We’ve just received some brand new spyshots of the Murcielago replacement undergoing winter testing. These are the most revealing photos yet of Lamborghini’s new V12 supercar, as it has traded in the old flat black camouflage pannels for this swirly black and white pattern.
We won’t get a chance to see the car fully revealed until it makes its world debut at the 2011 Geneva Show, yet we can still tell you a great deal about it. From the front-angle shot we can clearly see the LP700-4 seems to get Reventon-inspired lines, particularly at the front end, with the stealth fighter trapezoidal shapes and angular lines.
We don’t know if this is the final shape of the car, but we are really digging the rear end as well. There’s a big diffuser to suck the car down at speed, a wing to press the rear end down and a new shape for the exhaust, which looks less flashy.
The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 will be powered by a 6.5-liter V12 engine making 690 horsepower and 509 lb-ft (690 Nm) of torque. This is mated to the company’s new ISR (Independent Shifting Rod) transmission.
The supercar only weighs 1,575 kg (3,475 lbs) and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds. Lamborghini says it is good for a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph), which makes it more than a match for its competitors. The model is scheduled to make its debut at the Geneva auto show in less than a month.
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.
