The most emblematic of the sports cars produced by Lamborghini was the Aventador, whose production has already ended, after 11 years. The latest example, a blue painted LP 780-4 Roadster, was destined for Switzerland and was simultaneously the Unit 11,465 to leave the factory of the brand in Sant’Agata Bolognese.
The first Aventador was introduced in 2011 and the Roadster version appeared two years later. The model exported to Swiss customer extracts 780 hp from the noble naturally aspirated 6.5 V12 enginepower passing to the ground through a system of all wheel drive. Despite displaying a total length of 4.87 m and a weight of 1765 kg, with the plenum box and the driver on board, which is little for a model of this caliber and with this type of mechanics, none of this prevents it from crossing the 100 km/h in just 2.9 secondsand then continue accelerating up to 355 km/h.
The production of the last Aventador was duly celebrated by the Italian manufacturer, all the more so as Lamborghini already has its successor in an advanced stage of development, which may (or may not) keep this breed of bull, as is customary in the transalpine brand. the successor will keep atmospheric V12to continue enjoying the characteristic hoarse singing of the 12-cylinder V, but it will be a new unit, more modern to be more efficient and easier to electrifythe only way to reduce consumption and emissions.
The chassis of the successor to the Aventador will continue to be constructed of carbon fiber, to make it stiff and light. It remains to wait for 2023, when the new model will be presented to the public, with a hybrid V12. But the question remains: will it be a conventional hybrid, to reduce the announced consumption by two or three liters, or will it go further and propose a plug-in hybrid generation?, with a battery capable of powering more powerful electric motors, which combined with the V12 would considerably increase the total power of the model. With the additional advantage of gaining the possibility of traveling a certain distance in exclusively electric mode, which is already offered by the competitor Ferrari and, apparently, pleases potential customers.
