  • Lamborghini’s Latest Teaser Reveals A Likely Final Version Of The Aventador

    Lamborghini’s Latest Teaser Reveals A Likely Final Version Of The Aventador

    Earlier this year, Lamborghini had confirmed revealing two new V12 models in 2021 and one of them could be the final version of the Avantador series, while the second one could be the hybrid that will be the successor to the Aventador. Well! The supercar maker has now released a new teaser on social media platforms, that shows two new Lamborghinis, and the headlight cluster easily gives away the Aventador leading in the image. It shows a shadowed pair of cars cruising along a twisty road and headlights beaming through the darkness.

    Now a spy video that surfaced online in May showed a partially camouflaged Aventador undergoing testing. The entire front end was under wraps along with the side sills, rear fenders, and upper rear intakes. At the rear, the car sported the SVJ’s exhaust and diffuser while the rest of the car looked like an Aventador S. The wraps did a good job in hiding the design changes and they remained hidden in the new teaser image as well. That said, we are just speculating both to be the same models. According to rumours, this is the Lamborghini Aventador S Jota which is destined to become the most powerful Aventador ever.

    The 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 is likely to churn out close to 760 bhp which is humongous but the Sian puts out 807 through its hybrid powertrain. Lamborghini is likely to make other changes to the powertrain and chassis in a bid to improve the model’s performance capabilities further. More details on that are likely to follow soon on July 7, when Lamborghini will reveal the new model.

  • Aston Martin Confirms Limited Edition V12 Speedster

    Aston Martin Confirms Limited Edition V12 Speedster

    Aston Martin has confirmed that a strictly limited number of the new V12 Speedster will make it production. The car will make its global debut later this year, with discerning drivers around the world offered the opportunity to acquire this sports car.

    The V12 Speedster, created by in-house bespoke service Q by Aston Martin, is all about being a driver-oriented sports car and yes it is a two-seater. The new car’s design, while modern and dynamic, also clearly nods to both Aston Martin’s legendary 1959 Le Mans 24 hours- and 1000km of Nurburgring race-winning DBR1 as also the Centenary CC100 Speedster Concept shown in 2013. It’s forward-looking features are shaped from the same advanced materials and expert engineering used throughout Aston Martin’s contemporary sports car range.

    Creating the new V12 Speedster has taken months of meticulous design and planning work by the teams from both Q by Aston Martin, and Aston Martin Design. At the new car’s heart lies a high-performance variant of Aston Martin’s now iconic, 5.2-litre V12 Twin-Turbo engine, capable of generating an output of around 700 horsepower and 700 Nm. The engine is mated to a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission mounted towards the rear of the car. The company says that the engine note and sound quality play an important part in the overall experience.

    Aston Martin Lagonda President and Group CEO, Dr. Andy Palmer said: “The V12 Speedster we’re proud to confirm today once again showcases not only this great British brand’s ambition and ingenuity, but also celebrates our rich and unrivaled heritage. The 88 enthusiast drivers and collectors who secure the keys to these cars can be confident that in doing so, they are also securing an iconic new piece of Aston Martin history.”

    Deliveries of the car will start from the first quarter of 2021.

  • Aston Martin Shows Off DBS Superleggera Volante

    Aston Martin Shows Off DBS Superleggera Volante

    Aston Martin has opened the roof on the new DBS Superleggera Volante. This is the second Aston Martin to carry the Volante name following the introduction of the company’s Second Century Plan. The DBS Superleggera Volante has been designed in-house under the guidance of Executive Vice President & Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman. Aston Martin’s primary mission has also been to retain the coupe’s powerful dynamics, aggressive poise and astonishing performance.

    Powered by Aston Martin’s own 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12, producing 715 bhp and 900 Nm of torque, the top speed of the DBS Superleggera Volante stands at 340 kmph. 0-100 kmph is done in just 3.6 seconds and it’s not just the power and torque that makes the difference but also the car’s aerodynamic credentials which help in commanding and exploiting the surface airflow to maximum effect. Up front, the car’s splitter and airdam work in unison, accelerating airflow underneath the front of the car to deliver true downforce and assist cooling by feeding air to the front brakes. The new deeper side strake draws more air from the front wheel arch to reduce lift and aid high-speed stability.

    Executive Vice President & Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman said: “DBS Superleggera produces a spectacular and relentless level of performance and so for the Volante, we focussed on bringing that extra level of sensory overload that only an open-top Super GT can deliver inside the cabin. With the unique dynamics, beautiful yet brutish design and the unmistakable harmonics of Aston Martin’s 5.2-litre V12 engine, we believe we have delivered a unique and unforgettable driving experience that is synonymous with the traditions of the Volante name.”

    Behind the front wheels, the ‘curlicue’ allows air to escape and flow smoothly along the car’s flanks, while the double diffuser at the rear allows air to exit cleanly and neutralise lift as efficiently as possible. A revised iteration – to accommodate the Volante’s clothed roofline – of the revolutionary Aeroblade ll system continues to deliver additional downforce at the car’s rear. At VMAX, the DBS Superleggera Volante produces 177kg of downforce, just 3kg less than the coupe, an impressive feat when considering the car’s fundamental aerodynamic changes.

    The 900Nm of torque is fed via a carbon-fibre prop shaft to a new ZF 8-speed automatic transmission mounted at the back of the car. Specially developed adaptive software gauges the conditions the car is operating in, along with the driver’s demands, to ensure the car is in exactly the right gear at the right time.

    Aston Martin’s engineers have worked hard to ensure the best possible roof and rear package is achieved, while still delivering conflicting targets of styling and durability. The roof operation takes 14 seconds to open and 16 seconds to close and can be operated from inside or, for added convenience, from the remote key within a two-metre radius of the car.
