Oakley Design Creates the First Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Spider of Sorts

This is the first Lamborghini Aventador Spider in the world, sort of. While we’ve seen spy photos of the soon to be released Aventador Roadster being tested by Lamborghini engineers earlier this year, Oakley Design and Refined-Marques decided to put together a topless Aventador of their own beforehand.

Dubbed the Aventador LP760 Spider, this custom chop top model comes with strikingly sharp lines connecting the soon to be removable roof to the body panels of the car.

Cop Doesn't Like the Sounds of a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 in Monaco

Exotic supercars like the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 are flashy, fast and of course, loud, sometimes too much for their own good, especially when their owners have opted for aftermarket goodies such as a more hardcore exhaust system to enhance their character.

Sure, most of us petrol heads wouldn't mind hearing the wonderful sounds of a howling V12 engine on the street, but that does not mean that others will or have to agree.

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Humiliates Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS Roadster

The good ol' tuning folks from Hennessey Performance have just published a new video showing a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 owned by Mario Williams of the Buffalo Bills going against a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster that belongs to a one Mario Mendias of My Fit Foods.

We are not sure if any of the two cars has been tuned by Hennessey or if they are completely stock (we are waiting for a response from the tuner) but the Lamborghini blows the Mercedes in every run.

Watch a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 go from Zero to 220km/h – 137mph on a Side Road

Approaching liftoff speeds on a bumpy side road that crosses between farm lands and residential properties and which is evidently used by slow moving tractors as well as regular passenger vehicles, isn't the brightest idea.

Even more so when there's a sign warning about an intersection ahead…

Luckily for these speed demons trying out a new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, nothing happened – though there's always a next time.

Capristo Crafts a Lighter and Faster Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

While mostly known for its custom exhaust systems, Germany-based Capristo also develops other parts for sports and super cars like the Ferrari 458 Italia and in this case, the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4.

With the raging bull model, Capristo's goal was to increase performance through a specially developed exhaust system and by reducing the Aventador's weight.

Lamborghini Aventador and Elephant Pose Together for ADV.1 Photoshoot

Elephants are impressive animals. In fact, they can lift over 660-lb (300-kg) with only their trunk. Nevertheless, why put one in a photo shoot with a gleaming orange Lamborghini Aventador, you may ask. Why the hell not, is my response.

We've seen everyone and their grandmothers get together a so-called 'cool' photo shoot with the brand new bull, but it's not until ADV.1 decided to stray a little offbeat with an Asian elephant did the Aventador shoot really get everyone's attention.

Chrome Lamborghini Aventador, Viper ACR and Batmobile Assemble at Times Square

New Yorkers and tourists passing through Times Square were treated to a rare sight this past weekend when an assortment of specialty cars were parked on the road for their viewing pleasure.

The vehicles that stood out the most were a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 dressed in a chrome foil wrap with contrasting red pin stripes decorating and highlighting the supercar's hard edges, a Batmobile replica from Tim Burton's 1989 Batman film and a Dodge Viper ACR.

Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 and Lexus LFA Sound Battle [w/Poll]

One of the things all gearheads love about exotic supercars is the sounds produced by their high-horsepower engines.

Of course, as with design, when it comes to engine sounds, everybody has different preferences, which makes this competition between a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 and a Lexus LFA that met up under a tent at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix 2012 event this month all the more interesting.

Lamborghini Celebrates Production of 1,000th Aventador LP700-4

It took Lamborghini only 15 months after launch to produce the 1,000th example of its Aventador LP700-4 - faster than any other V12-powered model in the company's history.

For example, the Aventador's predecessor, the Murciélago, reached the same milestone two years and five months after it launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2001, while previous models took even more.

Lamborghini Aventador Gets a Full Carbon Fiber Treatment from Mansory

If you didn’t find Mansory's first take on the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 from this year's Geneva Motor Show in March extravagant enough, then maybe the Swiss tuner's second proposal will win you over.

Dubbed the Carbonado after the "Black Diamonds" found in parts of Africa and Brazil, Mansory's newest program for the Italian supercar builds on the previous tuning package by replacing most of the Aventador's exterior panels plus the engine compartment cover with lighter components made out of carbon fiber.

One-Off Lamborghini Aventador J and Rare Reventon Roadster Spotted Together in Marbella, Spain

If bumping into one of the 20 Lamborghini Reventon Roadsters in existence sounds like a one in a million chance, we wonder what the odds are for someone to stumble upon the stealthy open top model together with the one-off Aventador J Unica speedster… Read more »

Chrome Gold-Wrapped Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Nabbed by the Cops

We can't say with certainty that this is the first ever Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 to be dressed from top to bottom in a chrome-gold foil wrap, but we can say that it's likely the first of its kind we've seen being pulled over by the cops.

Lamborghini Miami CEO Brett David reportedly unveiled the overly flashy Aventador at a special event in Miami, Florida, over the weekend.

Lamborghini LP 700-4 Aventador Dares 950hp Porsche 911 Turbo by Switzer

With 691-horses (700PS) on tap from its 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 has a substantial power advantage over any stock Porsche 911 Turbo.

But put Ohio-based Switzer Performance into the picture and then the table turns around with the Porsche sports car gaining the power lead.

How Does a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Compare Against a…1930s Ford Model A Rat Rod?

Ever since it came to be, we have seen all sorts of reviews and comparison tests of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, ranging from quarter mile duels against the crème de la crème of supercars like the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport and McLaren MP4-12C to a spectacular speed match on a landing strip with a F16 Falcon jet fighter.

As you can see, publications from all four corners of the world have set the bar pretty high when it comes to testing Lamborghini's finest. All the same, that doesn't mean everything has been done.

So, what would you say about pitting the Aventador against a...1930 Ford Model A Rat Rod to see which of the two vehicles attracts the most attention?

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Challenges an F-16 Fighting Falcon to a Drag Race

Pitting an exotic sports car against a jet fighter to see which one is the fastest on the tarmac, is something that has been done before by - you guessed it, the chaps over at the original Top Gear when they brought together a Bugatti Veyron and the Euro Fighter back in 2007.

Nevertheless, this is a challenge you never get tired of seeing, especially when you have new opponents.

So who is the perpetrator this time? It's Danish auto magazine Bilmagasinet, which wanted to see if the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 could beat an F-16 Fighting Falcon on an airstrip.

Underground Racing Creates First Twin-Turbocharged Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

If you are into tuned Lamborghinis, then you have heard the name Underground Racing before. The Charlotte, North Carolina, based tuning firm has created some of the most insane and powerful Lamborghini models to date.

It's latest project is the first ever twin-turbocharged version of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4.

Prancing Horse gives Ferrari F458 Italia a Kick in the Fender in China

This video gives a new meaning to horsing around. While driving on a busy road in Shanghai, China, a Ferrari 458 Italia and a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 were forced to slow down and eventually stop after a pair of horses and their riders were backing up on the street.

Fearing that the horses may hit their vehicles, the drivers of the two Italian exotic supercars decided to make use of their horns...

Wheelsandmore's Light Tune Up of the Lamborghini Aventador

To be honest, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 doesn't exactly need any help in the looks and performance departments, but for those that cannot do without customizing their cars, Wheelsandmore has prepared a first batch of upgrades. Read more »

Supercar Matchup with Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini Aventador, Lexus LFA and McLaren MP4-12C

Bringing together some of the most exclusive and powerful supercars in the world is a challenge well worth the effort.

In this exotic matchup, Automobile magazine assembled four of the fastest carbon-fiber-bodied rides in America to find out which is the king of the quarter mile on an airport runway.

The challengers are the almighty, 16-cylinder Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport, the new V12-powered Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, the Lexus LFA V10, and the eight-cylinder McLaren MP4-12C.

To see how the race went down, head past the break and watch the video.
