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.

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.
