It is a sunny afternoon in November and we are in Sant’Agata Bolognese. Parked in front of us, awaiting our arrival is the most anticipated supercar of 2011; the Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador. Dressed in Nero Aldebaran, the test car offered us our long-awaited chance to take the new Lamborghini supercar for a spin around the Italian countryside.

The Aventador is a massive leap forwards in terms of design and technology. It’s the result of an entirely new project, but at the same time it’s a direct and consistent continuation of Lamborghini’s brand values, according to Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. The flagship of the Sant’Agata Bolognese manufacturer is the latest in a long line of V12-engined supercars, starting with the 350GT in 1963.

As a replacement for the ten-year-old Murciélago, it bears a close family resemblance to its predecessor not only because of its mid-mounted V12-engine, four-wheel drive system and scissor doors, but mostly because of its visual similarities and its sinister looking presence. The resemblance can also be found in the name! 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. Having the courage to go up against a new world of super sports cars the significance of the name is clear.

I`m no Lambo fan but this one is just out of this world

When I saw it for the first time in the flesh I was simply stunned by its looks.
It`s SO wide and SO flat,..and all those edges and vents,..badass!

 

Good God, in gloss black it looks like it would happily kick your ass just for looking at it wrong.

 

All black is so sick, the way I'd get mine.

 

Love reading threads like this. Can't wait for my morning drive!!

 

Looks great in black, I've only seen it in white which is dull.

 

And the video... Just as a nice extra...
