Aventador LP 700-4 – Automobiles Review

Lamborghini and Pirelli Celebration Feast is Called Aventador LP 700-4 Pirelli Edition

Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Pirelli Edition is new special series model which was designed in order to celebrate the collaboration between the Italian luxury brand and the Pirelli tire manufacturer. Their partnership began back in 1963, when Lamborghini brand was founded. This means that since birth, the luxury car have been equipped with Pirelli tires. The super sports car is built on carbon fiber monocoque, driven by the V12 engine, and equipped with pushrod suspensions and all-wheel drive.

Outside, the Lambo is finished in a two-tone color scheme, which is offered in two options. The first is a matte black for the roof, pillars, rearview mirrors, engine hood and front, rear, side and moving air intakes, combined with the contrasting six glossy finishes for the rest of the body. These include Giallo Spica, Rosso Mars, Bianco Isis, Nero Aldebaran, Grigio Liqueo, and Grigio Ater.

The second one is glossy black used for the upper parts of the car and the air intakes, combined with four matte finishes for the rest of the exterior: Bianco Canopus, Nero Nemesis, Grigio Adamas, and Grigio Titans.

Something very distinctive in this car is the thin red stripe that runs along the roof and the engine hood, the rearview mirrors, and the outer profiles of the air intakes. To harmonize with this, the Pirelli logo is in red. The exterior also received transparent engine hood, engine compartment in carbon, glossy black Dione 20”/21”rims as well as P Zero tires with red logo and red calipers.

Inside, the car is upholstered with black Alcantara with red contrast stitching. The same red stripe theme is repeated on the inside and runs along the interior ceiling and seats. It also includes Lamborghini and Pirelli crests embroidered in red.

Furthermore, leather inserts can be seen on the door panels and seat sides. At last, what needs to be mentioned is the “Pirelli special series” plaque that comes to signify the exclusiveness of the model.

Oh, and the powertrain of course: it has the capability of producing 700 hp (515 kW) and it is combined with the ultra-fast ISR transmission. The 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time is just 2.9 seconds and top speed reaching 350 km/h.

The exceptional new edition will be offered in Coupé and Roadster variant. It can be ordered now with deliveries expected in early summer of 2015.

Lamborghini Aventador J Revealed

There it is! The Lamborghini Aventador J – J as in FIA’s ‘Appendix J’ regarding the tech spec of race cars. Hope you like wildlife in your hair as this Geneva participant doesn’t really make any use of a roof. Or a windshield for that matter. Why would it? It’s a 700 bhp open top. Isn’t that enough?

Unsurprisingly, the J is based on the Aventador LP 700-4 – An AWD layout with a 6.5-litre 700bhp V12 engine. Imagine the wind resistance one is going to experience on their face whilst closing in on the 300 km/h barrier. They should have called it the Aventador D for Drama.

Obviously, the disposal of otherwise vital components calls for some structural changes. An innovative monocoque construction made from carbon fiber reinforced polymers combines lightness with optimum stiffness and strength. There are two safety bars behind the seats that are made made from a forged composite and reinforced with carbon fiber inserts. The thing about open tops and convertibles is that most people cringe at the sight of them knowing that speed and agility have been compromised. However, that’s not the case with the Aventador J. Because we don’t have a roof or a windshield, we also don’t have air conditioning. There are no distractions inside (if we can call it an inside) – Things like the satellite navigation and audio system have been deemed redundant. The J’s cockpit and parts of the seats are clad in a material called “Carbonskin” – woven carbon fibers that have been soaked in a special epoxy resin that stabilizes the fiber structure and keeps things soft and flexible. All that hi-tech, light weight material and the feature diet make the bull extremely light – 1575 kg of dry weight.

Lamborghini have put to use these materials in the maddest of ways. See that horizontal stabilizer pinned between the two inferior looking wind guards? That is not a horizontal stabilizer but a rear view mirror. The front nose is narrower than the standard one and is dominated by a highly distinctive carbon fiber air scoop. Upward fins on the side complete the look. The wheels are 20 and 21-inch front and back respectively and carry a five-spoke design and an additional carbon fiber fan-like feature that vents air toward the massive brakes. All you need to know for the back end is that it has a carbon-fiber rear diffuser, four huge tail pipes and an enormous fixed spoiler mounted on the bodyshell by two arms.

So far, only one Aventador J has been made (Unica) and at the end of the Geneva Motor Show it will be sold to someone who would be brave enough and strong enough to handle it. This car is not a concept, not a prototype but a fully functional, road legal roadster.

Unica Lamborghini Teaser

Here’s a video from Lamborghini of two quite brisk headlights. It’s actually a teaser video from the Bologna company regarding the upcoming reveal of… something. Most likely, it’ll be called the the Lamborghini Unica. But, there’s a lot speculation going around. Some say it will be the Aventador J Speedster – a Spyder version/concept of the Aventador. Recently some photos have also been circulating the web showing a completely topless Aventador rendering.

In any case, if the the Unica/J Speedster has anything to do with the current Aventador LP 700-4, we should be expecting at the very least a V12, 6.5 liter engine developing 700 units of horsepower and nearly 700 Nm of torque. Hope you like windy weather.

A premiere at the Geneva Motor Show tomorrow will most likely substitute speculation with awe (we hope so). Obviously you can also follow the events on Twitter.

On a side note, Unica roughly translets from Italian into “the one and only” or ‘unique’ if you will.
