The Aventador J


 The Lamborghini Aventador J


           The Aventador is what Lamborghini comes up with when they're bored. The Aventador is their newest product. Surprisingly the Aventador is still street legal. It has a 6.5 liter V-12 that produces 700 HP and can reach speeds of up to 186 MPH with ease. When Lamborghini set out to test the Aventador the driver maxed out the engine at a speed of 206 MPH  The Aventador may look high tech and futuristic from the out side but on the inside it looks like just another Lamborghini with out the access luxuries. Lamborghini decided to get rid of radio CD player, navigation system, and air conditioning. They decided to get rid of all of these to lower the weight of the car. They also created a carbon fiber body.

Gallardo LP 560-4


Lamborghini Gallardo


Lamborghini started making the Gallardo after they decided they needed to step it up after Ferrari made the 2003 GTO. The Gallardo first came into production in 2005 and are still being made today. The Gallardo is the most common Lamborghini out today since there is such a surplus of them unlike the Reventon and Murcialago. The Gallardo cost $250,000. Doesn't seem like alto compared to other Lamborghini but it still cost as much as a descent house. The Gallardo has a 6 speed manual paddle shift transition. With a 5.2 liter V-10 producing 560 HP and letting the Gallardo reach its top speed of 202 MPH in only 11.8 seconds. The V-10 lets it go from 0-60 MPH in 3.7 seconds.

70 GTO

Pontiac 70 GTO


The GTO has a 455 big block in it that has 350 HP and can reach speeds of 119 MPH. In previous versions of the GTO Pontiac decided to hide the head lights for a slick clean look. When the 70 came around they decided to ditch that idea and make an american muscle car. The only problem with the GTO was the engine tend to over heat fast so Pontiac decided to install a thermometer that told the driver how hot the 455 was exactly. They decided to place this thermometer on the hood right in front of the driver seat.
