With the Aventador LP
700-4, Automobili Lamborghini is redefining the very pinnacle of the
world super sports car market – brutal power, outstanding
lightweight engineering and phenomenal handling precision are
combined with peerless design and the very finest equipment to
deliver an unparalleled driving experience. With the Aventador,
Lamborghini is taking a big step into the future – and building on
the glorious history of the brand with the next automotive legend.
The first customers will take delivery of the new Lamborghini
Aventador LP 700-4 in late summer 2011.
The technology package of the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 is
utterly unique. It is based on an innovative monocoque made from
carbon-fiber that combines exceptional lightweight engineering with
the highest levels of stiffness and safety. The new twelve-cylinder
with 6.5 liters’ displacement and 515 kW / 700 hp brings together
the ultimate in high-revving pleasure with astonishing low-end
torque. Thanks to a dry weight of only 1,575 kilograms (3,472 lb),
which is extremely low for this class of vehicle, the
weight-to-power ratio stands at only 2.25 kilograms per hp (4.96
lb/hp). Even the fantastic 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration figure
of just 2.9 seconds and the top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph) do not
fully describe the Aventador’s extreme performance. And yet, fuel
consumption and CO2 emissions are down by around 20 percent compared
with its predecessor, despite the considerable increase in power
(+8%).
The ISR transmission is unique among road-going vehicles,
guaranteeing the fastest shifting time (only 50 milliseconds) and a
highly emotional shift feel, while the lightweight chassis with
pushrod suspension delivers absolute handling precision and
competition-level performance. The expressively-designed interior
offers hi-tech features ranging from the TFT cockpit display with
Drive Select Mode system. The Aventador will be built to the very
highest quality standards in an all-new production facility in
Sant’Agata Bolognese.
“With the Aventador LP 700-4, the future of the super sports car is
now part of the present. Its exceptional package of innovative
technologies is unique, its performance simply overwhelming,” says
Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.
“The Aventador is a jump of two generations 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. It is extreme in its design and its performance,
uncompromising in its standards and technology, and unmistakably
Italian in its style and perfection. Overall, the dynamics and
technical excellence of the Aventador LP 700-4 makes it unrivalled
in the worldwide super sports car arena.”
Aventador: the name of one of the
most courageous of all bulls
According to its
tradition, Lamborghini’s new flagship bears the name of a bull –
naturally, a particularly courageous specimen from the world of the
Spanish Corrida. 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.
A sculpture of extreme dynamics
For Lamborghini, design
is always the beauty of aggressive power, the elegance of
breathtaking dynamics. From the very first glance, the new Aventador
is unmistakably a Lamborghini, clothed in the brand’s characteristic
and distinctive design language – with its extremely powerful
proportions, its exact lines and precise surfaces, and with taut
muscularity in every one of its details. The designers in the Centro
Stile Lamborghini have carefully developed this design language to
give the Aventador a significant new edge. It is an avantgarde work
of art, an incredibly dynamic sculpture, from the sharply honed
front end through the extremely low roofline to the distinctive rear
diffuser. Every line has a clear function, every form is dictated by
its need for speed, yet the overall look is nothing less than
spectacular and breathtaking.
The doors open upward – of course
Truly impressive
proportions come from an overall length of 4,78 meters (188.19 in.)
matched with an impressive width of 2,26 meters (88.98 in.)
including the exterior mirrors, and further accentuated by an
extremely low height of just 1.136 mm (44.72 in.). It goes without
saying that both doors of the carbon-fiber monocoque open upward – a
feature that was first introduced in the now legendary Countach and
then used for subsequent V12 models such as Diablo and Murciélago.
However, the Aventador also evokes its immediate predecessor the
Murciélago – electronically managed air intakes open depending on
the outdoor temperature and the need for cooling air,ensuring
maximum aerodynamic efficiency. And for those whishing to flaunt the
heart of their Lamborghini, the optional transparent engine bonnet
exhibits the twelve-cylinder engine like a technical work of art in
a display case.
Exclusive and high-tech interior
The Aventador’s spacious
interior combines the fine exclusivity of premium materials and
perfect Italian craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology and
generous equipment. The red switch cover on the broad center tunnel
encloses the start button used to awaken the twelve-cylinder. The
interior is dominated by a next-generation dashboard – as in a
modern airplane, the instruments are presented on a TFT-LCD screen
using innovative display concepts. A second screen is dedicated to
the standard-fit multimedia and navigation system.
Carbon-fiber monocoque
The new Lamborghini
flagship has a full monocoque. The entire occupant cell, with tub
and roof, is one single physical component. This ensures extreme
rigidity and thus outstanding driving precision, as well as an
extremely high level of passive safety for the driver and his
passenger. The entire monocoque weighs only 147.5 kilograms (325.18
lb).
The monocoque, together with the front and rear Aluminium frames,
features an impressive combination of extreme torsional stiffness of
35,000 Newton meters per degree and weighs only 229.5 kilograms
(505.9 lb).
Maximum revs, amazing sound
For the Aventador LP
700-4, the engineers in Lamborghini’s R&D Department have developed
a completely new high-performance power unit – an extremely powerful
and high-revving, but very compact power unit. At 235 kilograms (518
lb), it is also extremely lightweight. A V12 with 515 kW (700 hp) at
8,250 rpm sets a whole new benchmark, even in the world of super
sports cars. The maximum torque output is 690 Newton meters (509
lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm. The extremely well-rounded torque curve, the
bull-like pulling power in every situation, the spontaneous
responsiveness and, last but not least, the finely modulated but
always highly emotional acoustics are what make this engine a
stunning power plant of the very highest order.
Innovative transmission for
maximum performance
Engineers at Lamborghini
have created the perfect mate for the new twelve-cylinder engine
with the highly innovative ISR (Independent Shifting Rods)
transmission. The development objective was clearly formulated – to
build not only the fastest robotized gearbox, but also to create the
world’s most emotional gear shift. Compared with a dual-clutch
transmission, not only is the ISR gearbox much lighter, it also has
smaller dimensions than a conventional manual unit – both key
elements in the field of lightweight engineering for super sports
cars.
Refined and safe with all-wheel
drive
This kind of extreme
power must be delivered reliably to the road. The driver of the
Aventador LP 700-4 can depend fully on its permanent all-wheel drive
– indicated by the 4 in the model designation. In the driveline, an
electronically controlled Haldex coupling distributes the forces
between front and rear. In a matter of milliseconds, this coupling
adapts the force distribution to match the dynamic situation. A
self-blocking rear differential together with a front differential
electronically controlled by ESP make for even more dynamic
handling. The Drive Select Mode System enables the driver to choose
vehicle characteristics (engine, transmission, differential,
steering and dynamic control) from three settings – Strada (road),
Sport and Corsa (track) – to suit his individual preferences.
Pushrod suspension
Lamborghini has equipped
its new V12 super sports car with an innovative and highly
sophisticated suspension concept. The pushrod spring and damper
concept was inspired by Formula 1 and tuned perfectly to meet the
needs of a high-performance road-going vehicle. Together with
aluminum double wishbone suspension and a carbon-fiber ceramic brake
system, this lightweight chassis represents a further aspect of the
new flagship’s unique technology concept.
Extensive assistance and safety
systems
In the hands of its
driver, the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 is a high-precision
machine – spontaneous, direct and always reliable. The driver is
also assisted by the latest electronic systems such as the
incredibly sporty, adjustable ESP system. When it comes to passive
safety, front, head-thorax and knee airbags play their part
alongside the extremely stiff carbon-fiber cell.
A rich and wide-ranging
individualization program
A Lamborghini should
always fit perfectly with the style and preferences of its owner. To
this end, the range of individualization options is virtually
inexhaustible. There is a selection of 13 production paint colors to
choose from, three of which are highly sophisticated matt tones. A
choice of two-tone interiors are offered with the “Sportivo” and
“Elegante” versions, while a premium audio system and reversing
camera are among the many technology options. And of course, the “Ad
Personam” individualization program knows no limits when it comes to
colors and materials.
