MONACO BODYGUARDS™ FACTORY NEWS
Just spoke to Lamborghini a few days ago. It seems like many Aventador deliveries are late due to the eartquake in May.
I am going back to the factory in few weeks time, let us see what the status will be by then.
And the demand is still VERY strong. The above will of course affect the roadster introduction.

If you own an early Aventador there might be a software update for you car!!
Call your dealership and ask them to run your VIN number to check for updates.
I just tested the updated version and WHAT a difference! Some were complaining that the gearbox was jerky. No more... The gearbox is totally transformed, the Aventador drives like a completely different car. Almost dual clutch standard. Feels much faster and less impact on shifts.
It is now very smooth and the Corsa mode now shifts faster than "Lucky Luke".... Even Strada is shifting faster, almost no pauses between shifts.

Not only the software will be updated but a few more things.
I was told to keep quiet for now about the rest of the details....
and the the Swedish Auto Motor & Sport suddenly put it on print. So here it is:
MY2013
* Updated gearbox software.
* Exterior Carbon Option.
* New option wheels, Dione. 20 x9 (255/20ZR20) and 21x13 (355/25ZR21). Available in silver, titanium and black.
* Stiffer springs and retuned dampers that will deliver a more comfortable driving experience.
* New / revised instrument cluster. It enlarges the numbers on the speedometer.
* Multi-cylinder displacement system that deactivates six-cylinders when they aren't needed.
The system will reportedly be standard and paired with engine start/stop technology. When the driver hits the accelerator, the engine will react in just 180 milliseconds. Interestingly, it will be powered by a capacitor instead of a battery which saves approximately 3 kg (7 lbs).
Thanks to all these changes, the Aventador will reportedly average 16.0 L/100km (14.7 mpg US / 17.6 mpg UK) with CO2 emissions of 370 g/km. This compares to the current model's rating of 17.2 L/100km (13.7 mpg US / 16.4 mpg UK) with CO2 emissions of 398 g/km.

What was the combined fuel consumption ( metric fuel milage ) for the Murcielago and the LP 640 ?
I guess it was around 22-25 L/100 km for the Murcielago 2006 I had. That car was thirsty...
Anybody with the exact number?
