Throughout Lamborghini’s 60-year history, just six automobiles have held the mid-engine flagship title for the marque. From the Muira to the new Revuelto, all have exhibited industry-shaking silhouettes and monumental V-12 power. Consequently, the automotive world stands at attention the moment a new model is unleashed.
When the Aventador LP700-4 launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 2011, it flipped the script on the kind of performance that could be extracted out of the big bulls from Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy. In the past, top speed and acceleration figures reigned as the main engineering focus of previous Lamborghini supercars. However, the Aventador was uniquely designed from the ground up to sling around corners just as quickly as it could rip through a quarter mile. The core of the vehicle features a carbon fiber monocoque, which aids in greatly reducing weight while drastically increasing stiffness and as a result, the car tips the scale with 506 fewer pounds than its predecessor, the Murcielago. All four corners additionally feature rocker arm-actuated pushrod suspension for greater control and an improved center of gravity. Carbon ceramic Brembo brakes, in conjunction with sticky Pirelli PZero rubber, further aid in reducing speed at an organ-scrambling rate.
Beyond the immense leap forward in vehicle dynamics, the Aventador still retains the heart and soul of any proper Lamborghini: A screaming V-12 engine. This 6.5-liter, 48-valve monster provides 691 horsepower to all four wheels through a single-clutch automated manual transmission, allowing for a 217-mph top speed.
The vehicle on offer is a 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Coupe finished in Grigio Estoque Metallic paint—a shade that gives the angular machine the feel of an advanced stealth fighter—over a Nero Ade Leather interior with Iperione wheels in Shiny Black. Originally delivered to the United States, the car entered the Dare to Dream Collection in 2014, where it has remained since. Just 5,548 miles show on the odometer at the time of cataloguing, with this limited use contributing to the car’s excellent overall presentation total today. It is accompanied by its owner’s manual and original warranty/service booklet in pouch, as well as tools and tire inflator kit.
With dramatic stealth fighter styling and a thunderous V-12 engine, the Aventador stands as a worthy successor to its forebearers. Lamborghini’s efforts and technical prowess resulted in the most user-friendly V-12 supercar ever to leave their factory gates up until that point, while simultaneously pushing the performance capabilities to new heights. This low-mileage, US-delivery example, with an attractive color scheme, is certainly one not to pass on.
