Miami is one of the biggest markets for Lamborghini. Which is why they brought a very unique Aventador to the unveiling ceremony of the car, along with hot models and Valentino Balboni himself. It’s a matte black one which looks freezingly cool. So far we’d just seen this car in red and white, but this color just suits the amazing looks of the car better. Lamborghini knew this color would go down well with Miami drug lords, who are the typical customers of cars like these! The Aventador is an awesome piece of design. Check it out after the jump.

The Lamborghini Aventador Polizia?
Lamborghini has launched a tradition in the recent past by offering some of their cars to Italian Police Forces. We've all seen the Gallardo in Polizia livery but now, it's the Aventador's turn.
Milanno Artworks, along with CarreraDesign, have come up with four renderings of what the Aventador Polizia may look like, should the famed Italian car brand decide to create another of its famous cop cars.
As this is not a “real” car, details are scarce. We expect that it will feature, as the Gallardo does, a defibrillator and a refrigerated container for quick organ transport. Speaking of quick, this blue and white street-racer's nightmare should be powered by the same 700hp V12.
Although stealth is not a word that can describe the Aventador, all the LED lights on this car are located within the air intakes and on the dashboard; a huge light-pod on the roof would ruin the Lambo's otherwise sensual and aerodynamic lines.

Oakley Design gives Lamborghini 760-hp, rear-wheel-drive
What you’re looking at here is the first tuning program for the Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador. Done by Oakley Design, three of these custom models have already been sold. While Oakley Design will only produce five Limited Edition models, individual parts will be available for customers who do not require the complete package.
While Lamborghini calls its new flagship supercar the LP700-4, Oakley Design calls it the LP760-2. LP700-4 stands for 700 horses and the 4 stands for all-wheel-drive. In Oakley’s world, the LP760-2 stands for 760-hp with a maximum torque of 550 lb-ft and the 2 stands for all that power being sent to the rear-wheels.
Oakley is also knocking off some weight with the help of Intrax. Suspension upgrades and the removal of the front differential, drive shafts and associated front drivetrain parts will reduce curb weight by 187 pounds.
Of course, there are some nice aerodynamic body upgrades, which you can read more after the jump.

An Exclusive Look at the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4
There's no denying that the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 was one of the biggest stars of the 2011 Geneva Auto Show. It had all the ingredients of a show-stopping supercar stuffed into a shape that was rivaled only by the models standing next to it.
But seeing the new Lamborghini sitting on a show stand is one thing. Hearing the Aventador LP700-4 ripping across the desert is another experience entirely. We know this because we recently spent a day with the new Lamborghini on a film shoot in the California desert.
The Aventador LP700-4 wore the same Argos orange color as the showcar, so it looked particularly striking after getting covered in a thick coat of dry lake silt. And when it fired up to head out for its beauty shots, the sound of its 6.5-liter V12 didn't disappoint.
We're looking forward to getting behind the wheel of this new Lamborghini later this spring, but for now we'll have to be content with this quick and dirty preview. If you weren't looking forward to the debut of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 before, you will be after seeing our photos and videos from the desert. Enjoy.

VIDEO: How Does The Lamborghini LP 700-4 LOOK On The Road?
It's one thing to see a car on the stage under harsh, bright lighting but it is a totally different experience to see the same car on the street.
That's because when you place a bright orange Lamborghini Aventador on a Berlin street, it makes a bit of a different apperance. Probably because there isn't a 1,000 photographers with flashbulbs and a sound system pumping out some rhythmic drum and bass music.
Yes, alright, it was a presentation, but UNBELIVEBLE to see it in a public street! Wow!

Video: Lamborghini Aventador HUGE REVS sound
After a career that lasted about ten years, Italy’s legendary Lamborghini Murcielago has already been replaced with a new model. And what a model!
The new Bull God will feature an earth shattering 700hp V12 and the highest power to weight ratio of any car in its class. Since you’re asking, the whole thing weighs 1,575kg - lean, for a two-door instrument of shouty oversteer.
The Aventador gets Lambo’s new ISR transmission, claimed to be faster and ‘more emotional’ than a dual-clutch system. The suspension is a Formula 1-style inboard pushrod spring and damper set-up, a system previously seen on only the most expensive hypercars, such as the Ferrari Enzo and Maserati MC12.
Perhaps this is the first video in the world that has the delicious V12 of the Aventador showing off it’s wares.
A bit of trivia, Aventador was the name of the bull that won the “Trofeo de la Peña La Madroñena” in 1993.
Prices start at £201,900 with first deliveries beginning later this year.

Lamborghini already sells out its Aventador supercar
It has only been a week since the new supercar's debut at the Geneva Motor Show, but Lamborghini says its Aventador LP 700-4 is already sold out for the next 12 months.
Lambo says it has "an exceptional order bank" for its new 12-cylinder flagship model.
"We confirmed our long-term strategy, which calls for stable and significant investments in new products even in difficult times. We see a slow and steady recovery of the market," said Stephen Winkelmann, CEO of Lamborghini in Italy.
As great as that all sounds, bear in mind that a huge production tally at Lambo isn't quite what you'd expect to find at just about any other automaker. Lamborghini delivered only 1,302 cars last year, down from 1,515 in 2009. The U.S. remains Lambos largest market but the second may come as a surprise: China. Last year, 209 Lambos were delivered there, a 150% increase over 2009.

Geneva 2011: Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4
Lamborghini's fifth generation V12 supercar made its official debut in Geneva, and while we've already detailed every aspect of the Aventador LP700-4 in our in-depth article we published yesterday, today we finally had the opportunity to get some first person impressions of the latest Raging Bull.
Lamborghini had three Aventadors on display, ranging from the bright orange example we first saw in the studio photos to a more subtle grey and a stunning matte white. The white, in particular, shows off the various styling elements of the exterior, especially the muscular creases on the front and sides. Despite having more complex lines, the Aventador still manages to have a cleaner look than some of the later generation Murcielagos. We snag a few minutes inside, and the quality of materials is proof that Lamborghini is continuing to benefit the Volkswagen Group's influence.

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Interior Revealed
Just when we were about to say we'll see nothing new about the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 before the Geneva Auto Show (and aside for the images already shown this past week), somebody from the auto maker's PR department succeeds in proving us wrong.
So far, without revealing the model per se, Lamborghini managed to show us both the front end and the side view of its newest creation. Until now, however, we had no photo of the interior. That problem has been solved today, with the release of the first photo showing the interior, accompanied by a mugshot of the engine and a detailed look at the door.
As we repeatedly and obsessively told you the past few months, the new Lambo on the block will come packing a 6.5l V12 engine, capable of developing 700 horsepower and 690 Nm of torque. The engine and all its power is kept at bay with the help of a Graziano ISR 7-speed automatic transmission.
Being a pure-breed Lamborghini, the Aventador LP700-4 comes equipped with everything that makes a hyper car great. Words like Haldex all-wheel drive system aluminum double wishbone suspension, or carbon ceramic brakes fit the model as a well crafted glove.
And so do the performance figures: the model is capable of a naught to sixty acceleration in only 2.9 seconds, with the top speed going to as much as 217 mph (350 Km/h).

Lamborghini to Reveal Flagship Supercar in Geneva
Lamborghini said it plans to unveil a flagship supercar which will carry a price tag of more than $370,000. The company said the vehicle, which will be called the Aventador, is its most powerful series production vehicle ever.
The Aventador LP 700-4 is equipped with a V12 engine that can generate a power of 700-hp. With the help of this engine, this vehicle can sprint to 100 kilometers per hour in 2.9 seconds. As reported by autonews, the vehicle is excepted to be revealed on March 1 at the Geneva Motor Show.
A person from the company who refused to reveal his identity said autonews that the Aventador, which replaces the Volkswagen AG brand’s top-of-the-line Murcielago model, is already sold for the first year of production. Lamborghini, which is competing with Fiat’s Ferrari, will decide over the next year whether to add a third model to its portfolio to complement the Aventador and Gallardo lines.
The company expects that the launch of the Aventador will help it to help capitalize on a recovering market for luxury autos costing more than $200,000. The report from IHS, the supercar sales in the U.S. may surge 146% this year for vehicles costing from $200,000 to $400,000 after plunging 40%in 2010, gives hope to this Italian automaker.
With an expected boom in the automobile sector, Lamborghini is increasing the production of the Aventador. By March 1, it is expected that the output will be expanded to build around 100 cars. The company has already started to take orders for the vehicle which has a top speed of 350 kilometers per hour. The sales of Aventador will begin in the second quarter of this year.

Detroit 2011: more info about the Lamborghini 834 a.k.a. Aventador
Absent at Detroit's NAIAS, Lamborghini still managed to draw attention. CEO Stephan Winkelmann and head of R&D Maurizio Reggiani spoke briefly about the Murciélago's successor during a special conference.
The car will be named 834 and not Aventador as many online rumours have previously suggested. It will have all the traditional modern Lamborghini cues, including all-wheel drive, scissor doors and prominent air intakes.
The new 6.5-litre V12 engine will be 18-percent more powerful while emitting 20 percent less CO2. It produces 700 horsepower at 8,450 rpm and 509 pounds-foot of torque at 5,500 rpm.
As announced in November of 2010, the V12 will be mated to a seven-speed, single-clutch ISR transmission featuring five shift modes – Auto, Auto Strada, Strada, Sport and Corsa. The latter will allow shift times in 50 milliseconds (Formula 1 is about 40 ms).
Braking will be handled by 400-mm carbon discs up front and 380-mm discs in the back.
Interior room will be more generous than the Murciélago's and the instrument cluster will consist in a single, large TFT screen.
