0-100km/h in 2.9 seconds, top speed 350km/h: Following months of teasers, leaks and spy images, Italy's latest supercar has finally been unveiled.

Following months of spy shots, spilled secrets and drip-fed information, the first official images of Lamborghini's new Aventador LP700-4 have finally been released.

The Aventador will replace Lamborghini's ageing Murcielago range-topper. Significant attention has been paid to cutting the weight of the new model, including a carbon-fibre constructed underbody and a new, lighter engine.

Power, however, hasn't been sacrificed - the all-wheel-drive Aventador makes use of a 6.5-litre V12 engine that produces 525kW of power and 690Nm of torque mated to a new seven-speed automatic transmission. That combination will propel the new Lamborghini Aventador from 0-100km/h in just 2.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 350km/h.

Inside, the Aventador features a digital touch-screen media panel, digital instrument cluster, racing seats and an electronic handbrake (the first in any Lamborghini).

The Lamborghini Aventador is due to go on sale in Australia later this year, with an expected price tag of about $850,000.

The Aventador will be officially unveiled at the Geneva motor show this week.

I think it looks great. Looking forward to seeing it in different colours as I think the red doesn't do it the best justice. Bit suprised it still looks very similar to the Murcielago/Reventon but I suppose they had a good thing going with the overall design.

The rear is hideous!! I am a massive Lambo fanboi but I cannot stand it... in profile too the rear section just looks awkward

The speedo cluster is average, and they tried to go too 'fighter pilot cockpit' with all the instruments on the angled centre console section, not a fan.

The rest of it though is pure sex.

Not sure if want.

When I was back in Singapore just before Christmas it was announced that there were already 50 of these on order for Singapore alone, AND they cost over $1.15million there. The people buying them hadn't even the finished product yet! rolleyes.gif

seven-speed automatic transmission

Fail :down:

If i were to be paying that kinda money for it, id atleast want the OPTION of having a manual, i dont care how good it is, i want a CLUTCH lol

Otherwise, Approved :yes:

Agreed, it looks like one of the singing-fish-on-a-plaque you see at the local pub. Who cares i'll never own one.

Every inch of that car is pure, unadulterated class and sex.

I was worried the might stuff up the Murcie replacement.. They didn't.

Seriously dude, drive a sports car with a 7 speed DCT, you will change your mind. Shit is epic.

Ahhhh im just old fashioned Phil, I like to have control MECHANICALLY not digitally lol

Maybe I should have made it clearer earlier, but im not knocking the transmission, just think you should get the option lol :thumbsup:

Fair enough man I know what you mean. I love manuals aswell.

sooooooo it looks the same as every other lambo for the last decade??

Yeah it suprised me aswell. I was really thinking it would be a big change but if I hadn't known it was a completely new model I would have just thought it was another limited edition Murcielago.

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
