You mess with the bull…

Lamborghini has released their latest flagship supercar: the Aventador. 

If you have the burning desire to go from zero to sixty miles per hour in 2.9 seconds and have everyone stare at you as you blast down the street in your blaze orange rocket-ship-on-wheels, you should contact your local Lamborghini dealer and ask about the new Aventador.

Twelve roaring cylinders producing 700 galloping stallions worth of power would not disappoint even craziest of adrenaline junkies.  Nor would traveling at a top speed of 217 miles per hour. 

Despite these figures, critics have chastised Lamborghini for not being bold and brash enough.  Since it was acquired by German automotive juggernaut Volkswagen group in 1998, Lamborghini has made more reliable and drivable cars, with marginally less testosterone.  In the 80s Lamborghini had the reputation of being completely set your pants on fire insane, but also extremely unreliable.  Now, Lambo can dip their hand in the Volkswagen parts bin, and benefit from German engineering prowess. This produces solid automobiles that will still turn every head, they just lack the

space thrusters and flux capacitors they had in the 80s.

The Aventador will silence the critics, or at least drown them out with the grumble of a V-12.  With deep quad exhausts and massive side air intakes to feed the gas guzzling engine how could anyone question the lunacy of this machine.  It even has a starter button reminiscent of nuclear missile launchers.  Set the threat level to orange, because this missile is go for launch.  In fact, the whole car inside and out looks like a stealth fighter with its sharp lines, sleek stance, and piercing headlights.  The cockpit has industrial toggle switches and an instrument cluster worthy of any aircraft.  And with its new lightweight carbon fiber frame and body, its sure to

handle like a top gun fighter. 

The Aventador replaces its eight-year-old predecessor, the Murcielago.  The Aventador is a completely new automobile, hardly sharing any parts with its father, and gaining 60 horsepower.  Combined with its new frame, this makes for a faster, lighter, and more agile racing machine.  And its new edgy styling makes it a true Lamborghini, much like Lamborghinis of the 70s and 80s. 

The Aventador has restored the Lamborghini image back to its roots of pure adrenaline fuelled madness.  Prepare for impact, Lamborghini has let loose the dogs of war.
