?

Here's the honest answer after testing both cars back to back on the same circuits. The "better" car depends entirely on what you're driving for.

Pick the Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 if: you prioritize cornering precision over straight-line speed. you race on tracks with long straights where top speed matters more. you want consistent launches and all-weather grip.

Pick the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ if: you prioritize cornering precision over straight-line speed. you race on tracks with long straights where top speed matters more. you want consistent launches and all-weather grip.

If I could only keep one, I'd pick the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ. Both are competitive in the S2 class meta though, and either one will podium consistently if you build it right. My advice: test both at the Autoshow, run a few laps on your favorite circuit, and trust the stopwatch. The numbers don't lie — even when your heart wants them to.
