Three more pictures. That’s today’s bounty. We now have a much better look at the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 thanks to a profile and angled front-end picture that originated on Jalopnik yesterday. We see the masterful balance of big curves and sharp lines that Lamborghini combined to make an absolutely stunning flagship. The pictures appear to be out of the same magazine as the first leaked picture from earlier this week.

All we need now is a photo of the rear. Take a good hard look and decide for yourself if it’s not the next logical step forward from the Countach, Diablo and Murcielago. [via Jalopnik]

With just three more weeks to go before Geneva, Lamborghini has released a teaser picture of a camoed-up Aventador. The picture doesn’t give us anything that spy photos haven’t, but it’s certainly a good look at the overall shape of the new top Bull. We expect to see a few more official teasers from Lambo over the next few weeks.

Recap: The Aventador LP700-4 will carry 691 hp and 509 lb-ft of torque in an all-new 6.5-liter V12 engine. It’s expected to hit 62 mph in 2.9 seconds and top out at 217 mph.

It seemed to take a lifetime, but Lamborghini has officially debuted the Aventador LP700-4, offering an array of interior and exterior pictures. Not much has changed from all of the unofficial hype, but Lamborghini did state that Aventador deliveries will begin in late summer and the starting price will be $379,700. It will come in 13 colors and options will include a premium sound system and back-up camera.

We’ve been covering Aventador news so regularly that we won’t bore you with rehashed details. But you can scour the press release and pictures after the break.

Can’t say we’re too surprised about this. After many lesser leaks, and Lamborghini’s several-month-long, piece-by-piece Aventador reveal, the first uncovered Aventador picture comes to us by the way of Web leak.

The picture is a scanned magazine pictorial from Evo Magazine Croatia and gives a nice look at the front end and roof of the newest Lamborghini. Unfortunately, there’s only one leaked shot so far, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few more leaks–if not an official Lamborghini reveal–within the next day or two.

Until then, we have this brilliant, red front end to stare longingly at. [via WCF]

Got two minutes? Put them to good use by seeing some of the sweetest footage yet of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. Yeah, it’s still in camo, but you’ll get a good look at Lambo’s all-new flagship from just about every angle–including some footage from inside the cabin. Plus you’ll get to hear that sweet 691-hp V12 purr and purr.

The video was originally leaked by Dutch website Autogespot and appears to be official Lambo footage. Wherever it’s from, it’s worth watching. First the jump, then the play button. [via WCF]

We’ve been taking it for granted that the Murcielago-replacing Aventador/Jota was on schedule for a Geneva Motor Show debut. But the fact was, Lamborghini hadn’t confirmed it. Until today. Lambo made official what we already knew: the world will have a new Bull flagship in early March.

In addition to the rather anticlimactic confirmation, Lamborghini detailed the suspension behind the Aventador. The new car will get an F1-inspired pushrod spring and damper system designed to deliver tighter handling and increased comfort. The shocks will have hydraulic lifters that enable the driver to prop the front bumper up by about 4 centimeters at the push of a button.

The new suspension set-up will deliver absorption for a car motivated by an all-new, 690-hp 6.5-liter V12 engine, which Lamborghini detailed back in the fall.

Well, after a few months of taking some of the new Lamborghini’s specs for granted, we now have some confirmation. The official dealer guide leaked to the Internet today and offers a closer look at the upcoming Aventador.

First, the book confirms the performance numbers of the Aventador, including its 2.9 second 0-to-62 time and its 217 mph top speed. It also shows the new Lambo will be available in two new colors: Grigio Estoque (a metallic grey) and Arancio Argos (a pearl affect orange).

The one thing that the book leaves a mystery: the car’s name. It refers only to a LP700-4, not a Jota or an Aventador. [via AutoBlog]

This, my friends, is the Lamborghini Aventador, the replacement for the Murcielago. And it’s the best look that we’ve seen yet.

As has been Lamborghini’s M.O. of late, we see some sharp lines and triangular angles similar to those used on the Reventon and Sesto Elemento concept. On the other end of that prominent air intake behind the door sits Lamborghini’s new 700-hp 6.5-liter V12 engine, which should power the flagship to a 2.9-second 0-to-62 mph time and a 217 + mph top speed.

For a while, we’ve been taking the name Jota for granted. But new rumors today indicate that the next top-end Lambo may use an entirely different name: Aventador. Rumors from various forums and European automotive site Autogespot say that Lamborghini quietly introduced the name (and car) at a no cameras event at its headquarters in Sant’ Agata Bolognese. The company also reportedly trademarked the name in the U.S. The Aventador name has been linked to a bull that competed in the Plaza de Toros de Zaragoza, giving it a little extra credibility.
