Ultimate open-air experience: Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster

One of the most exciting open-top luxury super sports cars has just been unveiled and it is the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster. Since the coupe version gained many appraises with over 1300 units already delivered to customers, the brand is now offering a convertible version of it.

The new Lamborghini Roadster has unique profile of its upper area, which extends along newly designed geometric lines from the removable roof to the engine hood. The design shows the best combination of performance, elegant presence and delivers ultimate driving pleasure.

To go further into details, the two-piece roof is made entirely from carbon fiber with the help of RTM and Forged Composite® technologies, which ensure optimum aesthetic performance and stiffness.

Additionally, they are easily removable and attachable, and can be stored in the front luggage compartment. The rear pillar here got a new design and offers maximum support for the removable roof. Furthermore it has an automatic protection system for passengers, and provides the engine compartment with ample ventilation.

The central “spinal column” with two pairs of hexagonal windows connected at the sides is what differentiates this convertible from the coupe model. Moreover, the powered rear windshield not only influences the flow of air in the vehicle, but also controls the experience of the sound from the twelve-cylinder engine.

Next, the wind deflector delivers complete calm inside the car, no matter the speed. It is positioned on the front windshield frame and can likewise be stored in the luggage compartment when not in use.

The exterior here is finished in two tones, while the windshield pillar and the two roof sections and the rear window area up to the “fins” are painted in gloss black. In particular, color available is the metallic blue color Azzuro Thetis, whose tone varies with the angle of the light.

How about the interior? Here one can find the leather Sabbia Nefertem wrapped saloon and a great attention to the detail. At last, the Roadster includes Dione 20”/21” rims, crafted in light forged aluminum.

But what is the Aventador all about? Speed of course! LP700-4 Roadster accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in only 3 seconds flat and has a maximum speed of 350 km/h. These numbers a possible thanks to its great aerodynamics and the 6.5 liter aspirated V12.

The latter produces 700 hp (515 kW), and is mated to an ISR 7-speed gearbox. The V12 also includes a cylinder deactivation system when the engine is working at partial capacity. On the other hand the Stop & Start system features high-performance capacitors known as supercaps to awaken the engine.

Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster has a starting price of 300,000 euro.

Molto Veloce: DMC Lamborghini Aventador LP-900 [VIDEO]

Two weeks ago we have seen an exceptional tuning of Lamborghini Aventador LP-900 performed by German Luxury Tuner DMC. Now we are pleased to see a trailer which showcases this unique transformation.

This tuning in particular is a combination of aerodynamic Carbon Fiber parts including diffusers, lips, and spoilers, exhaust system of Titanium and a staggering 900 hp (662 kW) Engine Performance upgrade.

To go further into details, the expressive front fascia of the Lamborghini includes a redesigned spoiler sword and a stunning front-splitter lip, all made of pure carbon fiber. They fit onto the stock-bumper, installation is very swift.

The new side skirt diffusers enhance the aerodynamics and bring more road stability. The rear fascia is also new. Again it is made of a lightened carbon fiber diffusor and an added tunnel system. As a matter of fact, both items deliver better down force on the rear axle. The rear wing spoiler which supports aerodynamics on the rear axle rounds off the tuning.

But more importantly, here we should pay additional attention to the performance modifications. These feature twelve unique single intake throttle plates, one per each cylinder. Other enhancements include optimized engine electronics, an electronic load pressure control system and a completely new wiring.

Furthermore, a brand new Titanium Exhaust system is added which weighs only a 1/10 of its original weight counting only 3.45 KG. As mentioned in the beginning, the result is whopping 900 hp (662 kW), instead of factory’s 700HP (514 kW).

2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 with Start/Stop System

2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 is now going to include the innovative and extremely fast start/stop system with supercaps for energy storage. In addition this system improves the cylinder deactivation under partial load and brings great savings in fuel consumption.

In fact, here Lamborghini is using a highly advanced technology for its new Start/Stop system. The energy for re-start following a stop phase is delivered by high-performance capacitors known as supercaps. The latter allow extremely fast start-up, where the entire V12 power is available again in 180 milliseconds.

Furthermore this new technology also delivers a weight saving of three kilograms. The classic vehicle battery supplies only the electronic systems. In addition, the second new efficiency technology is named the Cylinder Deactivation System (CDS).

CDS disables one cylinder bank when the car is under low load and at speeds of less than 135 km/h. This allows the power unit to run as an inline six. Both CDS and the start/stop system work incredibly quickly.

Nevertheless, they still manage to deliver great fuel efficiency – the average fuel consumption of the Aventador LP 700-4 drops by seven percent to 16 liters/100km. At highway speeds of around 130 km/h the reduction in consumption and emissions is as much as 20 percent. In total the CO2 emissions of the Aventador have been reduced from 398 g/km to 370 g/km.

Another refinement has been done on the chassis setup. The razor-sharp handling is more precise, ride comfort has been enhanced, the springs are stiffer and the dampers – optimized. In addition, the car runs on new forged alloy wheels in the Dione design.

Carbon fiber can be found in many parts of this Lamborghini model. In addition, substantial proportion of the super sports car’s technological superiority is thanks to its CFRP monocoque.

This is a material which takes on an even higher profile with a package of optional CFRP components. For instance such are the front spoiler, air intakes, engine cover panel, powertrain cladding and interior applications.

All items can be installed without visibly damaging the Aventador since they either exchange for the OEM parts, or conveniently add-on, which guarantees that the car can be brought back to its original state of art, at any time

The performance modifications include 12 unique single intake throttle plates, one per each cylinder. Gasoline pumps and – lines, as well as pressure modulators and injection nozzles will be replaced by own new components. Optimized engine electronics, an electronic load pressure control system and a completely new wiring will be added. The engine will be rebranded as LP900. The power-mod is supported by a brand new Titanium Exhaust system, which weighs only a 1/10 of it’s original weight. Counting only 3.45 KG, compared with the 34 KG stock exhaust was only possibly by using the high-tech Titanium, a material also used in space-ships.

As you may suggest the result is whopping 900HP (660kW), instead of factory’s 700HP (514 kW).

The aerodynamics package is EUR 25,000 and the brand new Interior costs EUR 10,000. DMC’s wheel set starts at EUR 10,000, and the Titanium Exhaust brings an additional EUR 5,500.

Mansory Carbonado Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

There are only six of these Lamborghini Aventadors most, probably because there isn’t any more carbon-fiber left in the world. It’s the Mansory Carbonado – “Black Diamond” Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. All of the additional Mansory body components are made of prepeg autoclave carbon-fiber and all fit “seamlessly into the car”. We beg to differ.

The bumper is all new and redesigned with now better inlets. There’s a new lip spoiler as well. The hood has been completely replaced and even the fenders which now enhance the width of the Aventor by 40 millimeters. The side sills now “steady the airflow” between the wheelbase and simultaneously channel air to the engine and the big brakes. At the back, a diffuser works alongside a rear wing so the rear wheels never run out of grip (not that an AWD Lambo tends to do that). There’s one more thing – the roof and the engine cover have also been replaced and the material? You guessed it. It’s carbon-fiber. The forged wheels with carbon-fiber inlays are equally impressive standing at sizes 9.0 x 20 and 13.0 x 21. The tires wrapped around them measure at the impressive VA 255/30 ZR20 and HA 345/25 ZR21.

Mansory Carbonado Lamborghini Aventador Black-Diamond

It’s not all flash and… carbon with this “Black Diamond” since the guys at Mansory have also tweaked the power and have thrown in a high-performance exhaust system. That means 754 PS at 8300 rpm and 750 Nm of torque at 6000 rpm, an acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 355 km/h.

Inside, the seats and dashboard are all treated leather. Just when you think that there’s no place to slot in some carbon-fiber, Mansory manage to amaze us with several carbon woven components. Other than that, the wheel is completely different while the “non-slip” aluminium pedals complete the look.

So there you have it, the Mansory Carbonado Lamborghini Aventador “Black Diamond” in all of it’s glory. You like?

Prindiville Lamborghini Aventador J Concept delivers 805 horsepower

2012 Prindiville Lamborghini Aventador J is the latest concept by the exceptional tuners from Prindiville. Although only one image has leaked, we all can see the outstanding stance of the one-off road-legal vehicle.

In details, Prindiville’s latest design is based on the Lamborghinis Murciélago and Aventador LP700-4 coupé. The latter is now on sale as a Limited Edition series of only eight examples around the globe.

But let’s go further into details and see what is planned for this amazing machine. In order to enhance the performance and handling, the Prindiville J Concept will be significantly lighter and agile. This will happen due to the replacement of many original panels with carbon fibre ones.

Furthermore, the ECU of the 6.5-litre twelve-cylinder powerplant is planned to be remapped to increase the output from 700 hp (515 kW) to 805 hp (592 kW). This means that the Lamborghini will be able to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in only around 2.5 seconds! The top speed here will be over 220 mph (350 km/h).

In addition to this there will be also a 15% power upgrade. This will be possible due to bespoke twin Prindiville titanium or stainless steel exhaust system tailored to the stringent demands of a car at home on the road or track.

2012 Prindiville Lamborghini Aventador J Concept Limited Edition

Other modifications planned are the upgraded braking and adjustable suspension systems, which include high performance ceramic discs.

What is more here is that the interior panels and air vents of the Aventador J are made of high-grade milled aluminium. On the other hand, the renowned Prindiville insignia has been etched into the jet black driver and passenger seats. The latter will be wrapped with the finest Italian leather and alcantara.

The interior of the car will include a five-inch LCD TV screen which will grant access to the one-of-a-kind Prindiville Entertainment system. In this system there is everything one driver needs: a DVD player, satellite navigation, and bespoke software featuring maps, setups, and telemetry of some of the most well-known race circuits across the globe, spanning from Silverstone to Laguna Seca.

Of course, the passengers in the car will have the delight to enjoy the surround sound thank to the 1000-watt hand- built Italian subwoofer amplifiers.

Pagani Huayra in the Making [VIDEO]

Here’s a Pagani Huayra. Beautiful isn’t it? However, when it goes on sale in 2013, prices will start from $1,150,000. I think “Huayra” is the sound one makes upon signing a deal. This is roughly the price of four Lamborghini Aventadors. What are Pagani‘s arguments on that? Yes, it has an AMG V12, 6.0-liter engine that develops above 700 hp and 1000Nm of torque, it’s clever enough to operate, by itself, a set of flaps that can either reduce drag or increase downforce and it will most probably do 230 mph when pressed. But, because it is such an engineering perfection, it will be horrible to live with – Imagine this: You get in it, start the ignition and an oil well in Sahara evaporates. Whenever you see a speed hump, you’ll have to spend precious time in looking for an alternative route and how are you going to take the children to school in it? A BMW M5 suddenly seems much more “sensible” and fit for the job.

So in an attempt to justify the Huayra‘s cosmic price, Pagani have released a documentary about the process of building one. It’s rather good and it accents on the fact that the people making it are painfully striving towards attention to detail perfection. The rear emblem starts as a block of aluminum which is due to undergo a 24h carving procedure. The design process of the whole car took 5 years of research and inspiration (partly drawn from Leonardo da Vinci, obviously).

Set aside 15 minutes to watch the clip and afterward, you’ll close the browser with a sense of awe. You still might not get convinced to sell your house, sell your other house and the yacht in order to order one, but you’ll leave home knowing something about a great car, from a great car manufacturer. And that is always useful in the pub.
