If you are in Rome in late April, you can expect to hear Pope Benedict XVI gave a traditional blessing of Easter. Will will be in the parade of Italian super sports car of Mayor Gianni Alemanno for foreigners, but not surprising, unexpected, Italy. Here people are proud of their tradition of sports cars, as they are at home to the Pope. Not surprisingly, the Lamborghini Rome, the holy city, selected as a first drive of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4.
Ducking through the door lifts and a low roof with Aventador is only 44.7 inches tall, is a wedge near the headquarters of racing. It is like sitting nearly an inch from the pavement, how to reach the door closed. Steering wheel and pedals are perfectly positioned, with no hassle Murcielago, the balance on the right side to make room for a monstrous balance the left front tire. The rest of the interior is a radical break with the tradition of Lamborghini, the combination of a fighter cockpit, fantasy and video games. The instrument panel is a thin-film transistor (TFT) display information and offers the option of either the speedometer or tachometer as the main knob packed. Will have a limited view from the side and back complaints, this is a Lamborghini, not VW Golf.
Protected by the red to cover the anticipated start button. With satanic roar of 6.5-liter V-12 holiday for us, apparently with the first crank starter. In all such Aventador is the new V-12 engine is extremely responsive, with only the slightest tap the throttle, the speed increase or decrease the speed of F1. Turn it off and suddenness of the silence is misleading. Even if the amendment is the same, this is not the Murciélago engine. In fact, the hole Lamborghini grew by seven millimeters, while the shorter stroke 12.6, the engine speed even higher than the 8500 rpm redline with the Murci may allow the mill. (Read our detailed look at the engine Aventador here.) Maximum power 691 hp with 509 Nm of torque at 5500 8250/min increases by 59 hp and 22 Nm V-12 Murciélago Smooth, but with plenty of bark, easier, and the bottom mounted aluminum frame with monocoque carbon fiber.
Interestingly, the new Lambo engine is injected into the draw. The Italian apology is that already 20 percent more efficient than their predecessors, although we expect the EPA assessment of 10 mpg in the city and 14 on the highway, just 1 mpg better than the Murcielago in the city and thus for long-distance. Of course, calling all 691 hp will push that number well into single digits
