All great things come to an end; then we start craving more than ever of it! And it's time for the iconic Lamborghini Aventador to bow out, as confirmed by the bosses at the Italian brand. The legendary Lamborghini Aventador debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 2011 and sold over 10,000 units.
It outsold the manufacturer's other V12-powered product lines, including the likes of the mental Diablo, the futuristic Countach, the trend-setting Miura, and the godly Murcielago. The Aventador has done a fantastic job carrying Lamborghini's long heritage of creating dramatic-looking sports cars.
Lamborghini's design has historically emphasized angles over curves, and the Aventador's style may be compared to origami rather than organic shapes. This is a Lamborghini that will be greatly missed!
Let's have a closer look at one of the most iconic cars of all time. Here's why the Lamborghini Aventador will always be cherished as a modern-day automotive icon.
Lamborghini Aventador: The End Of Pure V12 Drama
What made the Lamborghini Aventador so special? The first is its thunderous V12, which would fill any automobile fanatic with joy, and the second is its razor-sharp, aggressive demeanor, created with a circuit in mind. Additionally, it is the meeting point of modern high fashion and classic rock 'n' roll in the motor industry.
During a roundtable discussion with the European press, CEO Stephan Winkelmann said that the company intends to resume assembly mainly to substitute the 15 Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae cars lost at sea. Winkelmann said there wouldn't be any loss for the customers in the U.S. due to the sunken ship. "We put our heads together, and fortunately, we will likely substitute those cars. Moreover, the remainder can all be replaced. Though the Aventador was challenging, we succeeded."
The Audi DNA In Lamborghini Aventador's Design
Although Lamborghini has been a member of Audi AG for several years, the German automaker has happily never appeared to try to sway the company's blueprint. Italy has unique expertise when it comes to producing nearly everything. However, there is unquestionably an Audi DNA in the engineering, and few customers would object. The all-wheel-drive system knowledge Audi possesses has been beneficial to Lamborghini.
The Lamborghini Aventador was a pivotal model for the Italian manufacturer of supercars. It has the company's first entirely new V12 engine design since its establishment in 1963. With the University of Washington's assistance, its carbon-fiber tub was created. In other words, it made a major impression when it debuted in 2011, and now, 11 years later, Lamborghini revealed on Wednesday that it is getting its final edition.
Not all the attention is on the four-wheel setup. To improve the handling of the hypercar, Lamborghini incorporated a pushrod shock absorber and soft magnetic front and rear shock absorbers. Together, the two systems strive to eliminate roll and harmful vehicle body movement. Additionally, they respond impressively to any dynamic situation.
The Lamborghini Aventador Is A Benchmark For Sports Cars
The famous scissor doors from the Aventador are used to welcome the driver inside the Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae, the last variant of the revolutionary Aventador. You'll see the plush leather covering the roomy bucket seats when you get inside. The Ultimae has a smaller trunk than most hypercars, but Lamborghini solved this problem by letting the driver modify the interior.
The Aventador Ultimae has an all-wheel drive system with 769 horsepower. It is intended to have both the harsh Aventador SVJ's performance and the Aventador S's exterior styling. To drive the V12 engine, Lamborghini fitted a seven-speed automatic gearbox with shifting rods. The fact that it is smaller than a typical gearbox is even more astonishing, and Lamborghini does this by minimizing weight.
The Ultimae only weighs 3,417 pounds and has a 2.8-second sprint time of 62 mph. Despite opting for all-wheel drive, the handling should be superb due to four-wheel handling and a flexible power steering system. As expected, its brakes are large and made of carbon ceramic. Unfortunately, the single-clutch, seven-speed gearbox from the Aventador is once again in the car.
The cockpit in front is more futuristic than most private jets'. Nevertheless, one's outer view is slightly limited because of the low seating. This is caused by the car's streamlined bodywork, which has excellent aerodynamic properties. Despite having nice seats, the automobile can be unbearable on prolonged journeys. A high-definition 8-inch screen for entertainment is located in the center console.
The system has Apple CarPlay functionality and is voice-controlled. Additionally, Lamborghini offers an enhanced audio system with dashboard tweeters and door-mounted subwoofers. The manufacturer also included a performance transponder that records lap times and other track information since they anticipated that racing fanatics would take the car to the track.
Aventador Ultimae Is The Most Desirable Lambo Right Now
After the company stopped taking new orders, the Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae sold out, ending the Italian V12 bull's decade-long reign. The highly sought-after Aventador Ultimae is undoubtedly one of a dying breed as exotic sports carmakers strive tirelessly to electrify their vehicles.
The base Aventador is not too drastically different from the Ultimae, and there are few outward design changes. Still, it's fantastic to see Lamborghini leave the world of supercharged V-12s with a statement. Of course, there will be a replacement, and, likely, it will at least be a hybrid, but in the interim, the Ultimae covers the vacuum perfectly.
