Lamborghini Jota: What To Expect

[JDLM]

http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/12/2010/02/340x_lamborghini_jota_01.jpg

These days, when a new car's more powerful than the one it replaces, the advantage is usually limited by an increase in weight. Not the Lamborghini Jota, the bull-headed brand's Murciélago replacement. It should be lighter and make 700 HP.

For starters, lets talk about weight savings. We're told the Jota will benefit from Lambo-owning Audi's expertise in both direct fuel injection and aluminum construction. The current Murciélago uses a steel-tube frame with structural elements composed of carbon fiber. The body is also a mix of metal and carbon, with relatively heavy items like the roof still being made from steel. On the Jota, we're told by our sources aluminum is expected to be used extensively and we should expect the ratio of carbon to metal to increase, with most of that metal being lighter aluminum.

There's also an all-new direct-injection V12 planned, with most Lambo watchers indicating a power figure in the 700 HP range. The current Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce makes the most power in the Murci range — 661 HP — thanks to a 6.5-liter V12. The lighter, more powerful Jota should be able to eclipse that car's 3.2-second 0-to-60 MPH time and 213 MPH top speed.

There's also talk of an all-new all-wheel drive system being developed with Haldex. Haldex is the company responsible for the Saab 9-3 Turbo X's torque-vectoring rear differential and as systems like that are becoming increasingly fashionable in performance circles, it seems plausible that torque vectoring could be coming to the Jota. Torque vectoring works by directing power to individual wheels with the most available grip. In practice, it works like stability control, but helps the driver drive faster rather than slowing them down. It makes controlled slides easy in big, heavy vehicles like the BMW X6 M, so it should make the light, low Jota amazingly capable — or at least amazingly capable of not killing its wealthy owners outright.

The "Jota" name was first used on the Lamborghini Miura SVJ, "J" for "Jota," a high-po version of the plain ol' Miura that became one of the sexiest, most desirable vehicles ever made. That gives the Jota a lot to live up to. We hope it does.

Nice! The bumper reminds me of the LP560-4 bumper, which I love!

reminds me of the 4 door concept they had. what happened to that thing?

Stupid idea was stupid.
Hopefully they scrapped it.

[early93viper]

I don't know how they are going to make a better design than the Murci. I love the way that car looks.

The only 4 door concept i remember was the Portofino. The two rear doors opened up and opposite the fronts, but without any b pillars, it was wide open with only the seats keeping you from skateboarding through the car.

It actually did go into production. After some trimming, it became the Chrysler Intrepid, and Avenger, lol.

Lamborghini Jota set to replace Murcielago in 2011

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/04/03-lambo-jota-spy-kgp-april-630op.jpg

Nine years ago the Lamborghini Murcielago replaced the Diablo as the marque's biggest bull, and in the automotive world – even in the rarified supercar realm – that's a lifetime and a half. Given the Murcie's age and the planet's ever-tightening emissions standards, it should come as no surprised that Lamborghini is hard at work on the Murcielago's successor. And along with a new name, the Jota will pack more power, less weight and a range of high-tech appointments.

Although the camouflage doesn't divulge much in the way of the Jota's exterior, expect certain elements of the Reventon to carry over to the largest Lambo. However, we suspect that advanced aerodynamics (and likely some active elements) will find their way onto the Jota, toning down Lamborghini's patented extreme styling (think McLaren MP4-12C with more creases and LEDs).

More important than the exterior (or the interior, which will reportedly ditch the offset driving position), is the all-new V12 nestled amidships. Early reports indicate that the new 7.0-liter V12 will put out over 700 horsepower and 520 pound-feet of torque to a new seven-speed automated manual transmission, with a sequential 'box with the same number of ratios available as an option. Lamborghini has apparently deemed the use of a dual-clutch tranny to be too much of a hastle, and as reported previously, a traditional gated manual won't find its way into future Lambos.

With a curb weight of around 3,300 pounds, it's safe to assume that the carbon fiber chassis Jota will be able to break the 60 mph mark in around three seconds, hit 100 mph in around six ticks and top out at 220 mph. In keeping with recent tradition, all-wheel drive will be standard – this time an adaption of Audi's Quattro system – complete with a new torque-vectoring differential measuring power to the rear wheels.

Considering the current pace of development and Lamborghini's penchant for unveiling a new model at every major auto show, the Jota should make its debut later this year at the Paris Motor Show or sometime in early 2011, with sales beginning in the middle of next year.

[kcshaner]

Hopefully the Jota replacing the Merci will drive down the price of the Merci so my 4 year plan to own one can actually happen (fingers crossed).

Considering how in love I am with the Merci and Revention, I cannot even begin to imagine the boner I will have for this car. 700hp.....yummy.

Lamborghini has just begun testing on its Murcielago replacement, and we have the latest photos of a development vehicle testing on a top-secret track. The latest spy shots show the next-generation supercar has sprouted a new rear wing.
Rumored to be called “Jota,” our latest spy shots give a nice feel for the new Lambo’s outrageous profile and its rakish surface development.
The Jota nameplate finds its roots in one of the most storied Lamborghinis to have ever existed, the Miura. The Lamborghini Miura was produced between 1966 and 1972, and represented what many today believe to be the birth of the two-seater, high-performance, mid-engine sports car. In 1970, a Lamborghini test driver named Bob Wallace used a special test mule that was named Lamborghini Miura Jota. The mule was eventually sold, and was tragically later burned to the ground after crashing on the ring road around Brescia.
The Jota will be similar in size to the Murciélago, but this monster is expected to be much lighter and sit lower than the current Lambo range-topper. The Jota will feature an even more powerful V12 with direct-injection, rumored to be good for around 700 horsepower.
If the weight savings are truly achieved, along with the incredible power output of 700 hp, expect this Lamborghini to be truly worthy of exotic supercar status. Reports suggest that the Jota will switch to an aluminum space frame instead of the current steel tub frame. The body will take some influence both from the Reventón and the Estoque, and most body parts will be made of carbon fiber. Roof and doors will likely be made from aluminum. Of course, with 700 horsepower the Jota will feature all-wheel drive, and some rumors are suggesting a new all-wheel drive system being co-developed by Swedish company Haldex and Lamborghini.
Our previous illustration was created prior to Leftlane obtaining spy shots of the Jota in testing, and thus a few changes were necessary to reflect what is known of the Jota. The latest illustration gives the most accurate representation of the final product expected to be released by Lamborghini based on the latest design language coming from the Italian automaker, in addition to what could be seen in the latest round of spy shots.

Lamborghini Gives A Tiny Glimpse Of 'Jota' Murcielago Successor



June 1st, 2010 A new top-of-the-line Lamborghini is coming--that's no secret. This teaser image doesn't show us anything, really, either. Our spy shots have revealed more of what to expect of the car. But according to the info that accompanies the image, the car will be presented to select dealers and clients this July, meaning it's ever-so-close to the final version. The public reveal and launch of the car isn't planned to take place until the Paris Auto Show this September, however. We may have to wait until then to see the car, though there's always the possibility of leaked images or barely-disguised prototypes being spied in the mean time. No new details of the car come with the leak, so we're left with the previous speculation that the car will sport a large-displacement V-12 engine with direct injection to improve both power and fuel economy. Power output is expected to be in the 670-700 horsepower neighborhood, with 480-500 pound feet of torque on tap. Power will be routed to all four wheels through an automatic transmission: either an evolution of the e-gear system currently in use or a new dual-clutch unit. Other rumors surrounding the Jota, as the Murcielago's replacement is known, include the possible addition of a hybrid powertrain to some models. Stop-start, brake-energy regeneration, and other fuel/emissions saving technologies are also possible. If the hybrid version does come, expect it several years after the 2011 sales launch of the standard car--probably around 2014 or 2015.

Lamborghini releases second Paris teaser shot, talks handling and acceleration

Another day, another look at the upcoming Lamborghini Jota (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/jota). According to the press blast, the newest member of the Raging Bull family will be the beginning of something new for the company. Instead of trying to cram as much speed as possible into the chassis, the engineers at Sant'Agata are looking to put top speed on the back burner in favor of vehicle design, acceleration and, get this, handling. How do they plan to do that? By ditching a significant amount of weight. The company says that on average, its products now weigh 1,100 pounds more than they did 25 years ago thanks to additional safety equipment and creature comforts.

In order to help balance the scales, the company plans to get serious about extensively using carbon fiber to slim the waist line of all of its future products. We certainly like the sound of that.

Of course, increasing acceleration and handling by decreasing weight has never been the kind of thing to hurt our feelings, either. Hit the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/14/lamborghini-releases-second-paris-teaser-shot-talks-handling-an/#continued) to read Lambo's sports car manifesto for yourself.

2012 Lamborghini Jota teasers leaked? (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/19/2012-lamborghini-jota-teasers-leaked/)

The Internet is hard at work again, and you know what that means: in this case, fuzzy images of things that might or might not be legit Lamborghini (http://www.autoblog.com/make/lamborghini) shots. With the aid of Google Translate, an Italian site says it came across these shots "while wandering the net," and wonders what they might be. A logical guess might be the Murcielago (http://www.autoblog.com/model/murcielago) successor codenamed Jota (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/jota), but there's little to recommend that guess and a lot to discount it.

In the front aspect there is a row of LEDs flanking a central scoop, but no headlights can be discerned. In back there's an Estoque (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/estoque)-esque taillight treatment and a beautiful set of haunches, but the tailpipe positioning is awkward, both how high it is and how far to the left. And there's that "20122012" at the top, and what looks like a magnification cursor in the center of both photos.

Yet while we can't say this passes any tests, if the back of the next Lambo looks anything like this we'll be very pleased indeed.

Lamborghini Aventador Is The New Jota (http://jalopnik.com/5689092/lamborghini-aventador-is-the-new-jota)

http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/12/2010/11/500x_lamborghini_aventador.jpg (http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/12/2010/11/lamborghini_aventador.jpg)Lamborghini's filed a claim with the U.S. trademark office (http://www.trademarkia.com/aventador-85113934.html) on the name "Aventador." Some believe (http://www.autogespot.com/nl/item/9382/nieuwe-lamborghini-gaat-aventador-lp700-4-heten%21.html) it's the new name for the Italian automaker's Murcielago-replacing supercar. Below, what the name means and specifications we expect for this new raging bull.
According to a select group of customers who saw the new bull-fighter at a special event this week, we're told the Lamborghini Aventador (http://jalopnik.com/tag/lamborghiniaventador/) will look like a replica of the Lamborghini Reventón. It'll even use the Reventón's massive 6.5-liter V12 engine and produce a Reventón-besting 700 HP with a redline of 8,250 RPM. Also, we're told that amazing engine will be mated to a seven-speed single clutch gearbox.
And oh, yes, it'll be light. Thanks to Lamborghini CEO Stephen Winkelmann's clarion call for weight loss, the new bullish beast will feature a carbon fiber monocoque chassis that'll cut the weight 500 lbs. from the Murcielago while upping rigidity by a whopping 70%.
All of this should translate into some seriously mind-blowing performance — it'll supposedly make a 0-to-62 time in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 217 MPH.
But now, to the name. For a while Lamborghini fan-boys have been confused about what to call the new replacement to the Murcielago. Some have called it the Jota. The Jota nameplate finds its roots in one of the most storied Lamborghinis to have ever existed, the Miura. The Lamborghini Miura was produced between 1966 and 1972, and represented what many today believe to be the birth of the two-seater, high-performance, mid-engine sports car. In 1970, a Lamborghini test driver named Bob Wallace used a special test mule that was named Lamborghini Miura Jota. The mule was eventually sold, and was tragically later burned to the ground after crashing on the ring road around Brescia. The name was later revived for a short period of time on the Diablo SE30 limited edition as a power upgrade. Others have merely called it the LP 700-4 — due to the 700 horses under the hood and the all-wheel drive powertrain.
While the numerical designation may be retained, we're hearing now, thanks to folks who attended this week's event at Lamborghini's Italian home, that the name will be Aventador.
Sure, that name sounds cool, but what in the name of Sant'Agata does it mean? It doesn't appear to mean anything in Italian, but in Spanish the word could mean everything from "fan used to blow a fire" to "a wooden fork with three or four prongs, used for winnowing corn." It also means, if we believe Babelfish, "a scourer."
UPDATE: I knew you guys would come to my rescue on the meaning of "Aventador." Commenter a1ek5ant3ri (http://jalopnik.com/comment/32410279) believes it should be used in the sense of "one who dares (http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/aventar)," while apparently, according to this source (http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://www.laplazareal.net/torosnotables33.htm&sl=es&tl=en&hl=&ie=UTF-8), translated via Google, it also was:
"The bull of the Sons of Don Celestino Cuadri Vides, called Aventador, was marked with the number 32, was black, chestnut and weighed 507 kilos of pv was raced in second place in the Plaza de Toros de Zaragoza, (10/15/1993 ), accounting for the skilled Emilio Muñoz, who cut off his ear. From their behavior in the sand got the trophy of the Rock The bravest bull Madroñera Marketplace Pilar."
Thanks to Carfolio (http://twitter.com/Carfolio/statuses/3458407327604736) on Twitter for the help with that last link!
When's it coming? Although we're expecting something to be unveiled at the LA Auto Show next week, we're hearing that'll be a drop-top — the Lamborghini Gallardo Performante — basically, a Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera Spyder. So expect the new Aventador to drop in Geneva next year.
What do you think? Will the new Lamborghini supercar be called "Aventador" — or is this just a load of bull designed to "fan the flames" on the new Murcielago replacement?

I can't wait to see this on Top Gear (the real one, not the retarded US version)

Now we've got the clearest look yet of the car, sneaking like a guido Dracula across the Italian night.
Snapped by a reader of OmniAuto (http://www.omniauto.it/magazine/14285/lamborghini-v12-immagini-esclusive-aventador), the shots show a car with a profile borrowing heavily from both the Murcielago and Gallardo, and the Sesto Elemento concept (http://jalopnik.com/5650213/lamborghini-sesto-elemento-concept-v10-carbon-fighter) in its wider, longer trapezoidal intakes.
The car also seems to depart from the straight beltline of the current V12 Lambo with a design sporting a pronounced rake all the way back to the 700 hp 6.5-liter V12. We expect an infuriatingly slow tease of closeups, so take a good look now.

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Order Guide, Full Specs Leaked





December 17th, 2010 There are secrets in the automotive world, and then there are next-generation Lamborghinis. The Aventador, successor to the Murcielago, managed to hold some of its information back during development, but as it nears production and unveiling, the dam has broken wide open: the ordering guide, with full specs, is loose on the Internet. Power? As expected, a 6.5-liter V-12 rated at 700 metric horsepower, or about 690 of our American horses. Weight? The Aventador tips the scales at 3,472 pounds, with 43 percent of that over the front axle, and 57 percent over the rear. It will be a big, low car, at 106 inches wheelbase, 188 inches long, almost 80 inches wide, and just 44 inches tall. Fuel efficient it is not, drinking down its 23.77 gallon tank at a rate of 13.5 mpg combined. But fuel efficiency isn't the only kind of efficiency: the Aventador will slice through the air with ease, hitting 62 mph in a crushing 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of 217 mph. That massive acceleration is thanks in part to its Haldex electronically-controlled all-wheel-drive system and the new seven-speed ISR robotized gearbox. Sticky 255/35 tire on 19-inch wheels up front and 335/30 20-inchers out back hold the corners. Braking is handled by massive 15.7-inch and 14.9-inch front/rear carbon ceramic rotors clamped by six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers. That is really all the core information, but you can get every single available option, all standard equipment, and more, over at the Teampseed forums linked below. [Teamspeed]

There are secrets in the automotive world, and then there are next-generation Lamborghinis. The Aventador, successor to the Murcielago (http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1030377_spy-shots-lamborghini-jota-murcielago-replacement), managed to hold some of its information (http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1052084_lamborghini-showing-murcielago-replacing-jota-aventador-to-customers) back during development, but as it nears production and unveiling, the dam has broken wide open: the ordering guide, with full specs, is loose on the Internet.

Power? As expected, a 6.5-liter V-12 rated at 700 metric horsepower, or about 690 of our American horses. Weight? The Aventador tips the scales at 3,472 pounds, with 43 percent of that over the front axle, and 57 percent over the rear.

Detroit 2011: Lamborghini shares more info on the Aventador 834



http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/01/lamborghinia32detroit2011.jpg

Lamborghini isn't presenting anything at the Detroit Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/detroit-auto-show/) because it doesn't even have a stand. But that doesn't mean that the Sant' Agata company had nothing to say. CEO Stephan Winkelmann and head of R&D Maurizio Reggiani spoke briefly about the Murciélago (http://www.autoblog.com/model/murcielago) successor at a Sunday evening event outside of Cobo Hall, putting together a few more pieces of the Lamborghini 834 – otherwise known as the car many assume will be called the Aventador (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/11/15/lamborghini-registers-aventador-name-for-trademark/). Winkelmann said he wants it to be "the trendsetter of the next decade." The main points:


Cues: the 834 will have all the traditional modern Lamborghini cues (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/14/lamborghini-aventador-spied-on-facebook/), meaning all-wheel drive, scissor doors and prominent air intakes. Winkelmann said it would be revolutionary but recognizable, and that its inspiration has come from the military (not unlike the military-aircraft inspired Reventon)
Chassis: "Stiffness and lightness are the words to remember," said Winkelmann, and the company has planted its flag on the battleground known as "power-to-weight." The body-in-white is 229 kilograms, torsional stiffness is 35,000 Newton-Meters/degree and it has been homologated worldwide already. The entire monocoque cell is carbon fiber – the tub is a Lamborghini-developed process patented by the company as RTM (Resin Transfer Molded) Lambo, a slightly different process than standard RTM, the A- and B-Pillars and rocker panels are braided carbon fiber, and the roof is prepreg carbon fiber. The RTM Lambo process has been developed in conjunction with its work with Boeing and the University of Washington.
Engine: The new 6.5-liter V12 (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/11/18/videos-lamborghini-highlights-new-v12-with-a-quartet-of-clips/) has 18 percent more power but emits 20 percent less CO2 – 398 g/km – than the 6.5-liter V12 in the now-discontinued Murciélago. It develops 700 horsepower at 8,450 rpm and 509 pound-feet at 5,500 rpm; although displacement is the same, the bore and stroke have been changed to provide better acceleration and smoother, more elastic power delivery in stop-and-go traffic.
Transmission: The 834 uses a seven-speed, single-clutch transmission developed and patented by Lamborghini as ISR (Independent Shifting Rod) (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/11/15/lamborghini-reveals-all-new-6-5l-v12-engine-and-isr-gearbox/) and built by Graziano. A single clutch was chosen because it is 20 kilograms lighter than a dual clutch and, said Reggiani, "You have to have the drop in torque so you feel like you're shifting, to give the emotion." There will be five shift modes: Auto, Auto Strada ('strada' being for comfort), Strada, Sport and Corsa. The gearbox's syncros can disengage one gear as they're engaging the next, so shift times in Corsa will be 50 milliseconds (Formula 1 is about 40 ms), 150 ms in Sport, and 300 ms in Auto Strada.
Suspension: According to Lamborghini, the 834 will mark the first time a pushrod suspension with horizontal dampers appears on a production car. The setup will keep the wheel in perfect alignment throughout the range of suspension travel.
Brakes: There will be 400 mm carbon discs up front, 380 mm in back, and it will have an electronic parking brake.
Interior: There will, of course, be improved roominess all around, the driving position is now dead ahead and not skewed to the right, and the dash cluster is a single, large TFT screen.
Safety: The 834 will have passive pedestrian protection, four front airbags and two side airbags

One final note: Communications director Raffaello Porro confirmed that the company is still debating making both the Sesto Elemento (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/30/paris-2010-lamborghini-sesto-elemento-concept-in-detail/) and the Estoque (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/06/bloomberg-lamborghini-estoque-production-hopes-not-dead/). The Estoque is the natural way for the brand to grow (not an SUV (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/07/report-lamborghini-would-choose-four-door-over-suv/)), but if the Sesto Elemento is made it won't be homologated (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/11/24/report-production-lamborghini-sesto-elemento-will-be-for-track/). A decision on both is expected in the first quarter of this year.

Holy fuck. Lambo's have always been my favorite cars, if the Jota comes out anything like this it will bring my love for those cars to a whole new level!

As a bonus, once this car comes out it should bring the pricing of the Merci's way down :)

Lamborghini Teases New Aventador LP700-4 Supercar




http://images.thecarconnection.com/sml/lamborghini-aventador-lp700-4-official-teaser_100339668_s.jpg (http://www.motorauthority.com/image/100339668_lamborghini-aventador-lp700-4-official-teaser)Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 official teaser
Enlarge Photo
A brand new Lamborghini supercar, the replacement for the legendary Murcielago, is set to be unveiled in just a few weeks at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, and in the lead up to its unveiling Lamborghini has released this teaser image of the car (http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1054936_lamborghini-teases-new-aventador-lp700-4-supercar#).

Wearing nothing except a thin camouflaging wrap--prototypes seen in previous spy shots (http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1030377_spy-shots-lamborghini-jota-murcielago-replacement) always had fake body cladding attached--details of the new super can clearly be seen. The front shares an almost identical nose to the stunning Reventon (http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1034480_lamborghini-reventon-roadster-rumored-to-debut-next-month), while the headlights (http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1054936_lamborghini-teases-new-aventador-lp700-4-supercar#) appear similar to those on the equally stunning Sesto Elemento concept car from last year’s Paris Auto Show (http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1049308_2010-paris-auto-show-lamborghini-sesto-elemento-concept).

The rest of the car’s body features a much more fluidic design compared to the outgoing Murcielago, as well as side mirrors that are attached to the doors rather than at the corners of the windows.

The latest Lamborghini supercar is expected to carry the full title of Aventador LP700-4 and under its hood will be a brand new V-12 engine matched to a new automated manual transmission dubbed ISR (http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1051532_lamborghini-reveals-new-700-horsepower-v-12-for-murcielago-successor). Still displacing 6.5-liters, the V-12 engine (http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1054936_lamborghini-teases-new-aventador-lp700-4-supercar#)has been redesigned from scratch and is rated at 700 horsepower and 508 pound-feet of torque.

As for the new transmission, Lamborghini has revealed that the automated manual can match a dual clutch transmission for shift times thanks to Independent Shifting Rod technology--hence the name, ISR. Instead of taking place in series, as with a conventional gearbox, shifting can occur virtually in parallel. While one shifting rod is moving out of one gear, the second shifting rod can already engage the next.

http://images.thecarconnection.com/tmb/lamborghini-jota-aventador-spy-shot_100333756_t.gif



Another relatively unique feature will be the car’s pushrod suspension design (http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1054165_geneva-auto-show-preview-lamborghini-murcielago-replacement-gets-pushrod-suspension) similar to that used in Formula 1 racing. The benefits of pushrod suspension (http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1054936_lamborghini-teases-new-aventador-lp700-4-supercar#)are mostly those of packaging: without the need for tall suspension uprights, the car's profile, especially at the front, can be made much lower. Using rocker arms and pushrods to actuate the coilover spring/damper combo, a pushrod suspension also makes for less weight at the corners, as the damper system rides on the chassis rather than the wheel upright or control arms, further improving handling.

Lamborghini releases teaser of Aventador LP700-4




http://www.4wheelsnews.com/images/news/14069/lamborghini_aventador_lp700-4_spy_shot__medium.jpg (http://www.4wheelsnews.com/gallery/lamborghini-releases-teaser-of-aventador-lp700-4/22114) Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

This is the official Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Spyshot, the clearest look available for the Murcielago replacement. Set to be revealed in the Geneva auto (http://www.4wheelsnews.com/lamborghini-releases-teaser-of-aventador-lp700-4/#) show next month, the Aventador will be powered by a new V12 developed by Sant’Agata’s finest engineers. The power will be distributed through a new gearbox to all wheels. However, what fans are yearning to see is the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 in all its glory, without a disguise and with the complete details.

The 6.5-liter V12 engine will deliver 700 hp (http://www.4wheelsnews.com/lamborghini-releases-teaser-of-aventador-lp700-4/#) to all four wheels through a new, 7-speed automatic transmission with ISR (Independent Shifting Rods) that can switch gears in 50 milliseconds. This enables the car (http://www.4wheelsnews.com/lamborghini-releases-teaser-of-aventador-lp700-4/#) to go from 0 to 100 Km/h (0 to 62 mph) in only 2.9 seconds.
Lamborghini said that the Aventador will also feature a pushrod suspension (http://www.4wheelsnews.com/lamborghini-releases-teaser-of-aventador-lp700-4/#), with a unique damper concept inspired by Formula 1 so that it can deliver race-car precision. This is why the springs and dampers are not placed on the wheel mounts anymore, but are instead 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 (http://www.4wheelsnews.com/lamborghini-releases-teaser-of-aventador-lp700-4/#) at the rear.

Spy Shots: Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 captured from every angle (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/15/spy-shots-lamborghini-aventador-lp700-4-captured-from-every-ang/)

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Spy Photos - Click above for high-res image gallery

Don't be foolish, Lamborghini (http://www.autoblog.com/make/lamborghini). You should have known that a couple of stock "spy" shots (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/08/lamborghini-aventador-lp700-4-spied-in-the-swirly-en-route-to/) of the Aventador LP700-4 (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/aventador%20lp700-4) wouldn't be enough for us to call off the hounds. Our crack team of camera-wielding warriors managed to lay their lenses on the upcoming Murciélago (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/murcielago) replacement while the vehicle was undergoing extreme weather testing near the Arctic Circle. If you can look through the snow and the trippy tornado camouflage, you just might notice a face that's even more sinister than that of the old king of the Lamborghini hill. We're guessing that the production version of the vehicle will make use of an even more angular front fascia and rear valance than what we're used to seeing from the already trapezoid-happy supercars.

Rumor has it that we can expect a 0-60 mph time of around three seconds thanks to a 704-horsepower V12 engine with 509 pound-feet of torque on hand. The engine is supposedly mated to an electrohydraulically-actuated transmission that can swap cogs in around 50 milliseconds. Lamborghini hasn't released too many details on the tech behind the transmission just yet, but from the sound of things, it's a new level of quick.

Lamborghini Aventador in action – Click above to view the video after the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/17/lamborghini-aventador-video-spy/#continued)

We're less than two weeks away from the Lamborghini Aventador's (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/aventador/) unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/geneva-motor-show/), so that means there's plenty of time for a few more "leaks" ahead of the big bull's reveal.

This latest clip of the 700-horsepower V12 Lambo comes courtesy of Autogespot, which has received a remarkably well-produced, two-minute video of the Murciélago (http://www.autoblog.com/model/murcielago) successor running through some snow-covered hills. The exterior camouflage is still intact, but we finally get our first glimpse of the interior, including the steering wheel and IP. Nothing revolutionary, but well worth checking out in the video after the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/17/lamborghini-aventador-video-spy/#continued).

Lamborghini Aventador rolling chassis – Click above for high-res image gallery

Assembling an exotic supercar like a Lamborghini (http://www.autoblog.com/make/lamborghini/) is a painstaking process, making sure every last bit fits just right. Most of the time, we don't see that process in such minute detail, but Lamborghini has made sure we get the full experience with its latest supercar.

Dubbed "Aventador LP 700-4" by the press in anticipation of its launch, the long-awaited replacement for the Murciélago (http://www.autoblog.com/model/murcielago) is now officially confirmed for debut at the fast-approaching Geneva Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/geneva-motor-show/) next week.

Along the way, Sant'Agata has shown us the engine and gearbox (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/11/15/lamborghini-reveals-all-new-6-5l-v12-engine-and-isr-gearbox/), the suspension (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/01/24/lamborghini-reveals-images-of-murcielago-replacements-suspensio/) and the monocoque frame (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/14/lamborghini-aventador-lp700-4-bares-its-carbon-fiber-monocoque/), not to mention the myriad spy shots (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/15/spy-shots-lamborghini-aventador-lp700-4-captured-from-every-ang/) of camouflaged test mules romping around. And now Lamborghini is showing us the full rolling chassis – sans bodywork or interior (save for one seat) but with just about everything else fitted – which it unveiled at an Audi (http://www.autoblog.com/make/audi) TechDay event. We'll have to wait another week to see the full monte, but for now you can peruse through what we've got so far in the galleries below.

It was inevitable. The lead time required for print magazines has once again given way to the early release of embargoed material.

This time, from the pages of Evo Magazine Croatia a photo has found its way to our inbox via an anonymous tipster. Just a few hours after Lamborghini revealed photos of the naked rolling chassis (http://www.kcsr.org/../111022230802/lamborghini-unveils-lp700-4-aventador-v12-rolling-chassis) we have this clear top front view of the LP700-4 Aventador super sports car (http://www.kcsr.org/#) - skin intact.
Just in case you haven't already memorized its vital statistics, the LP700-4 Aventador is powered by a 6.5-liter V12 engine that produces 700 PS (690 bhp / 515 kW) and 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) of torque. It is connected to a Graziano ISR 7-speed automatic (single clutch with dual sychronizers) transmission and a Haldex all-wheel drive (http://www.kcsr.org/#) system that enables the supercar to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and hit a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph).
It has a full carbon fiber monocoque or passenger cell that weighs just 147.5 kilograms (324.5 lbs), while the whole body-in-white tips the scales at 229.5 kilograms (505 lbs). This body structure enables a torsional rigidity measurement of 35,000 Newton meters per degree of twist.
The inefficiencies of print media are a boon for interactive media - we salute thee.

Given that we're less than a week before the official unveiling in Geneva, and how Lamborghini news tends to seep like old dynamite, we're sure there are more to come. How about some views of the 6.5-liter V12?

Still more Lamborghini Aventador photos! (http://jalopnik.com/#%215770551/still-more-lamborghini-aventador-photos/gallery/)

http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/12/2011/02/medium_bull_heart_aventador_lamborghini_splash.jpg (http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/12/2011/02/bull_heart_aventador_lamborghini_splash.jpg)

New interior, engine-bay shots (and an exterior detail) of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 (http://jalopnik.com/#%215769305/this-is-the-lamborghini-aventador-again) emerged today, mere days before the Murcielago replacement's unveiling in Geneva. Dig that crazy 700-hp V12 and those swank inboard coilovers. Definitely bullish on Lambo.
And yes, because these images aren't big enough to be made into pretty wallpaper-sized images, they're here and not on Facebook.

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4: First Look (http://jalopnik.com/#%215771111/lamborghini-aventador-lp700+4-first-look)

To coincide with the first person-to-supercar shot, we've also created this first look — to give you everything you need to know. And yes, it does include the first shot of its scissor doors.

Lamborghini's new supercar's slowly (http://jalopnik.com/#%21lamborghini/5769305) leaked (http://jalopnik.com/#%21lamborghini/5769561) its way out onto the internet (http://jalopnik.com/#%215770551/still-more-lamborghini-aventador-photos/gallery/) the past week and we've been on top of it the entire way. Today's no different. In addition to the live shot above (courtesy of our friends at autogespot (http://www.autogespot.com/nl/item/10331/hot-news-uit-geneve-live-beelden-lamborghini-aventador-lp700-4%21.html)), we've also got a few more press shots including a first look at the before-only-rumored scissor doors.
The Aventador's set to be officially unveiled this week at the Geneva Motor Show where it will power out onto the stage with a 6.5-liter V12 engine (http://jalopnik.com/#%21lamborghini/5690136) with an output of 700hp at 8,250 RPM and max torque of 509 lb/ft at 5,500 RPM.
But this new load of bull doesn't include just a new engine. Lamborghini's also mating a brand-new transmission to its new beating beast of a bull heart.

They're calling it the "Lamborghini ISR" - an automated manual gearbox combining "minimal shift times and everyday usability with low weight and dimensions to guarantee that emotional sensation from gearshifts, which customers expect from a super sports car at the very top of the premier league." The gearbox supposedly provides an almost 50% shorter shift time than with a dual-clutch transmission –- with the benefits of lower weight and smaller size.

And oh, yes, it'll have a light frame. Thanks to Lamborghini CEO Stephen Winkelmann's clarion call for weight loss, the new bullish beast will feature a carbon fiber monocoque chassis (http://jalopnik.com/#%215767050/i-am-the-lamborghini-aventadors-v12+engined-rolling-chassis/gallery/) that'll cut the weight 500 lbs. from the Murcielago while upping rigidity by a whopping 70%. Which is pretty amazing considering it'll be a four-wheel drive supercar.

All of this should translate into some seriously mind-blowing performance - it'll supposedly make a 0-to-62 time in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 217 MPH. We can't wait to see it live ourselves next week.

2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4: In Depth

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/02/lamborghini-aventador-lp700-4---05-opt.jpg

Before the Geneva Motor Show press conference on Tuesday, Lamborghini let us in on a private Bologna-area photography studio so that we could get our own sex-machine shots of their raging new V12 firestarter, the 691-horsepower Aventador LP700-4.

First off, we're glad they didn't call it 'Jota' as some were peas-and-carroting about because it's just a silly and unpronounceable name. It probably belonged to some wimpy minor league bull, too. Only one true Jota was ever built in 1970, and it was a just an amped-up and flared Miura (we prefer not to think about the mid-90s Diablo anniversary upgrade kits).

"Aventador" was, according to the best detective work we can muster, a bull whose career peaked in 1993 in the town of Saragozza, Spain, when he and the torero had a particularly spirited encounter prior to ol' Aventador's inevitable skewering. This particular beastie belonged to the breeding stables of the sons of Don Celestino Cuadri Vides and, for unknown reasons surely banal, he bore the number 32 singed on his hide. And now he gets the strongest Lamborghini ever built named after him. And about damned time! The British were getting tired of mispronouncing "Murcièlago" over the past ten years and now they have a new proper name to mutilate.


This name-guessing game is one of the best things Lamborghini has going for its mystique value. Another thing that comes close is what the new colors of the car's paint palette will be labeled. The model we've shot here is the actual Geneva showstand Aventador, and its all-new scene-stealing hue is Arancio Argos – Argos Orange – named after the deep-colored oranges grown around the ancient southern Greek town of Argos, a chief rival of the mighty killing machines over in Sparta.

Today, Lamborghini is just hoping to go Ferrari-, Pagani-, and Bugatti-hunting, so no killing of all the male inhabitants or anything is foreseen.

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/02/lamborghini-aventador-lp700-4---14-opt.jpg

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/02/lamborghini-aventador-lp700-4---15-opt.jpg

At this point, the bosses at Lamborghini know they'll never stop hearing the "Audighini" or "LambAudi" comments, but don't say it to their faces on this go-round. The Aventador is, according to creditable head of R&D Maurizio Reggiani, as close to 100-percent-new as it gets versus the outgoing Murcièlago LP-640. The three-section chassis, cabin structure, V12 engine, transmission, suspension bits, all-wheel-drive module – you name it, it's all new to the company "apart from some carryover Murcièlago nuts and bolts," adds Reggiani.

Internally known as model "LB834," the Aventador's one-piece passenger cell is made entirely of a new-generation reinforced carbon fiber formulated with help from Boeing Aerospace, and it weighs in at just 324 pounds, while the whole naked chassis including aluminum front and rear crash structures weighs just 505 lbs. Overall bending and twisting stiffness is said to be double that ever experienced with the Murcièlago. Every carbon fiber cell is created in a just-completed facility at Lambo HQ in Sant'Agata Bolognese, and between 700 and 800 units per year is the ultimate goal once the full-rhythm build starts after the August summer holidays when Italy traditionally shuts down. The best year for the Murc was 2007, when 613 were delivered worldwide.

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/02/lamborghini-aventador-lp700-4---27-opt.jpg

The new 691-hp (SAE), 6.5-litre V12 engine out back – called "L539" in Lambo-speak – is a massive 40 lbs. lighter than the Murcièlago engine, sits 2.8 inches lower in the chassis, is nine percent more powerful, and produces upwards of 20 percent better fuel efficiency in the hands of the right driver (for a whopping 13.7 mpg average). Dry weight of an Aventador is now just 3,472 lbs. compared to the Murcièlago's 3,671 lbs., a healthy five percent reduction in a class segment where weight loss is a crucial and constant challenge. Weight distribution is a predictable 43 percent front and 57 rear.

So, the Aventador's all-important pound-per-horsepower reading is just 5.02 lbs. versus the Murcièlago at 5.81 lbs. To beat these super-exotic numbers in the big rear-engine club, you'd have to shell out at least $1.3 million for either a Bugatti Veyron or Pagani C9 Huayra. As it stands, the Aventador LP700-4 is estimated to come in at around $370k.

Thanks to a three-inch-lower dry-sump pan under the motor and the choice not to go with direct injection as on the Gallardo V10 engine for now (it's sequential multi-point), the exterior look and stance were allowed to remain as gorgeous as they are. Comparing bore and stroke between Murcièlago and Aventador, the former reads a rather square 88mm x 89mm (3.47in x 3.50in) while the new motor gets bored – literally – now reading 95mm x 76.4mm (3.74in x 3.00in). Engineer Reggiani is a big believer in short-stroke cylinders since the ability to get lots of torque cranking down low in the rev range improves greatly. "With this car, I can take off from a stop in fifth gear and 1,000 rpm, no problem," says the man with the R&D plan. Just, please, don't try this at home.

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/02/lamborghini-aventador-lp700-4-4up.jpg



Whereas the Murcièlago was honestly not allowed to be a totally new Lamborghini in its design (like the cash-cow Gallardo was, albeit heavily borrowed from Audi) due to lack of resources at the start of Audi ownership in mid-1998, the Aventador design reflects a dramatic effort on Lamborghini's part over the past three years to create a true 21st-century halo car, something the Murcièlago never achieved.

The overall shape takes the aerodynamic curved profile of either a Diablo or Countach a less pimp-y step further, and is heavily influenced by the edges seen on the 2008 limited-edition Reventón. The rear face and tail profile especially take hints from the Estoque four-door concept seen at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. Overall height is identical between the incoming and outgoing V12 car, while the length of the Aventador versus the Murc grows by some 6.7 in. and width is reduced by 1.1 in. To go with the added length, wheelbase grows as well by 1.4 in. The desire is clearly to have less of a boxy door-stop shape in favor of one that will slip through the air to threaten speed records. The only visibly moveable aerodynamic bit now is the rear wing, which reaches a maximum downforce-inducing angle of 11 degrees. The gaping side intakes open or close automatically, and here there is nothing like the origami shoulder appliqué air flaps used on the Murc.

ur time spent sitting in the finally un-camouflaged new supersport reveals a distinct leap ahead in aesthetics, with far more character and fewer borrowed (and cheaper) surfaces than before. All controls are distinctly more easily accessible and understandable, while the digital bright instrument readouts are in keeping with the retina-defibrillating show. And there is at last an electric handbrake. Throttle-engine response, Servotronic steering force, rear differential slip degree, and gearshift timings are altered by pressing one of the three buttons by our right hand: Strada, Sport or Corsa.

And what would a V12 Lamborghini be without scissor doors? As ever, there is only the slightest compromise for any sports car lover while entering or exiting the Aventador. In fact, if it had standard doors then nobody would buy the thing.

Speaking with Lamborghini executives, it is clear that they want their 12-cylinder to bust out of the big shadow thrown by Gallardo and brashly take on all Ferraris and any other 12- or 16-cylinder exotics at every quantifiable and subjective level. The Gallardo will finally eat a little humble pie and assume its proper spot as the firm's higher-volume number-two "people's car."

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/02/lamborghini-aventador-lp700-4---08-opt.jpg

To make this clear, the current estimated acceleration time for Aventador to 60 mph is 2.8 seconds (i.e. 2.9 to 100 km/h) when dallying in the fields of Launch Control. The engine howls with all power on tap now up to 8,250 rpm, and there's much more flexibility in the mid-revs with almost all of the 509 pound-feet of torque available from 5,000 rpm and more going on also at the lowest revs. The new seven-speed ISR ("Independent Shifting Rods") Graziano single-clutch gearbox is said to polish off shifts in Corsa mode in just 50 milliseconds while weighing half as much as the old E-gear Audi R-tronic-like dual-clutch system. And for the first time on a Lamborghini, the suspension is pulled right out of Formula-car thinking with its sophisticated inboard pushrod spring and damper setup. Top speed realized so far, so they tell us, has gone beyond the stated 217 mph max.

As the cream on top, the new all-wheel-drive system is a Haldex IV setup in keeping with the latest-generation units with greater rear-end bias. The Aventador-specific wheels – 19-inch front and 20-inch rear – are amazing eye-snatchers, and big (15.74-inch up front) ceramic stop-you-like-a-wall brake discs are standard. The treads are Pirelli P Zero and get sized out at 255/35 front and 335/30 rear. No manual transmission will be offered, but there is a welcome limited-slip differential. To keep your Aventador from chipping expensive front teeth, there remains a hydraulic lift for garage entry and school-zone speed bumps that raises things 1.6 inches.

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/02/lamborghini-aventador-lp700-4---41-opt.jpg

After a disastrous 2009 and still tough 2010, Lamborghini is right back on track and up to the tricks we expect. Having planned and executed everything for the show-stealing Aventador LP700-4 in-house, this V12 arrow is finally and properly determined to account for the updated Lamborghini pride and image lead among prospective customers. Of the five design concepts for the car from various VW Group studios that made it to 1:1 scale, Filippo Perini and his team at the Sant'Agata Centro Stile won out. A year after the hardtop launches, the "LB835" Roadster version will arrive – hopefully with a less Lincoln Logs-difficult manual roof mechanism than the contraption on the Murcièlago Roadster.

U.S. deliveries begin toward the end of October, and we promise to bring you a first production-quality Aventador drive in May. The wait is going to be excruciating. No bull.

Lamborghini Aventador's complex construction necessitates 'flying doctors' (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/02/lamborghini-aventadors-complex-construction-necessitates-flyin/)



http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/02/lamborghini-aventador-lp700-4---05-opt.jpg (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2012-lamborghini-aventador-lp700-4/)
2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 – Click above for high-res image gallery

The newest raging bull from Lamborghini's stables, the 2012 Aventador LP700-4 (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/28/2012-lamborghini-aventador-lp700-4-in-depth/), is a technologically advanced devourer of roads. Case in point: The 691-horsepower beast boasts a monocoque passenger compartment made out of reinforced carbon-fiber (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/14/lamborghini-aventador-lp700-4-bares-its-carbon-fiber-monocoque/). It was developed thanks to assistance from Boeing and weighs-in at a mere 324 pounds. Because of this advanced passenger cell, the Aventador is light, stiff and very strong.

Cars like this end up in the hands of a privileged few, but they also occasionally end up stuffed into guardrails. So how do you fix an Aventador with a carbon-fiber boo-boo? You have Lamborghini (http://www.autoblog.com/make/lamborghini/) send one of its so-called flying doctors, according to Automotive News.

Armed with a suitcase of tools and an extensive knowledge of carbon fiber repairs, the Lamborghini flying doctor is trained to mend fractured Aventadors. In the States, the damaged supercar is sent to the University of Washington in Seattle. There, the flying doctor can fix any sections of shredded carbon fiber.

We can only imagine who expensive the process of shipping and repairing a 2012 Lamborghini Aventador will be. With a $379,000 price-tag, it has to be a bit more than the local body shop charges to pull out a dent.

so has the countdown begun for how long it takes UGR to get their hands on one? :lol:
