A new teaser image for Lamborghini's Aventador SVJ been released, revealing the madhouse supercar... will come in green.
Yep, it's not the most most revealing teaser image we've ever seen, showing little more than the Lamborghini badge perched on the lurid green paintwork, and framed by what appeared to be some pretty angry venting. But it's a start, right? Oh, and Lamborghini has promised, via the picture's caption, that the Aventador SVJ "will blow your mind".
The SVJ (or SuperVeloce Jota) is the super-slippery Aventador that broke the production car lap record at the Nurburgring last month. The heavily camouflaged car recorded a cracking 6:44.97 lap, claiming the title of world's fastest production car (at least around the 'Ring) off the Porsche 911 GT2 RS.
What else do we know? Conjecture mostly, but there will be a power boost to the regular Aventador's 6.5-litre V12 engine, as well as under-body work to the chassis and suspension. The big news, though, will be its aerodynamics, with the SVJ "designed to have the best aerodynamic efficiency" courtesy of the Italian brand's ALA (Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva) system.
Everything else will have to wait, we're afraid. But not long now; the Aventador SVJ will be unveiled in full at Pebble Beach in the USA on August 23.
Will the Lamborghini Aventado SVJ be crowned king of the supercars? Tell us in the comments below.

Andrew Chesterton should probably hate cars. From his hail-damaged Camira that looked like it had spent a hard life parked at the end of Tiger Woods' personal driving range, to the Nissan Pulsar Reebok that shook like it was possessed by a particularly mean-spirited demon every time he dared push past 40km/h, his personal car history isn't exactly littered with gold.
But that seemingly endless procession of rust-savaged hate machines taught him something even more important; that cars are more than a collection of nuts, bolts and petrol. They're your ticket to freedom, a way to unlock incredible experiences, rolling invitations to incredible adventures. They have soul.
And so, somehow, the car bug still bit. And it bit hard.
When "Chesto" started his journalism career with News Ltd's Sunday and Daily Telegraph newspapers, he covered just about everything, from business to real estate, courts to crime, before settling into state political reporting at NSW Parliament House.
But the automotive world's siren song soon sounded again, and he begged anyone who would listen for the opportunity to write about cars. Eventually they listened, and his career since has seen him filing car news, reviews and features for TopGear, Wheels, Motor and, of course, CarsGuide, as well as many, many others.
More than a decade later, and the car bug is yet to relinquish its toothy grip. And if you ask Chesto, he thinks it never will.
