Italian supercar maker claims to have filed a claim for the name with the U.S. trademark agency. The model that was captured testing to replace Murcielago is known as the Jota.
There is more information about the mysterious Lamborghini model, which will replace the Murcielago. We have been calling it the Jota, despite speculation and rumours.
Jalopnik.com reports that Lamborghini has filed a claim at the United States trademark Office for the name Aventador’. This could be the name of the upcoming Murcielago replacement. We’ve spotted two prototypes.
Yes, there is more speculation. That’s all there is to it.
What does Aventador mean? Even that definition is speculation. We should just give it a name.
What’s under the hood? A 6.5-liter V12 engine producing 700 horsepower (522 kW/710 PS) and 680 Nm (651 lb-ft) is paired with a 7-speed single clutch gearbox.
Due to its carbon fiber monocoque chassis and F1-inspired rear suspension, the car will be lightweight. The car will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, and reach a top speed of 350 km/h (217 miles/h).
Jalopnik has an Reventon-influenced rendering showing what the car will look when it hits the streets.
Lamborghini’s new V12 engine details have been released. Coming soon.
