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.
