2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

The Lamborghini family tree is a fruitful one, its branches are adorned with names like Miura, Countach and Diablo. Iconic cars that are hung proudly on the walls of their respective generations' bedrooms, so Lamborghini had big boots to fill with their next flagship model.

The Aventador, whose namesake is a Spanish fighting bull, was released to the public in early 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. So impressive was its unveiling that Lamborghini announced it had already agreed sales just after the formal unveiling. The Aventador throughout production would form the basis for many special projects, most notably it formed the basis for the modern Countach interpretation and the Veneno.

This example is an early LP700-4, supplied in March of 2012 by Lamborghini London. It features a unique and tasteful specification, externally the car is finished in Grigio Estoque. The paintwork is in excellent condition, the subtle classy colour choice does not distract from the dramatic styling.

The grey bodywork is accented by a dual-colour black and red central stripe that covers the car front to rear. The stripe is somewhat reminiscent of the iconic Balboni stripe fitted to the limited edition Gallardo models, but applied in a more subtle way. The theme extends to the wing mirrors too.

The wheels are finished in gloss-black to match the accenting stripe, they’re wrapped in a matching set of Pirelli tyres. Tucked behind the wheels are Carbon Ceramic brakes, with bright contrasting yellow callipers.

The choice specification continues inside, finished in Terra Semele. It’s an earthy tan that is rich and warm. The colour extends across the seats, which are of course heated and electrically adjusted, to the dash and door cards with contrasting black leather added in. Carbon fibre trims finish the interior, with Lamborghini’s logo embossed into the headrests as the finishing touch. It’s an incredibly special place to be.

The engine is a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 mated to a 7-speed flappy paddle gearbox. The package produces over 690 bhp and the 508 lb-ft of torque, which propels the Aventador from 0-60 in under 3-seconds. Despite the immense power, the Aventador is often praised for its ability to actually be used. Unlike some of its predecessors the Aventador is a supercar you can truly live with, no doubt thanks to the influence Audi had on production. The car also benefits from having been fitted with a Larini Club sport exhaust, at a cost of over £5,000.

Despite the Audi influence, the Aventador is still a Lamborghini and that requires the correct care and maintenance to ensure long term reliability. Thankfully, this example is well covered with the service records showing:

The Aventador does everything a great Lamborghini should do, but better. It’s an assault on the senses, exotic materials, flame throwing exhausts and intense speed.
