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.

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
