New lamborghini 2012 Aventador LP700-4
This dynamic improvement is helped greatly by the fact that the 518-pound (down 40 pounds from its predecessor) 6.5-liter V12 engine in back – dubbed “L539″ – sits some 2.9-inches lower down in the chassis than the Murcièlago’s 632-hp 6.5-liter. Couple this with the pushrod suspension’s stellar handling characteristics, and this big V12 stays almost as level in tight curves as the featherweight McLaren MP4-12C. The engine cradle is simply placed lower and the dry-sump pan and engine block lose much of this height.
