New Lamborghini Aventador lp 700 4

Lamborghini recently unveiled the LP700-4 Aventador, which replaces the Murcielago as the Company’s flagship model. If I’m honest, I believe that it is the best and most extreme looking Lamborghini ever made. This super sports car has a greater presence than any other Lambo ever made and its performance figures are just breathtaking.

Just when you thought horse power in a production car cannot get any higher, Lamborghini busts out with an engine that produces 690 hp and 509 lb-ft of torque. The power comes from a highly engineered 6.5 liter V12 and is transferred to the road via a 7-speed independent shift rod transmission (with dual synchronizers) supplied by Graziano Trasmissioni Group. The gearbox can execute a shift in 50 milliseconds, which is the same as the cycle time for the lowest audible tone, 20 Hz. To put that into perspective, a gear shift takes approximately 100 milliseconds in a high-performance Ferrari Enzo FXX. The LP700-4 Aventador also features a Haldex all-wheel drive system which helps distribute all that power to the road.

The LP700-4 has a curb weight of just 3,472 lbs, which is down 4.6% from the Murcielago, but still 15.4% heavier than Ferrari’s Enzo flagship model. Some of the weight reduction was due to the LP700-4 having a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) monocoque structure which weighs only 324.5 lbs and partially to the light weight 505lb body.
