Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4
Lamborghini has announced that the Aventador will come with a new 6.5-liter V12 engine with an AWD layout that produces 700 horsepower and 479 lb/ft of torque. It is the first all-new Lamborghini developed engine since the Countach. This engine will be able to get from 0-60 mph in just 2.5 seconds while blasting off a top speed of 217 mph and a redline of 8,250 RPM. With a total weight of 1575 Kg it will deliver a power to weight ratio of 2.25 Kg/hp.

The Aventador’s engine is mated to an all-new “Lamborghini ISR” – the ISR stands for Independent Shifting Rod - seven-speed single clutch automated manual gearbox that combines quick shift time with manual shifting, which proves to be quite useful when a car has a low weight and compact dimensions.

The ISR gearbox allows the Aventador to shift gears almost simultaneously. It comes with two modes and 50 millisecond shifts that works in such fashion that when one of the shifting rods is moving out of one gear, the second rod is already shifting on to the next. Another important aspect of the new Lamborghini transmission fits perfectly with the company’s new goal of making its supercars more lightweight: the ISR transmission weighs in at only 79 kilos – about 174 pounds – significantly lighter than any other DSG transmission out on the market..
 

One other notable thing about the new supercar is that it’s going to be lighter than its predecessor, the Murcielago, especially after Lamborghini CEO Stephen Winkelmann has made it known that the company intends to shed off pounds off of Lamborghinis, including on the Aventador, which is rumored to be using a carbon fiber monocoque chassis that drops the supercar’s weight by 500 lbs from the Murcielago while also increasing its rigidity by over 70%.

Preorders are already being taken with price tags starting at $350,000..
