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.

Advertisement: Story continues below The newest Lamborghini borrows styling cues from the limited edition Reventon, including its sharp, jagged nose-cone, pointed bonnet and oversized side air intakes.

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

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.

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.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
