Lamborghini launches Aventador LP700 in India at Rs 3.69 crore

India is certainly making their presence felt at every segment of the market – here we are talking about the Automobile Market. With all international automobile companies eyeing India as one of the hot selling markets, Italian luxury sports car-maker Automobili Lamborghini SpA on Thursday launched its latest model, the 'Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4', priced at Rs 3.69 crore (ex-showroom, Delhi), in the country.

 "India is an emerging market for sports cars, which is evident from the successful Formula 1 race event. We have already received 20 bookings for the Aventador," Automobili Lamborghini SpA Marketing Manager, South-East Asia and Pacific, James Page said.

The Murcielago replacement is Lamborghini’s most powerful offering yet and boasts of a 6.5-litre V12 motor which belts out 700ps (691bhp). All that power is transmitted to all four wheels via a seven-speed transmission. The Aventador uses new-generation reinforced carbon fiber which has been developed with help from Boeing Aerospace. As a result the Aventador weighs just 1578kg, which is lighter than the Murcielago by about 100kg. The Aventador can give a top speed of up to 350 km per hour.


As we shared the news earlier of its Global launch here at Car Adda in March this year at Geneva Motor Show, this supercar has now arrived in India and during its India launch Page said, “The car was launched globally in March this year and so far, we have received 1,500 orders worldwide. In India, people have to wait for about 18 months to get the delivery of their car”.

Indian customers eyeing this supercar can also start thinking of taking an owner-training programme being conducted by Lamboghini at the Buddh International Circuit, Indian F1 track.
