With the Aventador, Lamborghini is taking a big step into the future – and building on the glorious history of the brand with the next automotive legend. The first customers will take delivery of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 in late summer 2011.

The Lamborghini name gets a new car with the Aventador which was officially revealed in February 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. The Aventador is the successor to Lamborghini’s Murcielago SV which they’ve been making since 2001. You’ll notice that the Aventador doesn’t feature the rear wing or the deep side sill of the Murcielago, but the Lamborghini Aventador counters with wide side vents and huge rear fenders. Those are just a few of the differences though between the two, it definitely looks like the Aventador will be a worthy successor.
