More here:At 10 p.m. sharp, a brace of Volkswagen vans spills out nine automotive journalists near the entrance of the famous Nardo test track. Straddling hydraulic hoists in Lamborghini's anonymous-looking garage are three thinly disguised prototypes marked VIN 1 (orange), 2 (yellow), and 3 (charcoal). We are the very first group of journalists to drive the next Lambo flagship. Our goal is to find out whether this project -- internally code-named LB834 but which will likely be badged Aventador in production -- has what it takes to upset the supercar establishment.

Pics inside: Lamborghini teases Aventador pushrod suspensionLamborghini says the Aventador will come to market with an advanced pushrod suspension system — making it the first series production car to come so equipped. Lamborghini says the pushrod setup will return “‘motorsport’ feel combined with long-distance comfort.”
According to the latest information, the Aventador will arrive with a slightly lower horsepower figure of 690, but a zero-to-62 time that stayed the same at a blisteringly fast 2.9 seconds. That is thanks to the new 12-cylinder developing 509 lb-ft of torque to go along with the 690 horsepower, which should be good for a top speed of 217 mph.
