Lamborghini Teases Aventador in Camo

The Italian carmaker has recently released something that we can only describe as an Official Lamborghini Aventador LP700-5 Spyshot. We’ve got to commend the company for the way they keep interest peaked without revealing to much about the car’s looks. This is the clearest indication we have right now of what the Murcielago replacement will look like when it will be unveiled in Geneva next month. We can already tell you that the Aventador will be powered by a fresh V12 created by Sant’Agata’s finest engineers, and that the power will be sent through a new gearbox to all wheels. However, what we really want is the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, undisguised and with all the details in plain sight. The 6.5-liter V12 beast will deliver 700 hp to all four wheels via a new, 7-speed automatic transmission with ISR (Independent Shifting Rods) that can change gears in 50 milliseconds. This is enough to launch the car from 0 to 100 Km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 2.9 seconds. Lamborghini says the Aventador will also use a pushrod suspension, featuring a unique damper concept inspired by Formula 1 in order to deliver race-car precision. Thus, the springs and dampers are not placed on the wheel mounts anymore, but connected to the bodyshell structure in an inboard configuration. They are placed transversely in front of the windscreen at the front, and close to the engine at the rear. autoevolution will be attending the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, so stay tuned for some real up close and personal shots of the vehicles, as well as for first-hand details of the motorized contraptions presented at the event.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
