Car Articles Hypercar Of The Year 2011


This is the Lamborghini Aventador and it is the winner of the Car Articles Hypercar Of The Year 2011 award. Why? It sold out after announcement for 12 months, it’s a two door, two seater raging bull that has a price tag of over £200,000. Oh, and it runs to a top speed of around 220 miles per hour. Fast much? Well of course that’s a staggering figure, though the 0-60 time of 2.9 seconds is even better.
The Aventador has a carbon fibre monocoque which is similar in construction to a formula 1 car. This provides a very rigid, very safe frame around which to bolt on everything else and to cocoon the driver in. Pushrod suspension ensures inch perfect travel. A 6.5 litre V12 powers this futuristic vision and offers up a simply staggering almost 700 horsepower and the same for torques.
Well done to Lamborghini for producing such a formidable machine that is the Aventador. It is a true Italian work of art.
