The Lamborghini Aventador has the latest in Independent Shift Rods transmission, claimed to be faster and 'more emotional' than a dual-clutch system. Indeed, the seven-speed, semi-automatic gearbox achieves gear changes significantly faster than a dual clutch, in 50 milliseconds. From there, power is distributed throughout via an electronically-controlled Haldex coupling, distributing forces to both front and rear.
Formula One inspired, its lightweight chassis with pushrod suspension completes the picture. A perfect balance is achieved through aluminium double wishbones coupled with carbon-fibre ceramic brakes. Lightweight yet fierce, this Lamborghini hire gives maximum dynamism. This is accomplished thanks to three driving modes of 'Strada' (road), Sport and 'Corsa' (track). These harmonise the engine, transmission, differential, steering and dynamic control in perfect synchronicity.
Everything about this car is a step ahead, according to Stephen Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. He calls the Aventador, "a jump of two generations in terms of design and technology ... the result of an entirely new project, but at the same time a direct and consistent continuation of Lamborghini's brand values. It is extreme in its design and its performance, uncompromising in its standards and technology, and unmistakably Italian in its style and perfection. Overall, the dynamics and technical excellence of the Aventador LP 700-4 makes it unrivalled in the worldwide super sports car arena."
The highest power to weight ratio of any supercar of this class is achieved with an engine block weighing just 235 kilograms, and an overall weight of just 1575 kilograms. This 6.5 litre 12-cyclinder lean machine produces a blistering 512 kw, reaching 62 mph in just 2.9 seconds. This sports car hire is indeed the bull with 700 horse power. On its television test debut, it achieved the second fastest time ever around the Top Gear track. However, despite the 8% increase in power over its forefathers, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced by around 20 percent.
Utopia is reached in the design cues of the Lamborghini Aventador. Whilst the Aventador represents an evolution of its predecessor, the Murcielago, it also contains hues of the limited-edition Reventon, as well as the Sesto Elemento and Estoque concepts.
The investment required to own an Aventador is over £200,000. Even if this is within your reach, all cars in the production run of the first eighteen months sold out within the first month post-launch. Production will be limited to 4000 as the moulds used to make the carbon fibre monocoque are designed to deliver 500 units each and only 8 have been made. The only way therefore to have one within your reach in the British Isles is through rent car UK.
