Feast your eyes on this spate of pictures of Lamborghini�s brimstone-respiring Murci�lago replacement�which is all but guaranteed to be called the Aventador LP700-4. As you can see, it�s as feral and vulgar as a Lamborghini flagship should be.
The Aventador�s bulging front fender dominates the car�s profile, but it would be impossible to miss the air intake behind the driver�s door�it�s big enough to kick a football through. That intake will be gulping air for the all-new 6.5-liter V-12 (which we described in detail last month). There will be tremendous stoppers at all four corners, a requirement when the brakes have to rein in 700 hp and 509 lb-ft of torque.
Rather than aluminum or steel, the Aventador makes use of a carbon-fiber monocoque, similar in theory if not execution to that of the Sesto Elemento concept, which will help keep weight down. Add the trick, single-clutch transmission that the company says shifts faster than any dual-clutch unit�Lambo hasn�t allowed any instrumented testing on its prototypes yet�and it seems like the Aventador will tick all the boxes on the bleeding-edge-supercar checklist.
