The Italian super car maker has finally unveiled the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 through photos and and new details which also include pricing information.
Most of the technical details have been available for some time now, but lets just do a recap. Power is extracted from a 6.5-litre V12 which outputs 700 horses (515 kW) and 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) of torque via a dually synchronized ISR 7-speed independent shift rod transmission from Graziano.
Like previous Lamborghinis, the Aventador name was chosen for its symbolic connection to the world of fighting bulls, sharing a name with the legendary Aventador, a trophy-winning bull in the world of Spanish bullfighting. Bred by the sons of Don Celestino Cuadri Vides, the bull that bore the number 32 took part in a notably spirited, bloody and violent battle with a torero in the town of Zaragoza, Spain that earned him the “Trofeo de la Peña La Madroñera" in 1993.[3][9]
Production will be limited to 4000 units (4099 Murciélagos have been built). The moulds used to make the carbon-fibre monocoque are expected to last 500 units each and only 8 have been made.[10] Lamborghini says that the Aventador is two generations ahead of anything else on sale, using Formula One-style suspension and a lightweight carbon fibre monocoque.[11] Stylistically, the Aventador represents an evolution of its predecessor, the Murciélago. The car's shape also borrows heavily from Lamborghini's limited-edition Reventón and their Estoque concept car
