Chronology
Predecessor	Lamborghini Murciélago

The Lamborghini Aventador is a mid-engined sports car produced by the Italian manufacturer Automobili Lamborghini.

Launched on 28 February 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show, five months after its initial unveiling in Sant'Agata Bolognese, the vehicle, internally codenamed LB834, was designed to replace the ten-year-old Murciélago as the new flagship model.

Soon after the Aventador unveiling, Lamborghini announced that it had already sold over 12 of the production vehicles, with deliveries starting in the second half of 2011.

The Aventador was designed by Lamborghini Centro Stile under the directorship of Italian designer Filippo Perini. Similar to the earlier limited-edition Lamborghini Reventon, its heavy use of sharp creases and planar surfaces are indicative of Lamborghini's contemporary styling direction which were directly inspired by the aircraft of the United States Military's Stealth Fighter Program, namely the F-117A Nighthawk and the F-22 Raptor.

In keeping with Lamborghini tradition, the Aventador is also named after a fighting bull. Aventador was a bull that fought particularly valiantly in the bull ring of Saragossa, Spain in 1993.

Aventador LP 700-4

Production will be limited to 4,000 units (4,099 Murciélagos were built). The molds used to make the carbon-fibre monocoque are expected to last 500 units each and only 8 have been made. The base price of the Aventador is $393,695.

The car's shape also borrows heavily from Lamborghini's limited-edition Reventón and their Estoque concept car.

The vehicle was unveiled at Lummus Park, Miami, followed by Miami International Airport, followed by Auto China 2014 (with Nazionale configuration via Lamborghini Ad Personam personalization program).

Specifications

Engine

The Aventador LP 700–4 uses Lamborghini's new 700 PS (510 kW; 690 bhp) 6.5 litre 60° V12 engine weighing 235 kg. Known internally as the L539, the new engine is Lamborghini's fourth in-house engine and second V12. It is the first all-new V12 since the 3.5 litre powerplant found in the 350GT.

Performance

• 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph): 2.9 s
• 400 m (¹⁄₄ mi): 10.6 s @ 220 km/h (137 mph)
• Top speed: Official: 350 km/h (217 mph), measured by Sport Auto magazine: 370 km/h (230 mph)
• 97–0 km/h (60–0 mph): 30 m (100 ft)

Its transmission, a single-clutch seven-speed semi-automatic, is built by Graziano Trasmissioni. Despite being single-clutch, gear-shifts are accomplished in 50 milliseconds.

The new, electronically controlled, all-wheel drive system is developed and supplied by the Swedish company Haldex Traction, offering traction and handling capabilities based on their 4th generation technology.

Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster

The 2013 Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster was announced for production on 27 December 2012, equipped with the same V12 engine as the coupé version, Lamborghini claims again that it can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds and a top speed equaling that of the coupe, at 349 km/h (217 mph).

The removable roof consists of two carbon fiber panels, weighing 6 kg (13 lb) each, which required the reinforcement of the rear pillar to compensate for the loss of structural integrity as well as to accommodate the rollover protection and ventilations systems for the engine. The panels are of easy removal and are stored in the front luggage compartment. The Aventador Roadster has a unique engine cover design and an attachable wind deflector to improve cabin airflow at high speed as well as a gloss black finish in the A-pillars, windshield header, roof panels, and rear window area. The car has a US$441,600 base price. With a total weight of 1,625 kg (3,583 lb) it's only 50 kg (110 lb) heavier than the coupé (the weight of the roof, plus additional stiffening in the sills and A-pillars).

Aventador S 

The Lamborghini Aventador S was unveiled on December 19, 2016 and represents a profound restyling of the Sant'Agata sports car .The 6.5-liter V12 engine has been boosted to 740hp delivered at 8400rpm, 40hp more than the standard version of the Bolognese coupe and 690Nm of torque available at 5500rpm.

The Aventador S received, for the first time in a road car from the house of the bull, the four-wheel steering combined with permanent all-wheel drive and a slightly updated suspension scheme. The suspensions are controlled by a system called Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Attiva ( LDVA ). The LDVA has four selectable modes: Sport , Strada , Corsa and Ego (i.e. the customizable one). Carbon ceramic brakes are standard with a diameter of 400 mm at the front and 380 mm at the rear.

The front has been redesigned with a brand new larger front splitter and two new air cooling ducts in the front bumper. At the rear is a new black-tinted diffuser with larger aerodynamic fins and an exhaust system consisting of three individual central outlets that together create a trapezoidal shape. Overall, the bodywork changes have increased downforce on the front axle by 130% compared to the normal version of the Aventador. 

Aventador SVJ 

Unveiled in August 2018 on the occasion of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the Aventador SVJ (acronym for Super Veloce JOTA ) ^[6] is an evolution of the Aventador S and a more performing version than the Aventador SV, with production planned for 900 specimens. ^[7] The 6.5-liter L539 V12 used on the normal Aventador has been tuned to generate a maximum power of 770hp at 8500rpm and a torque of 720Nm at 6750rpm.

Extensive use of carbon fiber for various components including the bodywork and titanium for the exhaust system brought the weight to 1525kg, giving the car a weight / power ratio of 0.5hp / kg. The Aventador SVJ can accelerate to 0–100 km / h in 2.8 seconds and 0–200 km / h in 8.6 seconds, reaching a top speed of over 352 km / h.

A camouflaged SVJ prototype set a single lap record with a production car on the Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit in July 2018, beating the previous record set by the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, setting a lap time of 6: 44.97 with the test driver Lamborghini Marco Mapelli using Pirelli Pzero Trofeo R tires available as an option.

The Aventador SVJ features Lamborghini's Lamborghini Attiva Aerodynamics (ALA) system. This allows the car to achieve 40% more downforce than the Aventador SV and a 1% reduction in the drag coefficient. The system adds some aerodynamic components to the car including an oversized front splitter, an air intake on the bonnet, a large carbon fiber rear wing, a particular aerodynamic fairing in the underbody with vortex generators and a large rear diffuser. The system works in conjunction with the Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Attiva 2.0 (LDVA 2.0) management system, which uses inertial sensors to control the car's aerodynamics in 500 milliseconds.

The roadster variant of the SVJ was presented at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show and is also expected in a limited series of 800 units. The car includes a removable hard top consisting of two different carbon fiber pieces and retains the same powertrain as the coupe. Performance remains the same as the coupe.

LP780-4 Ultimae

The latest variant of the Aventador was previewed on Lamborghini's social channels in early July 2021.

Called the Ultimae , it is a limited edition version expected in 600 units (350 for the coupe and 250 for the roadster) based on the Aventador S and SVJ. The naturally aspirated engine has been updated to deliver a maximum power of 780hp (10 more than the SVJ) with the same 720Nm torque at 6750rpm as the Aventador SVJ. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 2.8 seconds, with a declared top speed of 355 km / h. The coupe has a curb weight of 1550 kg.

Aesthetically, the car takes up some stylistic elements of the S and SVJ, including respectively the front bumper with integrated splitter from the S and the rear with extractor and high exhausts from the SVJ, but neither the wing nor the systems of channeling of air flows. It is also equipped with a four-wheel steering system and a Brembo carbon-ceramic braking system that allows it to stop from 100 to 0 km / h in about 30 meters. 

Special versions 

Aventador Dreamliner Edition 

To celebrate the partnership of the Emilian company with the aeronautical manufacturer Boeing (which resulted in the creation of the Advanced Composite Structures Laboratory Automobili Lamborghini), a one-of-a-kind Aventador with a white - blue livery inspired by the Boeing 787 Dreamliner was presented during the Aerospace & Defense Seattle 2012 Summit . 

Aventador J 

Barchetta version  without windshield and without emergency hood , the Aventador J is a one-off presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2012, it is one of the most extreme Lamborghini cars ever made.The "J" of the name takes both the initial letter of the 1970 Jota ,  and the so-called Annex J of the International Automobile Federation (which defines the rules for the racing cars of the various groups ).

In practice, it is a full-fledged racing car, which must be driven with a helmet and technical clothing; the rear is dominated by the diffuser which extends over the entire track, while the interior does not renounce sportiness at the expense of luxury. The concept car is aesthetically notable for the absence of the roof and windows; mechanically very similar to the Aventador, it uses the same standard V12 engine, producing 700 hp with a lightened seven-speed automatic transmission. The car does not have air conditioning or a radio to further save weight for a total of 1,575 kg. 

Aventador Dubai Police Department

In 2013, the Dubai city ​​police acquired a Lamborghini Aventador for their fleet. The vehicle, in addition to the addition of the various accessories present on modern steering wheels, also received an upgrade to the engine and a strengthened bodywork.

Aventador LP720-4 50th Anniversary 

To commemorate 50 years of automotive production, Lamborghini presented a special version of the Aventador called the LP720-4 50th Anniversary at the Shanghai Motor Show. The car, produced in only 100 copies in the coupé version and 100 in the convertible version, with a "May Yellow" paint consisting of a layer of transparent and highly reflective particles, is equipped with a new black body kit , new rims of the same color and a new 6.5-liter V12 engine that delivers 20 hp more than the standard version. The interiors take up the same two-tone scheme as the exterior, and have various plates with the number 50 to symbolize the particularity of the car.

The car differs from the other Aventadors by a new specific engine calibration, enlarged and extended front air intakes with a splitter to increase downforce, small fixed carbon flaps on the sides of the bumper, side skirts reworked in matt black. and new rear with an enlarged diffuser and expansive lattice that further improves the ventilation of the engine compartment. 

Aventador LP750-4 Superveloce 

On March 3, 2015 , the most powerful of the Aventadors was presented at the Geneva Motor Show , the LP750-4 Superveloce equipped with an updated engine, with maximum power increased to 750 hp without resorting to supercharging or an electric boost . Thanks to the weight reduced to 1525 kg (about 50 kg less thanks to the extensive use of carbon fiber), the power of the naturally aspirated V12 increased to 750 hp led to a weight / power ratio of 2.03 kg / hp, while peak torque is now 690 Nm at 5,500 rpm, with the limiter shifted upwards to 8,500 rpm. A set of changes that allow you to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 2.8 seconds, from 0 to 200 km / h in 8.6 seconds and from 0 to 300 km / h in 24 seconds, which allow it to reach a maximum speed of 350 km / h.

The car also features an improvement in aerodynamic efficiency, with downforce increased by 180% over the stock Aventador coupé. Notable aerodynamic updates are noticed with the presence of a revised front splitter, larger rear diffuser and a fixed rear wing. The Aventador SV is available in 34 colors. The driving dynamics of the car have also been updated, with new advanced electronic steering for superior maneuverability at high speeds, magnetic pushrod suspension and chassis enhancements and reinforcements to increase stiffness.
