Finally. Sends his Lamborghini Murcielago have come in the years to retirement. The successor states Aventador and much tamer than its predecessor. If such it will.

In a nutshell
[+] Impressive performance, very stiff body structure, seats with good lateral support, excellent performance, precise steering, agile handling, high-revving engine, powerful sound, high individuality

[-] High price, lush maintenance costs, high consumption

A roar goes through the region Campagnano, about 30 miles north of Rome. The sports car race on the start-finish line the race track of Vallelunga and then turn into the fast right-hander. For the residents are roaring engines not unusual, for race teams and car manufacturers have on the course every once in their cars off the leash. This morning it is the new Lamborghini LP 700-4 Aventador dances here to the curves. His sound is wild and fantastic driving pleasure.

If you did not know better, we could trade the Aventador LP 700-4 for a refreshed version of small-series model Reventon. But project manager Stefano Cossalter never tires of describing the complete development of the super sports car ever again. The 33 year old, the birth of Aventador in recent years witnessed step by step. His eyes gleam when he talks about the new PS-Protz the Lamborghini and the young team in Sant 'Agata. He remembers well the first test drive the prototype on the test track in Nardo. "I was immediately smitten. The difference with the Murcielago was just incredible," says Cossalter. "The Aventador was so hard and stiff on the track. I could not believe it."

After a few laps around the twisty Vallelunga circuit can only agree with Stefano Cossalter. The slow viscous all-wheel system that includes a little voice transmission, and the strong understeer of the predecessor of the past. Hungry and unusually balanced the over 1.8 ton supersport raises sovereign in the curves. Strada in normal mode it shows almost as tame as a normal sports car from the bar. Only in sports and especially in Corsa mode ESP with an airy, he is so scathing, as most customers would expect from a Lamborghini. The surprises in the windy Murcielago-border area are forgotten.
 

High-strength carbon fiber

The construction of high-strength carbon fiber was developed with Lamborghini from scratch. The engineers attached great importance to the highly rigid frame and the passenger compartment with two-piece clear technical bonds at the current Formula 1. Even the twelve-cylinder, pushrod suspension with damping and the sequential gearbox has been developed from scratch.

The interior is - next to the chassis - the difference with the previous most apparent. Even with 1.90 meters height, you can sit in the new still comfortable. The narrower central tunnel and the geometrically-influenced bulges in the roof make a positive impact. The controls seem to last no longer, as in a Fiat-cheap model of the early 80s.

Those who choose one of 700 per year produced Aventadore decide who has the highest standards. In the garages of the customers are usually quite a number of other vehicles such as Range Rover, Porsche 911, Ferrari 599 or Rolls-Royce Phantom. "Our customers take the Aventador no long lines. Annual mileage of 1,000 or perhaps 3,000 km are not uncommon," said Stefano Cossalter. The standard seats are good, but leave some room for true sport seats with more leg support and more lateral support. The circuit fits significantly better than the Murcielago. Therefore you would want in a slightly bit Anlenkbereich term, more direct steering.

But, as befits a super athlete, wants the Aventador primarily by performance and design set the scene. The 6.5-liter V12 engine develops 700 hp. This accelerates the Aventador, thanks also to all-wheel drive and racing gear, in 2.9 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h and reaches a top speed of 350 km / h. The extra performance is a significant negative relation to consumption. So the thirst of the fighting bull fell by 20 percent to 17.2 liters. Admittedly, this purpose is interested in this segment anyway no one. Either way, it is hard to find a suitable opponent. Also because of the price which is € 313 000.
