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.[2] Internally codenamed LB834,[3] the Aventador was designed to replace the ten-year-old Murciélago as the new flagship model in the Lamborghini lineup starting in 2011.[4]
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.[5] The suggested retail price is €255,000 in Europe, GB£201,900 in the UK and US$379,700 in the U.S.[6][7][8]
Lamborghini says that the Aventador is two generations ahead of anything else on sale, using Formula One-style suspension and a lightweight carbon fibre monocoque.[13] Stylistically, the Aventador represents an evolution of its predecessor, the Murciélago. The car's shape also borrows heavily from Lamborghini's limited-edition Reventón and their Estoque concept car.

As Aventador test vehicles made the rounds of the major-market
automotive magazines such as Car and Driver and Motor Trend, the
reaction was electric. Individual opinions merged to agree on a single
conclusion: The Aventador may very well be the best supercar that
Lamborghini has ever produced. Car and Driver left no room for
speculation, unequivocally publishing their review under the title "The
best Lamborghini ever." Motor Trend calls it "the friendliest V-12
supercar in the world." Praise for Lamborghini's all-new V-12 powerplant
centered on the engine's responsiveness, accessible torque and
monstrous but smooth power output. Criticism centered mainly around the
Aventador's unrefined single-disc clutch. However, the overarching
sentiment that the Aventador evoked in the motorsport world was
resoundingly positive. [21][22]
On 31 July 2011, the Aventador was reviewed by the motorsport show Top Gear. Host Richard Hammond was impressed with the performance and handling of the car. His biggest complaint was a nostalgic poke at the Aventador's accessible temperament, implying that it left him longing for the "danger" associated with driving previous Lamborghini supercars. [23] The Aventador posted the third fastest time ever recorded on the Top Gear track with a time of 1.16.5, handily beating not only the monstrous $2mil Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, The Ferrari Enzo and the Porsche GT3, but an extensive list of A-list supercars from around the world. In episode 18 of the program cohost Jeremy Clarkson says the Aventador is the best alternative to the Ferrari 458 Italia, describing it as being "£200000 worth of dreams." [24]
The Lamborghini Aventador makes an appearance on video games such as Gran Turismo 5 via confirmed downloadable content, Forza Motorsport 4 via the November Speed Pack DLC, Car Town, Forza Horizon, Need for Speed: The Run, and was heavily featured in Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012). It also served as the cover art of the PlayStation Vita game Asphalt: Injection and iOS game Asphalt 7: Heat.
Lamborghini Aventador J
The J designation was thought to have come from Appendix J in the FIA rulebook that describes the technical specifications of race cars.[28] However during an interview with designer Filippo Perini, it was revealed that the 'J' actually stands for Jota, in reference to 1970's one off Lamborghini Miura Jota which also conformed the FIA's Appendix J regulations.

Etymology
According to Lamborghini promotional materials, Aventador name was chosen for its symbolic connection to the world of fighting bulls, sharing a name with the legendary Aventador, a trophy-winning bull in the world of Spanish bullfighting. Bred by the sons of Don Celestino Cuadri Vides, the bull that bore the number 32 took part in a notably spirited, bloody and violent battle with a torero in the town of Zaragoza, Spain that earned him the “Trofeo de la Peña La Madroñera" in 1993.[3][9]Production
Production will be limited to 4,000 units (4,099 Murciélagos 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.[10] The first 1,000 Aventadors were built in 15 months.

Other variants
Aventador J
Six months after unveiling the Aventador, plans for a roadster version were leaked by the U.S. EPA after it included the model on a data sheet on its website. Lamborghini officially unveiled the Aventador J to the world at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.[25] The roofless and windowless concept car uses the same V12 engine as the standard Aventador, producing 700 hp through a lightweight seven-speed automated transmission. The car has also been stripped of its air conditioning and radio units to save further weight, allowing it to weigh in at only 3,472 pounds (1,575 kg).[26][27] The car presented at the Geneva show was the only unit to be produced, and was sold for US$2.8 million. Another Limited Edition model was made for Yahyaa Shaikh and was sold at an unknown price. The car was specially made for a close relation.[28][29]The J designation was thought to have come from Appendix J in the FIA rulebook that describes the technical specifications of race cars.[28] However during an interview with designer Filippo Perini, it was revealed that the 'J' actually stands for Jota, in reference to 1970's one off Lamborghini Miura Jota which also conformed the FIA's Appendix J regulations.
