Lamborghini Aventador will get your juices flowing and boost your chances on Tinder

THEY say money can’t buy you love. But it will get you a roll in the hay with someone you meet online.

According to a study, posing with a nice car on Tinder increases your chances of a swipe right by 25 per cent. So I thought I’d put it to the test.

My mates at Lamborghini were good enough to lend me a very nice car — this Aventador SVJ Roadster — to see if I’d get more matches than an identical profile without a car.

What Tinderella didn’t know was that it was a £392,000 Press car on Italian plates.

Now, I know you’re dying to know the answer. So I won’t delay. I got 36 matches with the Lambo in a week — and 16 without. I’m rubbish at maths but that’s easily more than 50 per cent.

The truth is, I could have arranged a dozen post-lockdown dates but it would have been utterly pointless. I’d have spent all night looking over her shoulder admiring the car outside.

I mean, just L-O-O-K at it. If a Lamborghini Aventador doesn’t get your juices going, nothing will.

I absolutely love them. It’s not just the cartoon looks or the noise or the hilarious speeds. Everything about an Aventador makes me happy.
There’s nothing on the road today that shouts as loudly . . . except a McLaren Senna, maybe.
I was rolling up the M1 on my way home from Silverstone and every other car was coming alongside to take a video or trying to goad me into a race.

No, mate, I’m not playing. This car does 217mph. I win. I’ll stick to 70mph and preserve my licence and my livelihood. You run along now. Mummy’s making your tea.

Now, if you think the standard Aventador is pure theatre, this is the encore. This is the pin-up Super Veloce Jota ultra-light version with the roof cut off. Lambo is building 800 at £392,000 a pop — but you’d easily top £460,000 with extras.

As you’d expect, it’s all terribly clever, with active dampers, four-wheel steering, four-wheel drive and aero vectoring to slice it through the air at supersonic speeds.

But it’s just as trouser-tightening at zero miles per hour, with swing-up doors and a spectacular cockpit to match. As is supercar tradition, it’s tight for space, rear visibility is comical and there is nowhere to stash a phone. But really, who cares?

It looks like the flight deck of a jet fighter with its red starter flap and PlayStation driver’s screen. You sit lower than a snake’s belly in this car — ready to pilot a machine, if you know what I mean.

People often ask: “What car would you buy if you won the Lottery?”

I’d crawl over broken glass with my pants pulled down to own one. Especially an SVJ.
