Lamborghini Murcielago Successor gets F1-inspired Pushrod Suspension, Debut Confirmed for Geneva Show


It’s official: the much-awaited successor to the Lamborghini Murcielago (named either Aventador or Jota, depending on who you ask), will be unveiled at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show in early March. As well as officially confirming the supercar's show debut, Lamborghini also revealed details on the suspension.

The Murcielago's replacement will come with an F1-inspired pushrod spring and damper concept, tuned to "meet the needs of a high-performance road-going vehicle." Mores specifically, Lamborghini said that instead of linking to the wheel mounts, the spring/damper elements are connected to the body shell structure, in a transverse position. Pushrods and relay levers/rockers transmit the forces from the wheel mounts to the spring/damper elements, offering a series of benefits.

Because of this setup, wheel control and damper are separate units, improving handling and the reaction of the springs/dampers. This allowed engineers to use less stiff springs, increasing comfort. Last but not least, the shock absorbers are equipped with a hydraulic lifting system, capable of raising the front end of the car by 4 centimeters (1.57 inches) at the push of a button. Thus, small obstacles can be negotiated without causing damage to the front bumper.

All suspension parts are made from a forged aluminum alloy.

As previously reported, the Lambo is motivated by a newly developed 700HP 6.5-liter V12 engine, while stopping power comes from 400mm 6-pot caliper ventilated front and 380mm 4-pot caliper rear carbon ceramic brakes. The LP700-4 runs on 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels, shod in 255/35 and 335/30 tires respectively.

The steering system is hydraulic with three different servotronic settings, ranging from the hardcore “corsa” racetrack mode to less demanding setups.

There’s no official information on pricing yet, but one German dealer has already listed the car as the “Aventador LP700-4” for €309,900 (US$423,757) with 19% tax.

German Dealer Offers Upcoming Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 for Sale


From the same German car dealer that listed the production version of the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento concept for sale comes our next story on future models up for grabs. This time, exotic car dealer Auto Salon Singen is advertising the sale of the upcoming successor to the Lamborghini Murcielago, which the company names Aventador LP700-4. The forthcoming Italian supercar is listed on the site at a net price of €260,420 (US$346,500) or €309,900 (US$412,300) with 19% tax. There's even a list with performance specs and standard equipment features.

Up until now, Lamborghini has only released a few official details about the Murcielago's replacement, mostly concentrated on the flagship model's newly developed 6.5-liter V12 engine that tips the scales at just 235 kg or 518 lbs, and churns out 700HP at 8,250 rpm and a maximum torque of 690 Nm (479.4 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm.

However, a recently leaked dealer order guide provided us a few more bits of information including preliminary performance specs such as the upcoming supercar's 0 to100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time of 2.9 seconds and its top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph).

Murcielago LP640 “Yeniceri Edition”: Unicate’s World Record Setting Lamborghini


When you see "world record" and "Lamborghini Murcielago" in the same sentence, in a tuner's press release, usually something extreme follows, with out-of-this-world power and speed being pretty safe bets.

But that's not how Unicate does things. The German tuner pushed the envelope in a different way with this Yeniceri Edition Murcielago. This here example of Sant' Agata's supercar has the biggest tires ever fitted to a Murcielago.

In stock form, the Lamborghini uses 8,5x20 front rims, with a 2 inch outer lip, shod in 235 tires, and 13x20s in the rear with a 6 inch outer lip, wrapped around in 335s. Pretty impressive stuff.

Then came Unicate and replaced these default amenities as follows: 10,5x20s with a full 4 inch lip and 285/25 ZR 20 tires in front and massive 13,5x21s with a 6 inch outer lip and 375/25 ZR 21 rubber at the rear. And that, apparently, is enough for a self proclaimed world record...

"We wanted to take the wheels to the extremes and wanted to give it a wider wheel on the rear but there aren't any tires wide enough. It's great! It drives much better now than when it had the smaller original wheels on, it's much more sportier now and you have the real feeling of driving a safer sports cars." CEO and founder of Unicate and the MEC Design Group, Cem Altun, said.

Other exterior modifications include a custom exhaust system (that delivers 20 extra horsepower) and paint job, lowered suspension and LED daytime running lights incorporated into the front grill and side skirts.

The interior got some attention too, being richly clad in carbon fiber and also boasts a new, more powerful music system.

There's no information about the price and availability, but we hope that's not another world record.
