LAMBORGHINI REVENTON


Automakers often turn to airplaneswhen working out designs for a new car. Both airplanes and vehicles need to be aerodynamic if they're going to perform well, whether in the air or on the road. The auto industry, especially companies that make fast sports cars, is starting to use the same materials out of which airplanes are manufactured. Carbon fiber and fiberglass composites, used for wings and other structural elements on planes, can help make the bodies of cars stronger and lighter at the same time. This also means faster performance (because of less weight) and better crash safety.

LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR

The Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster left me stupefied. Despite my 

experience with countless other high-powered exotics on a variety of racing circuits, 

including nearly all of its Gallardosiblings, the all-wheel-drive, 700-horsepower 

flagship dropped my jaw to the ground.

Lamborghini Countach LP500S

Lamborghini has always been much of a risk taker when it comes to the styling of their supercars. With futuristic design at the forefront, the company has conceptualized and manufactured many automotive legends among which rests the classic Lamborghini Countach. The vehicle range was first launched in 1974 though its 500 S model only debuted in 1982 and remained in production till 1985. The name “Countach” itself is derived from an expression from the popular Piedmontese lingo which is used by men when they see an extremely stunning woman and is a general exclamation of amazement. The model thus broke away from the car naming traditions popular at Lamborghini that named all cars after bull species and bullfighting and was coined by Nuccio Bertone who used the word when he first saw the then “Project 112" in the studio. The design of the mid-engined Lamborghini Countach LP500S supercar laid the brickwork for the sharply angled wedge-shaped Lamborghinis of the later years. The model also popularized and pioneered the forward pushed passenger compartment known as the "cabin-forward" design that allowed the vehicles to fit in a larger engine in the middle of the car.
