Lambo Aventador spy shots

The Lamborghini Aventador will fight for top billing at the Geneva Motor Show next week against the Ferrari FF and a wild bunch of other concept cars.

But the Carparazzi crew has already tracked the successor to the V12-powered Murcielago to northern Scandinavia, where the car is undergoing the usual cold-weather test work.

The new Lamborghini has traded its previous stealth fighter-style, flat black camouflage for a swirly black-and-white pattern isn't much of an improvement.

However, the shape of the LP700-4 is now obvious and it seems to get Reventon-inspired lines, particularly at the front end, with the stealthy trapezoidal shapes and crease lines. The Aventador - if the name is the right one for showrooms - will be equipped with an upgraded 6.5-litre V12 engine putting out 515 kiloWatts and 690 Newton-metres of torque to be fed through a Graziano seven-speed automatic, with a single clutch and dual sychronizers.

Top speed is expected to be 350km/h with a 0-100km/h sprint time of 2.9 seconds.
