The Geneva 2011 Motor Show has seen the debut of the latest Lamborghini supercar, called Aventador LP 700-4, that goes on sale this summer and translates into a production vehicle some of the design elements and the technologies previewed by the Reventón and the Sesto Elemento Concept.
The exterior design is characterized by the extreme, razor-sharp lines inspired by modern aeronautics.
The roof has a specific geometry that carries on the main design theme while providing more headroom for the passengers.
The doors are deeply recessed and open upwards – a tradition started with the Countach and carried on with the Diablo and the Murciélago.
The body design features many aerodynamics-driven elements, from the flat underbody to the electronically-controlled rear spoiler and air openings framed in black – matched by the dark alloy large wheels – 19-inch at the front and 20-inch at the rear.
The interior is also inspired by the arrow-theme and is dominated by a next-generation dashboard, with the instruments presented on a TFT-LCD screen using innovative display concepts.
A second screen is dedicated to the standard-fit multimedia and navigation system.
The Aventador LP 700-4 is based on a new carbon fiber monocoque, a single component that integrates the passenger cell, with tub and roof and ensures extreme rigidity and a high level of passive safety.
The entire structure weighs only 147.5 kilograms (325.18 lb) and is coupled with front and rear aluminum frames, forming a chassis with a torsional stiffness of 35,000 Newton meters per degree and a weight of 229.5 kilograms (505.9 lb).
The new Lamborghini supercar is powered by a new twelve-cylinder engine with 515 kW / 700 hp.
The unit is coupled with ISR (Independent Shifting Rods) transmission which features fast shifting times (only 50 milliseconds).
The chassis features pushrod spring and dampers – inspired by Formula 1 – with aluminum double wishbone suspension and carbon-fiber ceramic brake system.
The total dry weight of the car is limited to 1,575 kg.
The main performances are a 0-100 km/h sperint time of just 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 350 km/h.
The first deliveries of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 are expected in late summer 2011.
According to tradition, ‘Aventador’ was the name of a bull that entered into battle in October 1993 at the Saragossa Arena, earning the “Trofeo de la Peña La Madroñera” for its outstanding courage.
