Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

The LP700-4 Aventador arrives a known entity but still one of the most impressive pieces of machinery of the show

The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 has been revealed at a Geneva pre-show event.

It's matter of looking now as we already now all there is to know about the car and its impressive construction.

The LP700-4 features a curb weight of just 1575 kg (3,472 pounds) due to its carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) monocoque structure which tips the scales at only 147.5 kilograms (324.5 lbs). The whole body-in-white weighs but 229.5 kilograms (505 lbs).

Power comes from a 6.5 liter V12 with an ouput of 700 PS (690 bhp / 515 kW) and 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) of torque. Gearbox is a 7-speed independent shift rod transmission (with dual synchronizers) supplied by Graziano Trasmissioni Group with 50 millisecond shift times. The LP700-4 Aventador also features a Haldex all-wheel drive system.

All those mechanics are good for a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph).

Finish options will include the Arancio Argos orange paint in a pearl effect and bi-color interiors with Alcantara.
