Built in Italy, just arrived from the future. The Lamborghini Aventador is the new model from the raging bull automaker. It is the successor to the Murciélago and will be the new flagship model of the Lamborhini lineup. It will retail at US$441,600 and thus far 1,000 models have been made.
In true Lamborghini fashion the name Aventador comes from the name of a bull that apparently “fought particularly valiantly in the bull ring of Saragossa, Spain in 1993”
