Lamborghini launch a new car The Lamborghini Aventador J. it
is one of the most extreme speed demons ever built--and not surprisingly, it
sold quickly.
The roofless, V12-powered supercar fetched about $2.8
million, or about 2.1 million euros at current exchange rates, Lamborghini CEO
Stephan Winkelmann said on Tuesday at the Geneva motor show. That doesn't
include value-added taxes, he said.
A Lamborghini spokesperson declined to reveal the identity
of the buyer.
The Aventador J summons the spirit of the 1970 Jota, a
one-off version of the Miura. Like that car, the Aventador J is also a one-off,
though it does offer an idea of the appearance of potential a roadster version
of the Aventador
.

The Aventador J packs 691 hp from the same 6.5-liter engine
as its fixed-roof, serially produced sibling and is clad in a shade called
Rosso Red. It makes extensive use of carbon fiber, including a patented
material called "carbon skin" for the interior. The car is so extreme
that the driver must wear a helmet, though the car can be registered for road
use, Lamborghini says.
Meanwhile, the Aventador is off to a brisk sales pace,
Winkelmann said. The supercar has an order-bank list of 18 months, and its
launch in the second half of 2011 helped propel Lamborghini to sales of about
1,600 cars last year around the world, an increase of 23 percent.
Additionally, Winkelmann hinted that another vehicle,
expected to be an SUV, would join the Gallardo and the Aventador in the Lambo
lineup.
"We might have in the future a third model," he
teased in Geneva.
After the Lamborghini Aventador J Speedster has been teased,
leaked and then previewed just a day before its official debut, the car company
has finally presented to the public the newest supercar in its lineup.
According to the automaker, the Lamborghini Aventador J Speedster is the most
uncompromising super sports car ever made by the brand, with the model not
having any windscreen and being able to achieve speeds of more than 300 km/h
(186 mph).
The Lamborghini Aventador J Speedstaer is 4,890 mm long, 2,030 mm wide and 1,110 mm tall, being the lowest model that Lamborghini has ever made. Power to the latest Italian creation is coming from the 6.5 liter V12 engine, just like initial rumors were saying, which is developing a total output of 690 BHP and having a peak torque of 690 Nm (509 lb-ft). The engine is mated to the Lamborghini Independent Shifting Rod (ISR) transmission which is sending power to a permanent all-wheel drive system. Lamborghini says that the Aventador J Speedster has already been sold out, even if the price of one unit has been set at 2.2 million euros.
