Lamborghini Wins Award at Monterey Classic Car Week
Yesterday in Monterey, California, Automobili Lamborghini received the Five Diamond Engineering Award at Concorso Italiano. Given for the engineering achievements of the new Aventador LP 700-4, the award was accepted by Maurizio Reggiani, board member and Director of Research and Development. The award highlights a weekend of activity surrounding the US launch of the Aventador including appearances at McCall’s Motoworks Revival, The Quail and the Pebble Beach Concours dElegance.
The technology package of the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 is utterly unique. It is based on an innovative monocoque made from carbon-fibre that combines exceptional lightweight engineering with the highest levels of stiffness and safety. The new twelve-cylinder with 6.5 litres’ displacement and 515 kW / 700 hp brings together the ultimate in high-revving pleasure with astonishing low-end torque. Thanks to a dry weight of only 1,575 kilograms (3,472 lb), which is extremely low for this class of vehicle, the weight-to-power ratio stands at only 2.25 kilograms per hp (4.96 lb/hp). Even the fantastic 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration figure of just 2.9 seconds and the top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph) do not fully describe the Aventador’s extreme performance. And yet, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are down by around 20 percent compared with its predecessor, despite the considerable increase in power (+8%).
