The Lamborghini Aventador is a mid-engined flagship supercar produced by Lamborghini since 2012. It was created to replace the Lamborghini Murciélago, which was last produced in 2010 as the LP 670-4 SV.

Overview[edit | edit source]

In keeping with Lamborghini tradition, the Aventador is named after a fighting bull; in this case, Aventador was the name of a bull that fought particularly valiantly in the bullring of Zaragoza, Spain in 1993.

Each Aventador uses a 6,498 cc (6.5 L; 396.5 in3) naturally aspirated V12, a new in-housed developed one and the first all-new V12 since the 350GT's 3.5 L engine. Internally known as the L539, it makes a minimum of 700 PS (690 hp; 515 kW) and 690 N·m (509 ft·lb).[1]
