Our Spies Capture a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster Prototype


It's no secret that the next step for Lamborghini is the presentation of a roadster version of its new Aventador LP700-4 supercar and our scoop photographers have just landed the first shots of a camouflaged prototype testing in northern Sweden.

The said test car was fitted with fake roof parts to conceal the fact that it is the roadster model, but a close look at the pictures reveals that there's something different about the top of this Aventador.

Our spies tell us that the removable top looked like it was made out of carbon fiber instead of the cloth top found on the Murcielago Roadster.

The Roadster version of the Aventador LP700-4 is expected to be slightly heavier than the coupe iteration due to the necessary strengthening of the chassis to compensate for the loss of the roof.

A Whole Lotta Supercars Crammed Together in a Swiss Showroom


Belinda Carlisle was right: Heaven is a place on earth. And we think we’ve just found it. The automotive heaven is located in Switzerland, in a showroom full of so many supercars that we lost track of the number.

The place is packed with both modern and classic exotics. Lamborghini fans would be most delighted as there are quite a few Aventadors, many versions of the Gallardo, Murcielago and Diablo from standard models to racing cars, as well as three rare Miuras and an LM002 SUV.

Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Laps the Hockenheim Circuit, Reaches 370km/h [230mph]


There's something about exotic supercars like the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 that gets our motors roaring. We never get tired of watching them no matter how many times we have seen them before.

We're not even going to count how many posts we've written on the 12-cylinder Raging Bull model - though if you're curious, feel free to check them all out here.

If you feel the same way, then you'll probably enjoy the video that follows and which comes to us courtesy of German car magazine Sport Auto. The publication took Lamborghini's flagship model over to the Hockenheim circuit in Germany to see how fast it is.

According to Lamborghini, the Aventador LP 700-4 comes equipped with a 6.5-liter V12 engine delivering 700HP and 509 lb-ft of torque for a 0-100 km/h (62mph) sprint time of 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 350km/h (218mph).

Close Call: Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Driver Almost Bumps Into an Audi Avant


There are many good reasons why exotic supercar bloopers capture our attention. For one, these vehicles are extremely rare and cost a fortune to fix even for the smallest of damages.

Another, less noble reason, could be that some of these gaffes make you feel better knowing that, even if you will never ever be able to afford such a ride, at least you won't make a fool out of yourself on film by trying to find the reverse gear, are unable to park or by being so careless or caught up with yourself that you didn't notice the Audi that was behind you…

Congrats; It's a Brand New Yellow Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 [Videos]


While most of us are pretty - or at least we pretend to be- content with any decent sports car that we can afford to park in our garage no matter how old or bad condition it's in, there are only a select few out there who can lay claim to welcoming a supercar like the new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 to their family.

Enter the posh world of Youtube user "DoctaM3", whom you may remember from the videos he posted of the latest Batmobile during filming of the Dark Knight Rises in Pittsburgh earlier this summer.

DoctaM3 recently took delivery of his spanking new Raging Bull model and shared the experience on film for all of us to see. Did we tell you that he uses BMW M models (including an M6 Cabrio) for his daily drivers?

Video Footage from the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Crash in Italy


It's a real pain in the you-know-what if you crash someone else's car let alone if you're a freelance writer that just ditched a $530k Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 that had been given to you for a test drive.

And that's exactly what happened to Thomas Glavinic, a writer that was helping out Austrian car magazine Autorevue with their annual supercar test.

We’ve already covered the incident extensively in previous posts, but today, Carscoop reader Raphael from Vienna pointed us to a new video from Autorevue that includes the scene of the Aventador crash that took place in Italy in late August.

Batman's New Wheels: Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Captured During Filming


Despite what you might think, it's actually quite difficult to snag pictures or videos during filming of a big blockbuster like the next Batman flick called the "Dark Knight Rises", as studios hire people simply to obstruct the view of anyone trying to capture the moment on camera.

Nevertheless, VW Vortex member VadGTi overcame these problems and was able to take a few good shots of Bruce Wayne's new rich-boy toy, the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4, which replaces the Murcielago seen in the previous installments of the Dark Knight franchise.

Tuned Nissan GT-R Embarrasses Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 on the Drag Strip


As they say, more equals less, or to put it into context, the more horsepower a car has, the less time it will need to cover a defined distance.

And while the new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 with its 6.5-liter V12 engine pushing out a hefty 700-horses for a factory 0 to 100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 2.9 seconds is by no means a slouch, 700HP is significantly less than around 1000HP.

That was the case with the R35 that went up against the white Aventador in the drag strip race you're about to watch after the break. According to the YouTube poster, this wasn't your run-of-the-mill Nissan GT-R but a heavily tuned R35 packing close to 1,000-horses under its hood.

Meet the Journalist who Crashed the €387,000 Lamborghini Aventador


Unless you are from Austria or Germany, there's a good chance you may not have heard of Thomas Glavinic before; he is a writer that also happens to collaborate with Autorevue, an Austrian car magazine.

But that's about the change because Mr. Glavinic had the unfortunate fate of being the first person to go on record for crashing Lamborghini's astonishing Aventador LP 700-4.

Carscoop regulars will undoubtedly remember our report on the incident a few weeks ago, though at the time we didn’t have many details on the crash other than it occurred in Italy on August 30.

Today, however, the crew over at Autoreview decided it was time to confess their doings and reveal that the man behind the steering wheel was one of their own, Thomas Glavinic.

Video: Lamborghini Aventador vs Gallardo Spyder vs Ferrari 360 Modena


If it where any other type of cars, we'd probably skip this vide altogether, but it’s not every day that you see a spanking new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 getting ready to eat sprint race a Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder and Coupe, a Ferrari 360 Modena Spider and the tail of the bunch, a BMW M3 Coupe E46.

Of course there's a matter of who's driving the Italian supercars and what condition they're in, but it looks like the Aventador and the LP 560-4 Spyder pretty much smoked the rest.

Click past the break to watch the short clip for yourself.

Miniature Lamborghini Aventador to Sell for at Least $4.2 Million or More Than 12 Times the Price of the Real Car!


Just when you think you have heard it all, something like this comes along and leaves you speechless. Former Mercedes-Benz engineer and German model maker Robert Gulpen used the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show to reveal an amazing miniature replica of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4.

Leaving aside the tiresome work that went into building the 1:8 scale model, what makes this creation stand out from the crowd is its ridonkulous price tag of at least €3.5 million or about US$4.83 million at the current exchange rates.
