Second Teaser Image for the DMC Aventador Limited Edition 
Last week, DMC unveiled the first teaser image for an upcoming package it is preparing for the Lamborghini Aventador. Another week, another teaser image, as DMC has posted an extreme close-up of the front fascia, which shows elements of Lamborghini’s "J" Roadster that was on display at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year. The new DMC Aventador Limited Edition will be based on the LP700/LP900 package and judging by all this teasing, we presume it will be something special. We don’t know what this new package will bring, but taking a look at DMC’s previous tuning packages for the Aventador, we can only imagine. The previous Molto Veloce was offered in two engine versions – 700 and 900 horsepower – so, is it too crazy for us to think this package may sneak nearer to the 1,000-horsepower mark? Official debut will be made on December 12, 2012, so stay tuned for the official details. 2012 Lamborghini Aventador Eternal by SR Auto Group
Back in May, SR Auto Group unveiled the Project Supremacy, which was based on the new Lamborghini Aventador. Now, the Italian supercar is back in the tuner’s shop, but this time it adopts an even meaner look. The project starts with the addition of PUR 4OUR Monoblock wheels sized 19 inches up front and 20 inches on the rear. The wheels are coated in Modern Black paint and the Aventador’s sexy exterior is coated in Nero Nemesis paint – a stunning matte black. The Aventador has one of the widest rear ends you’ll ever see, helping exaggerate the concave profile that the rear wheels have. Precise offsets give Project Eternal a flush stance without compromising any of its remarkable handling. Under the hood, things remain unchanged, as it features the standard 6.5-liter V-12 engine that delivers a total of 700 horsepower and 509 pound-feet of torque. With this amount of power, the Aventador will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds and up to a top speed of 217 mph.
2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster
As promised, today is the day that Lamborghini has dropped the official details on the new Aventador LP700-4 Roadster. The model has been described as "the most exciting series production Lamborghini ever built and the new benchmark in the world of open-top luxury super sports cars." To no surprise, the new Roadster version features a design language similar to the coupe version, except for the changes any open-top model requires. For example, the rear pillar has been redesigned to offer total support for the removable roof and a new engine hood that features a central "spinal column" with two pairs of hexagonal windows connected at the sides. The new Aventador Roadster is being offered with a two-piece roof made entirely from carbon fiber that can be stored in the front luggage compartment. Under the hood you will find the same 6.5 liter aspirated V12 that delivers a total of 700 horsepower and mated to an ISR 7-speed gearbox. The Roadster version will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3 seconds and can hit a top speed of 217 mph. In Europe the model can be already ordered and the price will start from 300,000 euro or about $380,000 at the current exchange rates. UPDATE 11/15/2012: Lamborghini has finally announced the U.S. prices for its new Aventador Roadster, and we have to admit it’s a little bit more than we were expecting: $445,300, including the $3,700 gas-guzzler tax. Hit the jump to read more about the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Spyder. Full story Video: Lamborghini Aventador Roadster Roof is Easier to Install Than the Murciélago’s, but Still a ProcessWhen Lamborghini unveiled the new Aventador Roadster, it described the car’s two-piece roof as very easy to install. In fact, the official announcement says that each of the two 13-pound carbon-fiber pieces can be attached and removed in just a "matter of seconds." The question that begs to be answered is “in a matter of seconds for whom: a Lamborghini engineer or a regular customer?” We think the above video will give you an idea of what to really expect. During the car’s official presentation, Lamborghini wanted to show its customers how to install this wonder-roof. The problem is that it took a Lamborghini rep about two minutes to install it! Granted, he was talking while working, but he has been trained to install the roof. Now, imagine someone with absolutely no training installing this roof and you can see how it could take about two minutes. That’s a real problem if you happen to live in a place where torrential and sudden rainfall is the norm, like London or South Florida. Nevertheless, we need to admire the absolute beauty in this masterpiece of a vehicle. We’re also pretty sure that it’ll take a few dozen practice installations before a new owner can install the roof "in a matter of seconds." One thing is for sure, the Aventador’s roof is easier to install than the soft top on the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster. That process seems to require two people, a sledgehammer, hope, prayers, and a few choice four-letter words to accomplish. Check out top-installation process on the Murcielago in the video after the jump. Full story
DMC Tuning teases new package for the Lamborghini Aventador
DMC Tuning’s current program for the Lamborghini Aventador, the one billed as the LP900 Molto Veloce, is already a barn burner in its own right. Apparently, there’s a sequel coming and looking at the teaser photo that the German tuner dropped, it appears like it’s going to be a noteworthy successor to the LP900 Molto Veloce. DMC is doing a wonderful job keeping the full details close to its chest, but there’s something about this teaser that seems to suggest that it’s going to be a completely different program with a different body kit. Look at the front bumper and you can’t help but wonder if there are design cues from the one-off Aventador J sprinkled in there. The light setup also seems to suggest that there’s something different about it. The good news is that we won’t have to wait too long to find out what DMC Tuning has in store for the Lamborghini supercar. The official release of the program has been scheduled for December 12, 2012, so keep your eyes and ears open for the date. Something about this teaser makes us think that we’re going to be blown away with the DMC’s sequel program for the mighty Aventador. Click past the jump to read DMC’s press release.
2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Bianco by Wheelsandmore
Back in May, Wheelsandmore was unveiling a very cool 777 HP Rabbioso package based on the Lamborghini Aventador. Now the tuner turns its attention on the Italian supercar once again. The car is covered in a very cool Bianco paint combined with black racing stripes and numerous elements in carbon look. The car rides on a new set of 6 Sporz ultralight forged wheels with an individualized design and matte-black powder-coated centers. The outside of the rims is painted in the same Bianco shade as the rest of the body. The front wheels measure in at 9.5-by-20 inches and the rear wheels come in at 12.5-by-21 inches. Under the hood Wheelsandmore added in a software upgrade that takes its output up to 551 kW (777 horsepower) and 760 Nm (560 pound-feet) of torque. That’s a 77-horsepower and 51-pound-feet increase over the base Aventador. While this package offers no exterior upgrades, the tuner is offering up numerous optional carbon-fiber elements, including: rear diffuser, rear wing, 5-piece engine compartment covers, trunk compartment cover, front spoiler, mirror caps and stands and a 10-piece air intake. The entire kit, excluding the exterior modifications, comes in at €27,221 ($34,793 at the current exchange rates).

Sharon Buffs the Lamborghini Aventador
There’s no mistaking that Lamborghini hit a home run with its latest supercar, the Aventador, but for all of the unmistakable epic-ness of this Italian beast, there’s still some way that you can make it better.

Video: Lamborghini Aventador by Mansory spotted in Dubai
With a price tag of over half a million dollars, which to a Dubai Sheikh is bread and butter, this example of Mansory’s take on the Lamborghini Aventador was spotted in the valet parking lot at one of the famous malls in Dubai (for those who know Dubai, it’s the Fashion Avenue at the Dubai Mall). Unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Auto Show, this crazy Lambo is powered by a tuned (why?) version of the already-powerful 6.5 V12 that now produces 754bhp and 750Nm of torque, a subtle yet gut-wrenching increase from the standard 690bhp. How gut-wrenching, you ask? It rockets from 0-60mph in 2.8 seconds and, with the pedal hard on the floor, it’ll hit 220 mph without breaking a sweat. Murdering performance aside, this Aventador sports bigger air vents, a custom-made ultralight forged rims with carbon fiber inlays, and a paint-job that is similar to the one that was sprayed on the Aventador J, the only car that trumps this when it comes to performance. With numbers like these, we expect to write an article on "Mansory Lamborghini Aventador gets speeding ticket" or "Mansory Lamborghini Aventador crashes," if the owner decides to unleash that raging bull. Rest assured, it’s a car that will turn everybody’s head. If not the crazy-yet-cool design, then the screaming, fire-breathing V12 engine. | Lamborghini Aventador tuning:Find us on Facebook | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
