COMMENCE OF DARK ERA....LAMBORGHINI - THE AVENTADOR

JUST CAUGHT LAMBORGHINI TESTING THEIR NEW PROJECT

-THE AVENTADOR-, successor to the MURCIELAGO.

LAMBORGHIN managed to hold some of its information back during development, but as it nears production and unveiling, the dam has broken wide open: the ordering guide, with full specs, is loose on the Internet.

  

POWERTRAIN -?  As we all expected,

A 6.5-liter V-12 rated at 700 metric horsepower, or about 690 of our American horses.

WEIGHT -? The AVENTADOR tips the scales at 3,472 pounds,

With 43 percent of that over the front axle, and 57 percent over the rear.

It will be a big, low car, at 106 inches wheelbase,

188 inches long, almost 80 inches wide and just 44 inches tall.

    

FUEL EFFICIENCY -? Fuel efficient it is not, 
drinking down its 23.77 gallon tank at a rate of 13.5 mpg combined.

But fuel efficiency isn't the only kind of efficiency: the Aventador will slice through the air with ease, hitting 62 mph in a crushing 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of 217 mph.

ACCELERATION - ?
That massive acceleration is thanks in part to its Haldex electronically-controlled all-wheel-drive system and the new seven-speed ISR robotized gearbox.

Sticky 255/35 tire on 19-inch wheels up front and 335/30 20-inchers out back hold the corners.









BREAKING -?

Braking is handled by massive 15.7-inch and 14.9-inch front/rear carbon ceramic rotors clamped by six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers.

That is really all the core information, but whenever we got more news we will update you.
