The Bull God has Arrived

2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

This is as clear as it well get. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. As a replacement for the long gone Murcielago, this car has a lot of ground to cover if it wants to be known as a supercar great. It does have the potential though. Lamborghini's new 6.5-liter 690 horsepower V12 generates power to all four wheels, as usual. 0 to 60 is done in just 3.0 seconds on its way to a top speed of 217 MPH. With those numbers, this car might have what it takes. Let's find out in the weeks to come. It will make its official debut next week at Geneva.

Careful Lamborghini

Lamborghini really needs to watch what they print if they don't want to reveal things too early. Anyway, what you are looking at here is a leaked image of the all new complete Lamborghini Aventador, the successor to the mighty Murcielago. Under the hood is Lamborghini's all new 7.0-liter 690 horsepower V12 engine. 0 to 60 is done in just 3.0 seconds on its way to a top speed of 217 MPH. At some angles, this car does look like a Gallardo, but as long as it has that V12 under the hood, it's no baby Lambo. Geneva starts next week. By that time, we'll be able to see the car for what it really is.

More Gallardo Goodness

2012 Lamborghini Gallardo Singapore Edition

It seems Lamborghini is still trying to tease us with multiple special editions of their baby Lambo, the Gallardo. Before it was the Tricolore Edition. Now, it's the new Singapore Edition, which is a Superleggera with special red stripes on each side of the car. Of course this model is only available in Singapore since they've been in line with Lamborghini for 10 years now. Only 10 of them have been made and all have been spoken for. The price of the car is somewhat larger than the original with $15,000 of the proceeds for each example going to The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund to benefit underprivileged students. It's a brave thing to do, but honestly Lamborghini, can we see the Aventador now? Please?!?!

Happy 50!

2011 Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Concept

Not this year, but in 2013, rumor has it that Lamborghini is planning something special for its 50th Anniversary. Who knows? It might be the return of the mighty Murcielago. Maybe a special edition of the upcoming Aventador LP700-4 or the production version of this Sesto Elemento that you see above you. The only way to find out is to wait for two years. Sounds tiring, huh?

The Specs are Out

Jota or Aventador, Lamborghini's newest V12 monster, the LP700-4 is letting all its secrets out. Based off a secret pre-order page on the Lamborghini website, the car will have as much as 690 horsepower in it's new 6.5-liter V12 engine that is connected to an all new 7-speed ISR (Independent Shifting Rod) gearbox, which is supposed to be lighter and shift much quicker than a regular dual-clutch. Other secrets include the car doing 0 to 60 in less than 3 seconds on its way to a top speed of 217 MPH. This will be on quick raging bull. It's also a little lighter with a weight measure of 3,472 lbs. There's a lot of stuff about this car that I can't go into, so I'll just leave some pics here for you.
