When you have a supercar, you obviously have to make concessions when it comes to practicality. These cars are naturally very expensive to maintain and not very convenient to drive. They consume a lot of fuel, can only accommodate two occupants and have an extremely small boot space. However, some people try to maximise the versatility of these vehicles by finding secondary functions for them. This is the case of the owner of this Lamborghini Aventador who tried to grill his sausages with the supercar's V12 during a car meet. The Italian car can indeed make flames when you let off the gas. This is the result of unburned petrol vapors passing through the still very hot exhaust line. The problem is that the car is in an underground garage where there is not enough cool air. Even though the Aventador has a very sophisticated cooling system, screaming the engine at a standstill is clearly not recommended. As a result, the inevitable happens, the V12 starts to overheat and a lot of coolant spills onto the ground. This barbecue is sure to be very pricey.

Last weekend saw the tragic accident of a BMW driver who was flung out of his E92 3 Series convertible along PIE. Condolences to the poor soul who did not survive the crash. Last weekend also saw the not-so-tragic accident of two Lamborghini Aventadors crashing into each other along Sembawang Road on 7 June. The photos of the 2 lamborghinis which crashed into each other went viral among local car clubs with SG Road Vigilante further furnishing us with the video shown here. According to the SGRV's post, the owners of the Aventadors removed their number plates promptly after the accident but its members could spot the similar black bonnet, black strip , white brake caliper and etc. that was similar to another yellow Lamborghini Aventador which was caught driving recklessly at Newton. Check out what netizens have to say about this double crash! Is this a case of 'you get what you deserve'? Or do you guys think the crash is a loss to our local car scene?

The Lamborghini Miura holds a place in the pantheon of all-time great supercars. Lamborghini paid homage to the Miura with an Aventador decked out in vintage cues two years ago, and the company is at it once again. Rather than a limited run of 50 cars like last time, though, this homage is a one-off paint scheme applied to a special Lamborghini Aventador SV. Thanks to DuPont Registry, we know that this car was unveiled at Lamborghini Newport Beach. This very green Aventador SV has been outfitted to honor an equally green Miura SV. That car, referred to by its chassis number of 4846, is one of the finest to run through Lamborghini's Polo Storico restoration division. Polo Storico brought 4846 back to its original glory, including its Miura Green paintwork. Now there's a modern link to that vintage beauty. The Aventador SV shown here wears the same hue on the body and even has a silver lower panel to mimic the Miura. The cabin is finished in tan leather that also matches 4846. Although this Aventador SV is one of just 600 examples built to Super Veloce spec, its Miura-homage paintwork and interior color make it a one-of-one example. We'd say the Aventador SV is already pretty special simply for its 739 horsepower and the glorious noise that accompanies such fury. That all emanates from the 6.5-liter V-12 engine sitting out back. This one takes the special a bit further, though. By paying respect to Lamborghini history, this Aventador SV has cemented a place in future Lamborghini lore.

Lamborghini did consider making a manual Aventador or Huracan
chitchatboy posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
The Porsche 911 GT3 proved that there’s still demand for high-end sports cars with manual transmissions. But why didn't Lamborghini follow suit? Motor Trend posted this question to Lamborghini Chief Executive Stefano Domenicali and he replied saying that Lamborghini did actually researched on whether it made sense to offer manual gearboxes for special edition models of the Huracan and Aventador supercars. Unfortunately, the costs were too high. He went on to elaborate with a case study: if Lamborghini were to build a special edition Aventador with a manual gearbox, cap production to 200 units, and price it $25,000 (S$33,800) above the ‘regular’ Aventador, that would only generate an additional $5 million (S$6.76 million) for the company. It doesn't help that there is no other vehicle in the Volkswagen Group family which it could share a transmission with too. Meanwhile the Huracan might have been able to use the Audi R8's manual gearbox but sadly the six-speeder is no longer produced and again, Lamborghini wouldn’t be able to justify building one from the ground up. Adding on, Lamborghini's researched also deduced that its manual take rate wouldn’t be as high the Porsche GT3 customers' take up rate of more than 50%. -
The Italian car maker has released a short teaser showing its upcoming track-focused Aventador attacking the Nurburgring. With the video being titled “Aventador SVJ meets the Nurburgring”, they have also confirmed the new car's name which also signals the return of the Jota variant. The Diablo was the last lamborghini to have the Jota name back in the mid 90s. It is rumored that Lamborghini has already broken the production car lap record that is set by the Porsche 911 GT2 RS with the new Aventador SVJ. It was said to be two seconds faster than the Porsche. With a new active aero system and more horsepower (around 790bhp), Lamborghini might have just reset the Nurburgring record. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=22&v=2PxJt6bi4tM

After a leaked photo of the latest Aventador's instrument display surfaced, a photo of how the car might look like has appeared online too. According to Carscoops, the will be available in roadster and coupe versions. Dubbed Aventador SVJ which stands for Super Veloce Jotta, the lamborghini will be equipped with the four-wheel steering system of the Centenario, the ALA active aerodynamics of the Huracan Performante and the magnetorheological suspension of the Aventador SV. Beside also being lighter, the car is said to be able to match or surpass its Ferrari V12 rival, the 812 Superfast. This means that it should have more than 790bhp from its naturally-aspirated V12.

Lamborghini unveiled the Aventador S, an updated version of the firm’s flagship supercar boasting an aggressive new look, improved handling and, most important of all, more power. The letter S has previously been used to denote enhanced models from Lamborghini, the previous instances being some true classics like the Miura S and Countach S, and now the tradition continues with the Aventador S. Power still comes from a 6.5-liter V-12 with cylinder deactivation technology but changes to the valve timing and the exhaust—now 20% lighter—has seen output boosted to 730hp and 509 pound-feet of torque. That’s up from 691hp previously. Peak torque is unchanged but according to Lamborghini the torque curve has been made flatter, which should lead to improved response. Finally, maximum revs has been increased from 8,350 to 8,500 rpm. Also unchanged is the Aventador’s Independent Shifting Rod (ISR) transmission. The automated manual unit has always been a bit touchy, especially at lower speeds where it can cause the car to unexpectedly lunge forward at times, and we were hopeful that this unit would receive some revisions. The 0-100km/l time and top speed remain unchanged, coming in at 2.9 seconds and 350km/h, respectively. And the car’s dry weight comes in at 1574kg. Other upgrades include the new aerodynamics, a four-wheel-steering system and magnetic dampers, the latter borrowed from the more extreme Aventador SuperVeloce. Thanks to the aerodynamic changes, front downforce has been improved by more than 130% over the current Aventador. When the car's ring wing is in its optimum position the overall efficiency at high downforce is improved by over 50%, and in a low drag setting by more than 400 percent compared to the current model. The improvements are achieved at the front primarily by the more aggressive nose and longer front splitter and at the rear by the wing and diffuser. In the chassis department, the 4-wheel-steering, the first time used on a production Lamborghini, improves agility at low and medium speeds and stability at high speeds. Further honing the handling are the aforementioned magnetic dampers as well as a new specially developed set of Pirelli P Zero tires that Lamborghini says have been designed for higher lateral acceleration and reduced understeer. Lamborghini also fits carbon-ceramic brake discs as standard on the Aventador S. These help bring the beast to a standstill from 100km/h in 101 feet.

Lamborghini has introduced a new limited edition Aventador S Roadster in conjunction with its 50th anniversary in Japan Dubbed the "Aventador S Roadster 50th Anniversary Japan", the car is limited to five units and one of the units was on display during Lamborghini Day in Tokyo. Paying tribute to the five natural elements of Japanese culture including earth, wind, fire, sky, and water, the water version of the limited series was shown to the public and pictured here. The car's paint job is said to required ten people and 170 hours of labour to complete. We thought the blend of black and blue was pretty awesome... Inside, the car has been gifted with Nero Ade black leather and Nero Cosmus black Alcantara upholstery with blue stitching which "evokes the Japanese symbol for bamboo (Y)."

Kia compares its new Cerato K3 against the Lamborghini Aventador on track
chitchatboy posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
Kia has just recently revealed its new Cerato K3 in America. Feeling pretty confident about its new product, it decides to compare its compact sedan against a supercar, on a track. The supercar they have chosen is nothing lesser than a 6.5-litre V12 690bhp Lamborghini Aventador. Hmmm. Instead of spoiling the video for you by describing what is going to happen in it, we reckon its best you watch the clip yourself... https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=59&v=m7L9XRfGULo -
Lamborghini's Aventador successor will still be naturally-aspirated
chitchatboy posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
With its main rivals like Ferrari and McLaren going down the turbocharged route, Lamborghini wants to stand out by staying in the naturally-aspirated camp. According to Car Advice which interviewed the company boss, Stefano Domenicali at the recent Aventador S launch in Spain, he was quoted saying that "Our position in the [Volkswagen] group must be different, and a naturally-aspirated V12 engine is part of that difference. I don’t think we will be left behind at all by not adopting turbo charging. There is space for us to be different". “It is totally different, because it remains our reference point for being Lamborghini. Our position within the group must be different from the others and the more we go to electrification, for example, the more the cars will be the same," He went on to add that he is confident that the firm’s V12 still has some life in it despite increasingly strict emissions regulations around the world. The current model is expected to last another five year or so before it is replaced. -
Lamborghini Aventador SV goes sub-7 minutes at the Green Hell
chitchatboy posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
The new Lamborghini Aventador SV has just gone sub-7 minutes at the Green Hell and is only 3 seconds away from beating the Porsche's 918 Spyder hypercar. The 740bhp Aventador SV was clocked doing its 6 minutes and 59.73 seconds lap while doing development tests with Pirelli for the P Zero Corsa tyre. Considering how much more expensive and advanced the Porsche hypercar is, we certainly did not expect the bull to come so close to the hybrid's lap time. As a reference, Nissan's well-honed Nismo GT-R can only manage a 7 minute and 8.69 seconds lap and the 6.5-litre V12 Aventador SV is now the fourth quickest production car on the Nurburgring, after the Radical SR8 LM, Radical SR8 and Porsche 918 Spyder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=181&v=cp-KRcEpQEM -
Tesla Model S P85D fights Lamborghini Aventador. Who will be faster?
chitchatboy posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
Ever wonder if a 691hp Tesla can beat a 691hp Lamborghini in a drag race? One owner drag raced both of his cars so that we can have an answer... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e-jquwHKtIFrom what we could see, the Tesla put up quite a good fight even though it weighs 380kg more than Aventador. Even in drag races, the availability of instant torque with the Tesla pulling ahead for the first few seconds before the supercar catches it as the speed rises. For reference, the official century sprint for the Model S is 3.2 seconds while the Aventador's is 2.9 seconds. -
Lamborghini offers buyers incredible levels of performance combined with angular, avant-garde styling That grabs everyone's attention. Now, the Italian brand is giving its customers the chance to flaunt their supercars even more with a new Aventador Pirelli Edition. Designed to celebrate Lamborghini's relationship with Pirelli that goes back to the tires on the original 350 GTV prototype, these special-edition Aventadors keep all of the high-performance mechanicals and add a little extra to show off in two available looks. The first paints the roof, pillars, mirrors, engine cover and intakes matte black and gives the body a high-gloss finish in the buyer's choice of six colors. Alternatively, the supercars can have gloss black for those portions and paint the rest of the bodywork in a choice of four matte shades. Either the coupe or roadster can be ordered this way. Regardless finish, all of these Aventadors get a thin, red stripe over the roof, engine cover, mirrors and air intakes. The whole look is completed with red brake calipers (yellow for Rosso Mars models) and gloss-black wheels. As should be obvious, these editions wear the Pirelli tires, specifically P Zeros. The interior carries the motif inside. The seats are clad in black Alcantara and feature red stitching along with Lamborghini and Pirelli crests on them. The red stripe from the outside also covers the ceiling and seats, too. Naturally, a plaque identifies these models as part of this special-edition series. The Aventador's usual mechanical bits hide underneath the two-tone look, meaning each is powered by a 6.5-liter V12 pumping out 691 horsepower with power going to all four wheels. The Pirelli Editions are available for order now and deliveries start in the early summer of 2015.

Madness cool. Need it on Gran turismo 6... DMC has released some brand new images with the impressive LP988 Edizione GT package for the Lamborghini Aventador.After it was teased just a week ago, the Lamborghini Aventador LP988 Edizione GT, signed by DMC, is being placed into the spotlights once again, this time with the tuning company releasing more images with the supercar. The model in question has received some Veneno inspired body kit, which is made out of completely redesigned front and rear bumpers, a vented aerodynamic hood, some carbon fiber body parts, a massive rear wing and some other tweaks. DMC says that the asking price for the body kit stands at 89,990 USD. The Lamborghini Aventador LP988 Edizione GT has also received some engine upgrades which remain unknown for the moment but we do know that the 6.5 liter V12 engine found under its hood can produce, from the standard 700 HP (515 kW), a total output of 988 HP (726 kW). The asking price for this power hike stands at 134,530 USD, so if you’re looking for the entire kit, you should pay a total of 288,888 USD. There are also other improvements worth 64,368 USD, which the tuner will detail in the future, so if you want this upgrade kit, you should pay almost the price of a brand new supercar.

The current generation Lamborghini Aventador already has what it takes to catch the eyes of people from young to old. It is beautiful, aggressive, and ultimately, there's no doubt that it can tempt people to say "I want one!". However, it seems that the Italian automaker won't stop there. A new generation of the supercar, namely the Lamborghini Aventador SV, is likely well underway. With remarkably large brake calipers, lower front fascia for increased aerodynamics, and also a gurney flap for its rear spoiler, this next generation Aventador transforms into an even more aggressive monster than its elder brother already ruling the driveway of the wealthy. It is believed that this Aventador SV will carry an upgraded 6.5-litre V12 engine. That will get the driver going at 100km/h from a standstill in less than 3 seconds

Lamborghini Aventador and electric poles kiss one another in Thailand
RchLuvSlly posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
I don't know about you but, for me, it isn't that easy to imagine when the time will come for me to drive a Lamborghini Aventador, let alone owning one example of one of the world's finest supercars. However, of course, there're people luckier than me that they get to drive such a hyper-powered car within every single day. Only thing is, some of them are probably just not careful enough, like this Thai driver here. Mr. Somkiat Kruwongpaiboon, a 45-year old local businessman, told the police that one of his car tyres blew up as he was heading to his father's funeral ceremony, causing his proud supercar to spin. As a result, the unfortunate Aventador had to 'kiss' (by that, I mean crash into) a number of electric poles as well as trees with its front fascia before it finally came to a halt. Yes, you guessed it right, there's no way that the car wouldn't suffer from a heavy damage after such an incident. The Great Garuda in Hindustan myths However, it was a relief that the Thai businessman survived and only suffered from negligible injuries. According to him, the fact that he survived despite the severe damage to his Italian supercar was all thanks to the amulet he was wearing at that time. It was encrusted in diamond and in the shape of the Great Garuda (which is a God-like character from Hindustan myths). Well, it seems like there're times we need to believe in myths, too. Nevertheless, it seems that perhaps the 690bhp 6.5-litre V12 engine of the Aventador is just too much to handle. You see, that engine, along with its seven-speed single clutch transmission, can push the car from 0-100km/h in a mere 2.9 seconds. To top it off, the raging Italian bull won't stop gaining speed until it reaches at least 349km/h. Judging from the images, it seems like driving a supercar is one thing and, keeping it in one piece is a yet another. So, are you in for a ride in a supercar or would you rather play safe with the average car? -
The 2013 model year Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster was announced for production in November 2012 and barely three months later, the order books are full until mid-2014. This means a waiting time of more than a year if someone were to place an order now. He can still get his open-top supercar earlier if he is prepared to cough out extra dough. The Aventador Roadster shares the same 6.5-litre V12 engine with the hard top version. This means that roadster develops 700bhp with a tremendous 690Nm of torque, enabling the car to go from 0 to 100km/h in 3 seconds before reaching terminal velocity of 350 km/h. The Aventador Roadster boasts a unique engine cover design and an attachable wind deflector to improve cabin airflow at high speed.

In line with the upcoming Beijing Motor Show in China and Jackie Chan's 60th birthday, Lamborghini took off the wraps of its one and only Aventador Jackie Chan Edition. As part of Lamborghini’s Ad Personam program, Lamborghini came up with this special edition with the help of some unique titanium gray exterior paint scheme along with glossy black Nero Ade alloy wheels. Inside, a red and black theme surrounds the car and the word "long" (Dragon in English) is embroidered in the headrests and doors as a reference to the actor's Chinese name - Cheng Long. It is said that the car will be auctioned off and the money raised will be directed towards the China Film Institute's "Jackie Chan Charity Fund" which supports the development of China's film industry.

Spy shooting it's all about being in the right place at the right time. And this photographer just caught probably some of the shots of his life. Not only did he captured a Lamborghini Aventador cold weather testing in the frigid Arctic Circle, but also caught the test driver losing control and going sailing through an intersection and into a snowbank, documenting the crash frame-by-frame.

Anyone who loves carbon fibre will probably love the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 CARBONADO GT by MANSORY. MANSORY practically took every non carbon fibre body panel of the car and swapped it with carbon fibre. Keen to showcase the amount of carbon fibre it has, it even leaves the centre part of the car clear. One of the biggest exterior change is its new front skirt with optimised air intakes for improved ventilation of the front radiator. Its sides have also grown by 40mm at the front and 50mm at the rear. New diffuser built into the new rear spoiler stabilises the rear at high speeds and creates surface contact pressure together with the enlarged rear wing on the rear axle also. To match its extreme look, MANSORY gave it enough power to back up its look. Fitted with two MANSORY turbochargers, new pistons, connecting rods, rod bearings, crankshaft, crank and cylinder, it now puts out a humongous 1,600bhp and an electronically-limited torque of 1,200Nm. We assume the limiter was there to protect itself from killing its gearbox! This accelerates the bi-turbo V12 from 0-100km/h in a scant 2.1 seconds. The top speed is an eye-watering 370km/h. Fast enough I hope?

Ferrari FF joins the Aventador to cruise the streets of Dubai
PetrolHead posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
Just four days ago, I wrote of the Dubai Police Department adding the Chevrolet Camaro and the million dollar Lamborghini Aventador as a cop 'cruiser' car. Now another set of wheels from another Italian marque joins the Aventador, in its quest to cruise around the affluent city streets to promote the area's image as a mecca for money - The Ferrari FF. The FF is a two-door, four-wheel drive shooting brake which sits four in some of the finest leather offered by the Maranello factory. If memory serves, the FF was an attempt by Ferrari to answer customers' calls for a family cruiser that is suitable for most weather, rain or snow with comfort with adequate boot space for your ski equipment. It measures 4,907mm long, sits 1,953mm wide and stands 1,379mm tall and is powered by a 6.3-litre NA V12 - akin to the F12berlinetta - which produces 651 prancing Italian horses and 683Nm of torque good for a 335km/h top speed. -

Utilising super cars as part of the vehicle lineup by the police force around the world is not unheard of. The police force from Italy, Germany, Britain and even the Romanians possess some quick vehicles to catch traffic violators or at least display a show of deterrence on the road - besides the above picture, which is taken from NFS:Hot Pursuit. Now, a million dollar super car (in local currency) has joined the elite club through the Dubai police - the Lamborghini Aventador. The raging bull flagship has been converted into a high speed patrol car and could probably be the most expensive police car in the world. Sadly (or thankfully) the car will not be deployed to catch any law breakers but it will be present around major attractions in a bid to boost the image of Dubai. On top of the Lamborghini, a number of Chevrolet Camaro's were also added to the fleet - which are expected to be used for patrol.

It looks like the Ferrari FF is not the only supercar that is susceptible to spontaneous combustion. In what is believed to be the first fire incident involving a Lamborghini Aventador, the raging bull caught fire on California Route 73 South past El Toro Rd near Newport Beach recently. The entire episode was filmed on how the fire department had the blaze under control. The incident occurred when the driver was taking the Aventador out for a test drive. It is unclear what caused the fire but according to the initial report, the left rear wheel was engulfed in flames, which then consumed the entire car. The experts
