Aventador Lamborghini LP 700-4: The test track in Express Car News

Campagnano - After the recent presentation of the Lamborghini Aventador the Roman circuit of Vallelunga, We offer you two interesting Test Video made on the track, the first analyzes its dynamic behavior the other is devoted mainly to the technique of supercritical new Lamborghini. Recall that with the Aventador Lamborghini LP 700-4 the House of Sant'Agata Bolognese sets a new benchmark in the world of sports supercar.

The new 12-cylinder engine from 6.5 liters displacement and 700 hp / 515 kW of power is distinguished by its characteristics of ease of ascent at high speeds and rapid response speed. The dry weight of just 1575 kg (3472 lb), very low for a car of this class, resulting in a weight ratio of 2.25 kg / hp (4.96 lb / hp).

The outstanding value of acceleration of 2.9 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h top speed of 350 km / h (217 mph) can only partially describe the extreme performance of the Lamborghini Aventador that despite the clear increase in power (+8%) showed values of consumption and CO2 emissions 20% lower than the previous model.

"With the LP 700-4 Aventador becomes reality, the future of our supercar. Its contents are highly innovative technological exclusivity exception, his performances are just whit, "said Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. "The Aventador represents a jump of two generations in terms of design and technology, is the result of a totally new project, which at the same time gives continuity to the brand Lamborghini consistently linear.

It is extreme in the design and performance, without compromise in terms of technology, is unmistakably Italian in style and perfection of finish. In relation to the dynamism and technological competence Aventador LP 700-4 is unrivaled in the world of super. "The terms of design of the new Lamborghini V12 (project code: L539) was established quickly, but with wording very demanding in terms of content.

Of course, the new engine had to provide more power and torque than the previous V12 Murciélago, but at the same time had to be smaller, lighter and a low center of gravity can be determined, as these are equally important factors that affect the performance of a 'sports car. Moreover, the target of the project imposed a clear reduction of fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

R & D engineers Lamborghini set to work from a "white paper" - obviously to be understood figuratively, as in Sant'Agata Bolognese, the design and development work is conducted using the most modern systems. Thus was born a powerful V12 engine, which with a classic 60-degree angle between the cylinder banks is very compact package measuring just 665 mm in height (including vacuum), 848 mm in width (including exhaust manifolds), in length 784 mm.

The engine weight is respectable: 235 kg, equal to about 1 kg to 3 hp maximum power. As tradition has it, the new Lamborghini supercar of bearing the name of a bull, of course, to one of the bravest in the world of Spanish bullfighting. "Aventador", in fact, was the name of a bull in October 1993, following the fight in the arena of Saragossa, received the "Trofeo de la Peña La Madroñera" for having shown the bravest bull during the bullfight .

From the standpoint of design, the new model is now unmistakably Aventador Lamborghini design language for its highly impactful the extremely dynamic proportions, the clear surfaces and the strong personality that expresses the smallest detail. Aventador for the designers of the Lamborghini Style Centre have given continuity to the design DNA, making it even stronger, reaching a masterpiece of avant-garde design, a sculpture by extreme dynamism, which extends from the front, pointed to a very low silhouette of the roof aesthetic impact to the rear diffuser.

Each line has a clear aerodynamic function, each shape is inspired by the speed and everything is translated into a complex personality that can only be called spectacular, breathtaking. The shell of the new super sports car Lamborghini is an "integral": Unlike other solutions, combines in a single-cell structure of the interior, floor and roof of the car, ensuring a high structural stiffness and therefore maximum performance in terms of dynamic and passive safety.

The monocoque module weighs only 147.5 pounds. The central and the two-piece front and rear mounts are an engineering solution for high structural rigidity, equal to 35,000 Nm / ° and low weight of just 229.5 kg The new Lamborghini monocoque consists of several parts each having a function specific, such as reinforcing elements made Braiding technology, the most effective way to absorb energy in the event of an accident.

After being subjected to a compression process, the structure acts as a single component, comprising both the bottom and the roof. The concept of the camper has advantages that other methods, such as those involving the bottom in one single structure with metal roof attached in a conventional way, it makes possible.

For this reason Lamborghini has chosen this solution. The whole monocoque weighs only 147.5 kg. The weight of its engine is only 235 kg, with 700 hp (515 kW) at 8,250 rpm, sets a new benchmark in the world of supercars. The torque reaches its maximum of 690 Nm at 5,500 rpm. The evolution of the extremely generous torque curve, the excellent qualities of recovery at any speed, in order to reliably transmit power to the road so far, the driver of the LP 700-4 Aventador can always rely on the permanent four-wheel drive wheel drive, the number "4" added to the model designation stands for just that.

The distribution of torque between the front and rear wheels is via a Haldex electronically controlled transfer case. Drive Select Mode allows the system to adapt to the dynamic behavior of vehicle-specific preferences of the driver, offering how "Road", "Sport" and "Race" to select different configurations of engine management, transmission, distribution of torque to the wheels and steering .

The suspension has a very sophisticated scheme. Inspired by the world of Formula 1, the system equipped with spring and damper pushrod is adapted perfectly to the needs of high-performance road car. The lightweight frame, along with a double triangle suspension of aluminum and carbon-ceramic brake system, is another strong point of the unique technological solutions that characterize the new flagship model of Lamborghini.

In the early 60 Ferruccio Lamborghini decided to establish a production car because he wanted to do better than all rivals of the time with a superior product in terms of technical quality and finishing. Even the prototype of all subsequent Sant'Agata supercar, namely the 350 GTV presented at the Turin Show in 1963, was equipped with a V12 all-aluminum designed by Giotto Bizzarrini.

The performances were stunning for the time then. Equipped with four camshafts in the head (usually at the time was still used camshafts individual), 6 carburetors double body and dry sump lubrication system, the V12 with 3497 cm3 and a 60-degree angle between the cylinder banks it distributed 360 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and had a top speed of 280 km / h.

The version of the GT 350 series, introduced in 1964, was equipped with a V12 cylinder cm3di 3464 that produced 320 horsepower at 7,000 rpm, the lubrication system was of conventional design. It was this engine that on the Lamborghini Miura left amazed anyone who saw the Geneva Motor Show in 1966.

Although it is basically already known from the 400 GT, the 4-liter V12 was placed transversely between the cockpit and rear axle, gearbox and differential combined in one piece to the engine block. The 320 hp and a top speed of over 280 km / h Miura made the next series of the fastest road car in the world, in addition to its being classified as the first true supercar.

Receiving numerous developments and improvements in subsequent years, the engine was used on models Miura S (370 hp at 7,000 rpm, 285 km / h) and Miura SV (385 hp, 300 km / h). The Jota - a special version of the Miura SV, prepared for the competitions - the V12 it distributed 440 hp at 8,500 rpm.

The use of 4-liter V12 is not, however, remained limited to the assembly in a central position on the various versions of the Miura. Even in the front position on the 1968 Islero and it distributed 400 GT Jarama 350 HP. The futuristic Espada initially produced 325 hp, then increased to 350 hp.

The 1974 was also the year in which ESPAD was offered for the first time an automatic transmission. In the early seventies comes the generational change, with the passage of the new Miura LP400 Countach, which had started in 1971 as a prototype of a lounge. It was a revolutionary car, whose innovative style, shocking, completely new Marcello Gandini is found in trace remains after forty years in the Lamborghini supercar.

Its 5-liter V12 engine, an expansion appeared a bit 'too optimistic, 4 l, will then be reduced in 1973. The Countach - in 1973 even without the flashy wing of the eighties - the V12 mounted longitudinally in the rear, delivering a power of 375 hp at 8,000 rpm, making it a top speed of 300 km / h.

Over the years the engine of the Countach was subjected to various developmental interventions, the basic mechanism remains, however, note that the original V12. In 1985, finally, the Countach Quattrovalvole rode a V12 equipped with four valves per cylinder head. The displacement exceeded for the first time the 5-liter (5167 cm3), while the power reached impressive 455 hp at 7,000 rpm.

In 1989 appears the first model equipped with four-wheel drive Lamborghini, the Diablo VT. In subsequent years the growing power of the V12: a 520 bhp on the Diablo SE (1993), 575 bhp on the Diablo GT (1999) and finally to 590 hp for the model radical Diablo GTR (1999). The Diablo 6.0 was the first model that was equipped with a V12 plus a 6-liter 550-hp.

Finally in 2001 with the Murcielago is Lamborghini presented the first model of modern times. The new all-alloy V12 engine has a displacement of 6.2 liters, the crankshaft is based on seven main bearings, the lubrication system is of the dry sump and the power of 580 hp at 7,500 rpm drives in over 330 km / h top speed of this supercar with a dry weight of just 1,650 kg.

The maximum torque of 650 Nm is reached at 5,400 rpm. Lamborghini LP 700-4 Aventador package offers the most modern equipment, technology, rich and customized for a first ever super del Toro. From driving dynamics to the security, from communication to entertainment to Aventador can satisfy even the most demanding enthusiasts supercar.
