Lamborghini Aventador reports for taxi duty at Bologna airport

lamborghini aventador bologna airport Lamborghini Aventador reports for taxi duty at Bologna airport

Lamborghini has invaded another airport as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations. In January, it took over one of the two runways at Miami-Dade International Airport so it could conduct high-speed runs and have an Aventador pose with a Boeing airliner. Across the Atlantic, the Aventador has just been made the “Follow Me” vehicle at the Aeroporto di Bologna, which is 30 minutes from the company factory in Sant’ Agata Bolognese.

According to Auto Evolution, it’s been done up just like the Fiat models one normally encounters on such duty – it even has a light bar in case pilots don’t simply want to follow the noise. Specially trained airport staff will guide arriving flights to their gates in the Aventador from May 6 to May 19, and once passengers are deplaned, they can check out the Lamborghini exhibit inside the airport.

2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP720-4 50 Anniversario is indeed worth celebrating

Automobili Lamborghini celebrates 50 years of legends with the exclusive Aventador LP 720-4 50° Anniversario.

Shanghai/Sant’Agata Bolognese, 19.04.2013 — In celebration of its 50th birthday and against the backdrop of the Shanghai Auto Show, Automobili Lamborghini is presenting a very special super sports car with exclusive equipment and technology. The Lamborghini Aventador LP 720-4 50° Anniversario is a limited and numbered series of 100 units worldwide. Each unit has a Forged Composite® badge with the 50° logo and a serial number.

With its output increased to 720 hp, its new performance-oriented front and rear design, the special paintwork and unique interior trim, this Aventador is one of the most exclusive models ever produced in the history of Lamborghini.

The Aventador LP 720-4 50° Anniversario represents a new highlight of this globally successful model range with carbon-fiber monocoque, twelve-cylinder engine and permanent all-wheel drive. With its output of 720 hp, the 6.5-liter twelve-cylinder in the Aventador LP 720-4 50° Anniversario is 20 hp more powerful than the current V12 in the Aventador LP 700-4. This is due to a new specific engine calibration. With its extremely fast-shifting ISR transmission, the anniversary model accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 350 km/h.

The front and rear fascias of the 50° Anniversario model have been redesigned and the aerodynamics further optimized. The front air intakes and the aerodynamic splitter have been enlarged and extended, and small flaps set into the sides. The rear end is completely new and features an enlarged diffuser and expansive meshwork that further improves engine-compartment ventilation. Overall, handling stability at extreme speeds has been optimized without impacting drag characteristics due to an increase of more than 50% in the aerodynamic efficiency compared to the Aventador LP 700-4.

The newly developed paintwork on the 50° Anniversario edition, Giallo Maggio (May yellow) is a tribute to the most preferred color chosen by Lamborghini costumers since the Miura and references the founding of Automobili Lamborghini in May 1963. The exclusive Giallo Maggio is an all-new color with a particularly intense glitter effect and will only be available on this edition. The structure of this paintwork in sparkling yellow includes a layer of transparent and highly reflective particles, that make the Aventador truly glisten, especially in the sun. The front and rear, as well as the sills, have a two-tone design in Giallo Maggio and matte black that emphasize the Aventador’s streamlined shape. Matching perfectly are the wheels painted in high-gloss black. Naturally, the Aventador LP 720-4 50° Anniversario can also be ordered in every imaginable color through the Ad Personam individualization program.

The interior of the Aventador LP 720-4 50° Anniversario is upholstered in an extremely fine, natural, semi-aniline leather. This leather, specifically developed for the Aventador 50° Anniversario, is worked through a particular tanning and coloring process that accentuates the full grain, natural look and smoothness of the leather. The colors offered are inspired by Lamborghini’s home in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna. Thus, Nero Ade (black) is combined with Terra Emilia, a shade of brown evoking the earth of the region, a color that evaluates the exclusive positioning of this model. An alternative color is Giallo Quercus, a yellow color matching the exterior and stressing the vehicle’s sporty nature, is named for the yellow oak tree in the Sant’Agata Bolognese coat of arms. Featured in both versions is the exclusive Q-Citura stitch, a diamond pattern introduced especially for this celebratory model that highlights the Italian craftsmanship found in the interior of the Aventador 50° Anniversario.

At the Shanghai Motor Show 2013 Lamborghini is also presenting the Gallardo LP 560-2 50° Anniversario. It is painted in Bianco Opalis, a shimmering white, and boasts exclusive features like the carbon-fiber rear wing from the Gallardo Superleggera and the transparent engine cover. Furthermore appearing in Shanghai are an Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster in Bianco Isis and a Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder in Grigio Telesto.

All Lamborghini models built in the 2013 anniversary year feature the 50th anniversary emblem in the cockpit. Like every Lamborghini, it is made using a combination of hi-tech and artisanal craftsmanship — the emblem is produced in Forged Composite, a carbon-fiber material patented by Lamborghini. The glazed ”50th” logo is then applied by hand by experienced specialists.

2014 Lamborghini Cabrera

cr d457b1bd8430b55e61fadd536b80c322 2014 Lamborghini CabreraThe Lamborghini Cabrera is scheduled for release in 2014 as the replacement vehicle for the top performing Gallardo.  The newest supercar will feature the same Gallardo V10 engine, 5.2 liter capacity, 6 speed manual transmission, rear wheel or all wheel drive(four wheel drive is also under consideration) and will likely be labeled the LP600-2 and LP600-4 respectively.  A supercharger will be adjoined to generate over 550 – 600 horsepower.  It is anticipated that the Cabrera will meet 60 mph in 3.41 seconds along with a top end speed of 202 mph. The carbon fiber structure (monocoque) will provide for significantly lower weight and some enhanced fuel economies and overall speed enhancements.  The carbon fiber weight savings is approximately 65 pounds overall. 

Lamborghini has been very open in promoting the Cabrera to keep consumer interest ongoing.  The Cabrera will offer a stylish and smashing unique exterior design which will wow car enthusiasts worldwide.  It is believed that Lamborghini will bench mark many of it styling efforts off the Sesto Elemento.

Michael Lock, COO of Lamborghini America has conveyed that the Gallardo lineage (specifications, versions, etc.) will not carry over to the new Cabrera.  The top running Gallardo will certainly be missed but it has had a great run and will now make room in the model lineup for the new Cabrera. 

There is a possibility that the new supercar could actually be named "Huracán" which has been registered by Automobili Lamborghini SpA.  Others at Lamborghini seem comfortable with the Cabrera name as it is famous for a Spanish fighting bull.  Regardless of its final naming designation the new model will continue Lamborghini's trend of more powerful engines and sharp exterior features.

It is likely that shortly after the initial closed coupé version a new Spyder edition will come be available since Lamborghini will only offer one dedicated Spyder model.  Other potential editions include the Superleggera and Performante.

 

Cabrera Competiton:  Ferrari 458 Italia

 

New Potential Vehicle Variants: Spyder, Superleggera, Performante

Lamborghini 2015 Urus SUV Review

cr ee61c8c287320873c7b6617432bd7c7e Lamborghini 2015 Urus SUV Review

The Cadillac Escalade Platinum has been a fixture for pro-athletes, rappers, movie stars, rock stars and the new Lamborghini Urus could very well be a suitable alternative for this genre.  Further customization of the Urus will put it in a unique market niche for the very wealthy.  Lamborghini‘s superstar SUV will be an aggressive car with a angular stance and a superior interior.  The Urus will be quite costly and someone looking for a similar vehicle in the same market niche might find the BMW X5, X6, Range Rover or the Mercedes M-Class easier on the wallet.  The Urus is going to be an expensive vehicle for the very, very wealthy which will be built in China.  China is known for minting more millionaires than any other country in the world in case you didn't know.

The Urus was originally unveiled at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show.  It is believed that the Lamborghini Urus will compete with the Porsche Cayenne on a similar level.  Target markets include the Russia, the US, the UK, Germany, the Middle East and China.  The Urus will compete well in its market niche by offering a lighter curb weight.  Both the Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q7 will be alternative vehicles of choice for the smart consumer.  The Urus will be known for its power underneath the hood with the size of an SUV.

Some feel the Urus looks similar to the Ford Focus or Range Rover Evoque side-on, BMW X6 from the rear.  Some have even suggested if it comes in black it could resemble the Bat Mobile.  Lamborghini vows the Urus will be the lightest and best-handling vehicle in the segment.

Lamborghini represents the place where passion overwhelms business sense and has lost money for decades and is only somewhat profitable today.  Lamborghini's vintage, heritage and image are still held as the pinnacle of sports cars.  This keeps the capital investment moneys flowing for a vehicle such as the Urus.  The biggest hurdle facing Lamborghini is to differentiate the Urus from Audi and Porsche if it must use the same basic materials.  Lamborghini has always offered too much opulence and car for most of its drivers.  The Lamborghini Urus has a great opportunity for success if it doesn't break the bank.

Design Intent Urus Features:

  • The Lamborghini Urus SUV will offer an output of approximately 600hp.
  • The dash is slated to be carbon-fiber with a mesh of touchscreen controls.  It will also feature a bright red gear shifter
  • The seats appear sectional and unique
  • The Urus will have 4 seats like Range Rover’s Evoque
  • The rear headroom is going to be low based on the vehicle profile
  • Beneath its hood will be a 5.2-liter V10 engine and approximate 584 hp
  • The Urus has a 600-hp power target and 3,000/vehicles per year @ $200,000 each
  • The Urus and the Bentley EXP 9F are similar in design.
  • Stealth-fighter "like" intakes
  • Geometric wheel openings
  • A tall hatchback shape
  • The tail-lights which appear very similar to the Estoque

It is widely suggested that sister brand Bentley and Italian rival Maserati will likely enter the SUV niche market.  Despite this scenario Lamborghini expects its SUV to become the top-selling model because of strong demand in China, the United States, Europe, Russia and the Middle East.  Porsche's success is envied which now relies on its Cayenne SUV for more than 50% of its total world sales.  As automakers introduce new models in China sales have been soaring and thus the Urus has a real good chance.  Up to ½ of the 3000 vehicles/annum may be targeted for the United States market. Lamborghini is looking for the approval of its corporate parent Audi to put the Urus on sale in late 2015.  If Lamborghini can sell the Turbo V8 vs a V10 it could avoid the 2015 regulations in Europe and elsewhere that makes engines of multiple cylinders challenging to sell through the fuel economy regulations.  The 600 hp seems to be the minimum size Lamborghini would implement.  Lamborghini is hoping to reach 5,000 units a year. In 2011 Lamborghini had total global sales of 1,600 units amongst its current models (Gallardo and Aventador coupes and roadsters)

Lamborghini: The Aventador J Built in 6 Weeks – World Record?

Lamborghini Aventador J Geneva2 Lamborghini: The Aventador J Built in 6 Weeks – World Record?

Yes, we still can’t get enough about the Lamborghini Aventador J Roadster which got its official introductory at 2012 Geneva Motor Show. So, we dig up everything we can get about the roofless Italian supercar and how in the world Lamborghini managed to create this one of the exclusive rides in the world. Just to remind you that Aventador J Roadster is already sold out for €2.1 million to anonymous buyer and yes, we are so jealous of him to be able to own this supercar.

According to autoevolution.com, the Lamborghini Aventador J Roadster was built only six weeks. It is kind of impossible because we all know that the assembly line is all done by hand including the seat ‘s cover which made from thin carbon fiber material. But then again, this Italian Raging Bull company only made 1 unit, right? It means that they can easily shift the production staff to put the Aventador J Roadster as number one priority and to hold up the assembly for other Lamborghini supercars.

The Lamborghini Aventador J Roadster is constructed from custom-built body which entirely made from carbon fiber. According to autoevolution.com, the designer of Lamborghini Aventador J Roadster – Fillipo Perini stated that the sketch for this supercar was granted around mid-January and Lamborghini CEO – Stephan Winkelmann was the one who tested the concept form at full speed. Well, who else knows about Lamborghini better than the CEO right?

Rumor: Lamborghini is Developing the Cabrera

Lamborghini Cabrera Rumor: Lamborghini is Developing the Cabrera

How can you satisfy the millionaire’s and billionaire’s lust of speed? Well, the short answer will be “no we can’t” and that is why supercar and hypercar makers are continuing to develop the ultimate ride where you don’t have any fear that you can’t pay for the gas bill. Well, as soon as the Aventador J has sold, we are scooping about the new arrival of the Italian Raging Bull company in the form of Lamborghini Cabrera. So, why all of a sudden Lamborghini is going to develop new car and what does this new car have to offer us?

We know that the upcoming Lamborghini will be “cheaper” and easier to get although it is still in limited edition. Now… we are not referring to the SUV, but the replacement for the Gallardo. According to autoevolution.com, the replacement for Gallardo will be referred as Cabrera – for this moment, we suppose. Lamborghini CEO – Stephen Winkelmann stated that Cabrera supercar will carry “a clear cut” from the Gallardo by offering new design and it will be more revolutionary than evolutionary. Sounds like BMW, eh?

Not much changes will be carried by Lamborghini Cabrera as it could be powered by the old V10 engine from the Gallardo, in two-seater and probably sends the 600 horsepower to the AWD system through a dual-clutch automatic transmission. Rumor has it that the Cabrera supercar won’t be constructed from as many carbon fiber as the Gallardo did with the platform will be borrowed from VW Group. Lamborghini targets the Cabrera to share 15 to 20% more parts with Audi or Porsche than the current supercar.
