Lamborghini Takes 2012 Aventador from Vision to Reality

Before a machine has ever stamped a part, before a seamstress has ever sown two pieces of yellow leather together, before a piece of carbon fiber has ever been molded, every supercar comes into reality from a piece of paper, an idea... a dream even.

Lamborghini has just released a new video for the Aventador in which it tries to show how the car came to be one of the sought-after cars in the world. It all starts with a piece of paper and a few lines that quickly grow into the proportions now familiar to supercar fans across the world. The project then moves to the 3D model stage and a full-sized prototype version of the car.

We then get a few shots of the Aventador being put together at the Sant'Agata Bolognese factory. From the advanced carbon-fiber tub, to the new V12 engine and the all-Italian interior, everything is checked with pain-staking attention to detail.

Lamborghini is going to great lengths to reveal the technical details of its successor to the Murcielago supercar, the Aventador LP700-4. The car features a new block and an Independent Shifting Rod (ISR) automated manual gearbox, plus F1-inspired pushrod suspension. The new 6.5-liter V12 produces 700 horsepower at 8,250 rpm, while maximum torque of 508 pound-feet is available at 5,500 rpm.

The central structure of the car is made entirely from carbon fiber and has been designed as a monocoque. Lamborghini boasts that all its carbon fiber components are developed completely in-house. Too bad they charge you an arm and a leg!

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.
