Lamborghini Aventador SV


Brutally powerful and obscenely flamboyant, the Aventador is unburdened by reality. Crazy expensive and crazy fast, it’s capable of amazing performance without feeling like it’s going to spin out into a ditch, which is refreshing in a supercar. Available as a coupe (for now), it has a 6.5-liter 730-hp V-12, a 7-speed automated manual transmission and all-wheel drive. For the ultimate, the Superveloce has 740 hp and a claimed top speed of 217 mph. In our testing, it did 0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds.

The Italian in the driver’s seat could have fallen from the pages of a men’s fashion magazine. Perfectly tailored suit, meticulously cropped hair, runway gaze everywhere he looks. As he races through Valencia, Spain, he turns another roundabout into a shallow chicane, powers down the straight, and grabs the next gear with fingers wrapped in a leather driving glove. Avicii’s sugary club pop plinks out the soundtrack to a scene so stereotypically Italian—so perfectly Lamborghini.


The newfound dexterity stems from a rear-wheel steering system that can nudge the rear wheels up to 1.5 degrees in the opposite direction of the fronts during low-speed maneuvers. It chops the amount of steering input required from the driver, a fact that’s especially prominent in hairpin curves and in parking-lot maneuvers, where it makes the difference between rolling your wrists and crossing your arms. The rear steering also makes the car slightly more neutral, although it doesn’t eliminate the Aventador’s natural proclivity for understeer. With all-wheel drive and stickier, redesigned Pirelli P Zero rubber, the big Lambo resists power-on oversteer, but lift off the throttle at the cornering limit and the Aventador slowly rotates into a drift. It all adds up to an Aventador that is more sensitive and better attuned to the driver’s inputs. The rear end wriggles under hard braking, the steering issues more immediate commands, and the throttle wants to be tickled just so through the corners.

Lamborghini Murcielago

The Lamborghini Murciélago (Spanish for "bat") is a supercar produced by Italian automaker Lamborghini between 2001 and 2010. Successor to the Diablo and flagship of the automaker's lineup, the Murciélago was introduced as a coupé in 2001. The Murcielago was first available in North America for the 2002 model year. The automaker's first new design in eleven years, the car was also the brand's first new model under the ownership of German parent company Audi, which is owned by Volkswagen. It is styled by Peruvian-born Belgian Luc Donckerwolke, Lamborghini's head of design from 1998 to 2005.

A roadster version was introduced in 2004, followed by the updated LP 640 coupé and roadster and limited edition LP 650–4 Roadster. The final variation to wear the Murciélago nameplate was the LP 670–4 SuperVeloce, powered by the largest and final evolution of the Lamborghini V12 engine. Production of the Murciélago ended on 5 November 2010, with a total run of 4,099 cars. Its successor, the Aventador, was released at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show.


The Murciélago is an all-wheel drive, mid-engined supersports car. With an angular design and an exceptionally low slung body, the highest point of the roof is just under 4 feet above the ground. One of the vehicle's most distinguishing features are its scissor doors. which lends to the extreme image. First-generation Murciélagos, produced between 2001 and 2006, were powered by a Lamborghini V12 that traces its roots back to the company's beginnings in the 1960s. The rear differential is integrated with the engine itself, with a viscous coupling center differential providing drive to the front wheels. Power is delivered through a 6-speed manual transmission. The Murciélago suspension uses an independent double-wishbone design, and bodywork features carbon fiber, steel and aluminum parts. The rear spoiler and the active air intakes integrated into the car's shoulders are electromechanically controlled, deploying automatically only at high speeds in an effort to maximize both aerodynamic and cooling efficiency.

The first generation cars were produced between 2001 and 2006, and known simply as Murciélago, sometimes Murciélago VT. Their V12 engines produced just under 580 PS (572 hp), and powered the car to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.8 seconds.[10] Subsequent versions incorporated an alphanumeric designation to the name Murciélago, which indicated their engine configuration and output. However, the original cars are never referred to as "LP 580s". A first generation Murciélago Roadster was used in the 2005 movie Batman Begins.

LAMBORGHINI VENENO

The Lamborghini Veneno Roadster takes the aerodynamic efficiency of a racing prototype onto everyday roads. This super sports car is characterized by optimal aerodynamics in order to guarantee stability in fast curves and a behavior like a racing prototype. All of this on a car devised for the road. The perfect car for sports-driving lovers.



DESIGN A MASTERPIECE OF POWER AND LIGHTNESS INSPIRED BY AERONAUTICS.

Here are the technical specifications of the new Veneno: with a 6.5 liter aspirated V12 engine and a top speed of 355 km/h, this Lamborghini concept car represents state-of-the-art design inspired by aeronautics, capable of giving you the indescribable feeling of flying on the road. Faithful to the Lamborghini lines, the Veneno is characterized by extreme proportions, emerging in the forceful arrow-shaped front as well as alternating razor-sharp lines and sleek, tight surfaces.

PERFORMANCE LESS WEIGHT, MORE DRIVING FUN.

The Lamborghini Veneno is consistently focused on optimum aerodynamics and cornerning stability, giving the vehicle the authentic, dynamic experience of a racing prototype, yet it is fully certified for the road.
The lightweight design of the carbon fiber frame is not only visibly evident, it also proves itself on the scales with a power-to-weight ratio of 1.93 kg/hp (4.23 CV/lbs), and thanks to its forceful twelve-cylinder, the Veneno guarantees a performance that is nothing short of mind-blowing.

DESIGN AERODYNAMICS AND HIGH-TECH INTERIOR.

Just like the front end, the rear of the Veneno has also been optimized for underbody aerodynamics and high speed cornering stability. The carbon fiber monocoque is also visible inside the car, most notably in the area of the central tunnel and the sills.
The two lightweight bucket seats are made from Lamborghini's patented Forged Composite. The lightweight woven carbon fiber CarbonSkin is used to clad the entire cockpit, part of the seats and the headliner. These measures help reduce the weight and increase the driving fun up to unprecedent levels.

lamborghini suv

lamborghini suv (Lamborghini Urus)
Once the Porsche introduced its SUV back in 2003, it was only a matter of time before other famous names in automotive industry start producing vehicles for this segment. After a long period of rumors, speculations, and whispers, it seems that Lamborghini will also introduce a vehicle of this kind which bears a rather odd name, Urus. Even though the vehicle seems to be oddly named, the name is actually appropriate for the newcomer. The word “urus” represents the ancient ancestor of cow, which went extinct and disappeared in 1627. These things were rather massive, tall, and heavy and generally the largest bulls ever recorded.

2017 Lamborghini Urus will probably be the largest vehicle in its segment and that is why it boasts such a name. Now when you know why Lambo gave the newcomer this name, let’s return to the vehicle itself. Many people think that Lamborghini can’t create and build a successful SUV. Well, we are also suspicious because the company’s LM002 which arrived in 1993 with only 328 cars being produced was not a really successful SUV. Yet, when we think of it, it is Lamborghini right? They can do anything they want and let’s check if they are able to win the mighty Porsche and Bentley’s SUVs.

EXTERIOR OF 2017 LAMBORGHINI URUS

If you ask any car expert out there why the LM002 was not a successful model, you will get a bunch of answers which lead to the same thing: The LM002 was not a recognizable Lamborghini. Most of them would agree that the vehicle looked like a Humvee with Lamborghini badge on it. The upcoming 2017 Urus will be a recognizable Lamborghini, with recognizable aggressive style and hard angles. Lamborghini lovers and fans will love it, without any doubt.

It is clearly visible where the company found inspiration for the newcomer, the Aventador. The headlights are smaller than the ones we have seen on the flagship Aventador but they are still creating the “Y” shape we all love. The headlights arrive with LED technology. The front bumper arrives with air intakes which are similar to the Aventador’s cutouts. When it comes to the rear end of the 2017 Lamborghini Urus, it will be the sexiest rear end you have ever seen with recognizable Lamborghini hard angles and excellently designed taillights.


2017 LAMBORGHINI URUS INTERIOR

When you peek inside of the cabin of the new 2017 Lamborghini Urus, you will see something different from what you have seen before. Unlike other SUVs, the cabin of the Urus accommodates up to four passengers at the time. Almost entire interior component was built out of carbon fiber reinforced polymer. Thanks to this, the company managed to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle. Behind the wheel of the car, you will only find the paddle shifters. When it comes to the turn signals, wipers, and lights, they are controlled via the screen placed behind the wheel or via multifunction steering wheel.


ENGINE OF LATEST 2017 LAMBORGHINI URUS

The engine of the new Urus is what makes the vehicle recognizable Lamborghini. The 2017 Lamborghini Urus hides a 4.0-liter twin-boosted V-8 engine under its hood. If the rumors are true, the engine will be able to produce over 600 ponies. There are no details about torque, but we assume that the level of torque will be above 700 pound-feet. Power will be routed through a dual-clutch gearbox to all wheels of the car. The company will improve the all-wheel drive system with a traction control to make sure that everything is nice and grippy for the customers.
