Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 (2012)

CAR GARAGE | Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 (2012) | The technology package of the Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador is utterly unique. The new twelve-cylinder with 6.5 liters' displacement and 515 kW / 700 hp brings together the ultimate in high-revving pleasure with low-end torque Astonishing. The ISR transmission is unique Among road-going vehicles, guaranteeing the fastest shifting time (only 50 milliseconds) and a highly emotional shift feel, while the lightweight chassis with push rod suspension delivers absolute precision handling and competition-level performance.

The expressively-designed interior offers hi-tech features ranging from the TFT cockpit display with Drive Select Mode system. With the Aventador LP700-4, the future of the super sports car is now part of the present. Its exceptional package of innovative technologies is unique, its performance simply Overwhelming," says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. Overall, the dynamics and technical excellence of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 makes it unrivaled in the worldwide super sports car arena. "

Every Lamborghini is an avant-garde work of art, a fast-moving technical sculpture. Every line, every detail of a super sports car from Sant'Agata is derived from its function - namely speed, dynamics, performance. With the new Aventador LP700-4, the Centro Stile designers at the Lamborghini in Sant'Agata Bolognese have taken this philosophy committed to a whole new level - its extreme, razor-sharp lines portray a precision That is without parallel in automotive design. And its clean, and expertly links Executed surfaces demonstrate the exceptional competence and depth of experience Possessed by Lamborghini in carbon-fiber body shell design.

This also addresses the aim of obtaining a better aerodynamic coefficient, continuing Lamborghini's design philosophy of 'form follows function'. The most Important switch is hidden Beneath a red switch cover - the start button, the which instantly fires the high-performance engine into life. The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 offers a state-of-the-art and comprehensive lineup of electronic vehicle, entertainment and communication systems. These functions are operated in a clear and intuitive manner via the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) on the center console, featuring a large push / turn control and eight function keys.

The twelve-cylinder is the king of the engine world and the true heart of the Lamborghini brand. The Now the next milestone in this glorious history Appears - Lamborghini engineers in the R & D Department have developed a completely new high-performance power unit. Ten cylinders are ideal in the displacement class around the five liter mark, as evidenced by the highly acclaimed Gallardo engine. lower number of cylinders would result in larger and heavier pistons and con-rods, the which would have a negative impact on the engine's high-revving characteristics.

Especially for high durability, the synchronizing rings are made from carbon-fiber - a material with the which Lamborghini has enormous experience. The short shift times are facilitated by the special design of the transmission, known as ISR - Independent Shifting Rod. To summarize the principle - in a conventional manual gearbox, be it automated or fully manual, the gear wheels for, say, second and third gears are located side by side. When the driver wants to shift gear, the shifting sleeve with synchronizer unit is moved along the shifting rod from second gear to third gear through neutral.
