Official unveiling at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show

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.

[Beelzebub89]

looks like they're taking the Porsche approach to design Still looks awesome though and I bet the V12 will sound amazing

[HEKT1K]

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!

[boiracer]

ass end seems too long. otherwise sexy and angry. very much a more edgified Merci/batman car.

sry bout my uber technical terms guys.....

[Birds]

This thing will decimate all.

[Branelly]

Looks amazing , i think the rear end and especially the profile shots are the highlight of the whole car.

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.

[Cowboy1600]

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.

Massive tax for motor vehicles in Singapore.

Sure looks sexy.

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

[Yo-Yo]

I love it, but I think the designer has a hard on for polygons

I still like the 'simpler' reventon design over this

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

sooooooo it looks the same as every other lambo for the last decade??

Fair enough man I know what you mean. I love manuals aswell.

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.
