The Lamborghini Aventador, produced by the Italian manufacturer Lamborghini is a mid-engined sports car. The Aventador was launched at the Geneva Motor Show in February 2011 after it was first unveiled in Sant’Agata Bolognese, where it was launched under a codename and was said to replace the Murcielago and become the new flagship model.
Soon after its official launch, it was announced that 12 cars were already sold out and deliveries would start in the second half of 2011. The milestone was achieved in 5 years by which Lamborghini had built and sold 5,000 Aventador’s.

The Aventador has the fourth-in house engine from the Lamborghini engine line and is the second car to model the v12 design. The 700 PS (510 kW; 690 bhp) engine features a 6.5 liter 60-degree v12 engine, which weighs 235kg. It is the first new 6.5 liter v12 since the 3.5-liter v12 engine that was placed in the 350GT.
