For an automotive journalist, it was one of those ‘I was there’ moments. The unveiling of a 12-cylinder Lamborghini doesn’t happen frequently. Twelve-cylinder Lamborghinis are part of automotive lore; they are always reverentially spoken about.
So,this year’s Geneva Motor Show was special in that sense — the world saw the Aventador in the flesh for the first time. Developing 700 horses from a 6.5-litre V-12, the hot new Lamborghini is a car that’s going to grace the walls of college-going kids across the world for some time now. Much like what it’s predecessors the Miura, Countach, Diablo and the Murcielago (which the Aventador effectively replaces) have done for over four decades. Showcasing fighter aircraft-inspired design inside and out, the Aventador has cutting-edge technology allowing it to go from standstill to 100 kph in an unimaginable sub-three seconds. A poster-boy for the supercar world of sorts.
