Today’s picture…

Lamborghini Aventador Prototype

This isn’t any other Aventador. Shown, is the super *secret* Lamborghini Aventador prototype. Apart from the classic Aventador, this model has special wheels, which some sources say is the next step into making it into a Veyron replacement. We’ll be getting coverage on this model once more specs have been released.

Lamborghini Aventador Makes Debut

by LamboFan

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

Here we have it. The all new Lamborghini Aventador. This is the beast we’ve been waiting for, finally here. The new Lamborghini has been finally been released, yet prior to that, it’s already been sold out! For just $379,700, you could’ve brought it home. Little to late to buy now, as you can see.

Boasting just 3,472 pounds, it is made out of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP), brand new materials to Lamborghini. The power on the Lambo comes from a 6.5 liter V12 with an ouput of 700 PS *690 bhp) and 509 lb-ft of torque. The new gearbox is a 7-speed independent shift rod transmission supplied by Graziano Trasmissioni Group featuring just 50 millisecond shift times. The LP700-4 Aventador also has an intriguing Haldex all-wheel drive system.

I realized it sounds much like an Audi R8 – which does make sense knowing Lamborghini is owned and operated by Audi.

What are your thoughts? Do you think they made the right move?
