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:

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.

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
