#No 2 : Lamborghini Aventador LP700 ( Top Speed : 217mph )
The Lamborghini Aventador LP 700–4 is a two-door,
two-seater sports car publicly unveiled by Lamborghini at the Geneva Motor Show on 28 February 2011, five
months after its initial unveiling in Sant'Agata
Bolognese. Internally codenamed LB834, the Aventador was designed to
replace the ten-year-old Murcielago
as the new flagship model in the Lamborghini lineup starting in 2011. Soon
after the Aventador unveiling, Lamborghini announced that it had already sold
over 12 months of the production vehicles, with deliveries starting in the
second half of 2011.
Production will be limited to 4,000 units (4,099 Murcielagos have been built). The molds used to make the carbon-fibre monocoque are expected to last 500 units each and only 8 have been made. The first 1,000 Aventadors were built in 15 months.
The car's shape also borrows heavily from Lamborghini's limited-edition Reventón and their Estoque concept car.
