Naming

The name Aventador ( German (free): " kick someone in the butt " ) goes back to the same fight animal. The bull Aventador was founded in 1993 as a particularly brave. He also distinguished by its low combat weight was just above the minimum weight.

Technology

The self-supporting body ( monocoque ) of the Aventador as has already made ​​the study of the Sesto Elemento largely of carbon- fiber reinforced plastic. Therefore, the Aventador with 1575 kg is 90 kg lighter than its predecessor, the Murciélago. The engine is as that of its predecessor, a longitudinally mounted V12 mid- engine with 6.5 liter displacement. It delivers a maximum of 515 kW ( 700 hp) at 8250/min and has a maximum torque of 690 Newton meters at 5500 rpm. The power is transmitted to all four wheels. The power to weight is less than the Murcielago, it is 3.06 kg / kW (2.25 kilograms per hp). The Aventador consumes 16.0 l/100 km, / km corresponds to CO2 emissions of 370 g.

As transmission Lamborghini is building a so-called " Independent Shift Rod " gearbox manufacturer Graziano Trasmissioni that can be placed both in an automatic mode and a manual mode operated by paddle shifters. Gear changes can be accomplished with this newly developed transmission in only 50 milliseconds. In addition, the ISR transmission is only about half as much as a dual clutch transmission and requires only half as much space.

When the monocoque chassis and Lamborghini took bonds from racing. So suspensions are used at unequal length wishbones in Formula 1. The upper control arm actuates the horizontally mounted spring - damper units on toggle ( " pushrod suspension "). The advantage of this design is the better response and lower unsprung mass. The monocoque, which weighs by the use of carbon fibers only 147.5 kilograms, carries mainly a safety advantage, as in the case of an accident, the occupants are in a safe passenger compartment.

Equipment

The Aventador has leather seats and an inset into the center console TFT screen. He does not start with a classic key, but with a start button, located under a red cover, similar to the fire button of a fighter jet. Outdoor fall on especially the wedge shape ( at higher speeds ) outgoing cooling vents at the rear and the varying in height rear wing. The design is based on the concept car Sesto Elemento and the special edition Lamborghini Reventón. Like its predecessor, the Murciélago has the Aventador scissor doors.
