The Reventon has been developed based on the speed and dynamism philosophy, and it has been inspired from a field where speed and dynamics are absolute leaders: aeronautic technology, which is currently accountable for the most radical and fastest of jet fighters. The new design idea that uses interrupted lines and surfaces filled with angles and contortions, create an extreme effect and unbeatable performance at high speeds.
Even though it's in line with the respected Murcielago LP 640, the bodywork from the Reventon is totally redesigned. The outside is manufactured having a special carbon fibre material that molds perfectly within the chassis from the car. All the exterior components have been glued together and glued towards the body made from steel and CFC (carbon fiber composite).
The Aventador supercar is going to be the most powerful and fastest car ever produced by Lamborghini. Special attention has been paid to the weight of the car, as the more a car weighs the slower it's going to be and there for a greater need for a bigger engine. The Aventador is said to weigh 500 pounds less than the Murcielago, making it one of the lightest supercars that will be available in the marketplace in 2011. The car's design has been tested in the wind-tunnel to reduce drag as much as possible which will assist in the car achieving top speed. The design of the car is said to be based on the Reventon supercar, which was produced in very limited numbers and cost a whopping $1.25 million and is to date the most expensive Lamborghini.
The Aventador will also use the same engine as the Reventon which is a 6.5 liter V12 but will be producing more horsepower than the Reventon. The engine will use direct injection to produce 750 horsepower and do the 0 to 60 miles per hour run in a mind boggling 2.9 seconds. The engine is mated to a 7-speed transmission which is shifted through Formula One style paddle shifters on the steering wheel, sending power to all four wheels.
