Do you know what this name ‘Aventador’ means? It’s the famous 1,000 pounds Spanish bull that fought in and was named one of the bravest bulls in Plaza de Toros de Zaragoza. Well, that’s going to be history, but now there’s a new ‘Aventador’ apparently coming as soon as next week, and it’s going to be mighty strong, but not in the dusty rings, but on tarmac rings. Yes, it’s the name of the next flagship for Lamborghini, and the successor of the Murcielago. And here’s the leaked photo of it from a magazine cover.

This time, from the pages of Evo Magazine Croatia a photo has found its way to the internet. Just a few hours after Lamborghini revealed photos of the naked rolling chassis we have this clear top front view of the LP700-4 Aventador super sports car – skin intact, unlike previously when we saw it wearing some camouflage clothes.

Ironically, Lamborghini is showing us the full rolling chassis – sans bodywork or interior (save for one seat) but with just about everything else fitted – which it unveiled at an Audi TechDay event. Previously Sant’Agata has shown us the engine and gearbox, the suspension and the monocoque frame, not to mention the myriad spy shots of camouflaged test mules romping around, making us go a little wild in our imagination.

Just in case you haven’t already memorized its vital statistics, the LP700-4 Aventador is powered by a 6.5-liter V12 engine that produces 700 PS (690 bhp / 515 kW) and 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) of torque. It is connected to a Graziano ISR 7-speed automatic (single clutch with dual sychronizers) transmission and a Haldex all-wheel drive system that enables the supercar to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and hit a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph).

It has a full carbon fiber monocoque or passenger cell that weighs just 147.5 kilograms (324.5 lbs), while the whole body-in-white tips the scales at 229.5 kilograms (505 lbs). This body structure enables a torsional rigidity measurement of 35,000 Newton meters per degree of twist. This new bull will be the most talked about bull in the next few years.
