Baltimore Grand Prix (Part 1): Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 revealed
We recently had the opportunity to attend the inaugural Baltimore Grand Prix, which was held in the heart of downtown Baltimore, MD. This was a grand event for the city and crowds gathered by the thousands to partake in this downtown festival of racing – and of course, it was all about the cars…yes, the CARS.
Well, what better place to reveal the latest Lamborghini to the general public than at the Baltimore Grand Prix!
As previously discussed in prior posts regarding the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, this is a car of which we just can’t get enough! Fortunately, we got our wish for more, as we had the opportunity to see the Aventador up close at the Baltimore Grand Prix. This particular Aventador had a gloss black exterior with a black interior, black wheels, and orange brake calipers. All we could say was “Wow!”. It looked like something straight out of a movie, something The Batman himself would drive in the darkest of nights in the great city of Gotham. In fact, we’ve already heard rumors that in the latest movie in the Batman series (which is currently being filmed), the Aventador will be a featured car…and why wouldn’t it!
Keeping in line with the philosophy of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A., this car is definitely Italian. It is certainly uncompromising. And it is without a doubt extreme.
The characteristic angular/edgy Lamborghini lines are there. The signature scissor doors are there. The heart of the car – the beastly V12 engine – is definitely there. And the crowd-gathering ability of this car is undeniably there!
Sitting in the driver’s seat, one can’t help but feel like a fighter pilot readying for the next clandestine flight. The interior cabin feels comfortable, yet purposeful…just as The Batman would design it!
An interesting observation we had: While the Aventador is larger than its predecessor, the Murcielago/LP640, for some reason it does not seem as bulky. It does have lines reminiscent of the smaller Gallardo…maybe that has something to do with it?…or maybe it is so advanced, it has the ability to play tricks on your mind? 😉
We think black is one of the best colors for this car, but we’ll let you decide:
In summary, the Aventador is a great-looking and great-sounding car. A car truly fit for the caped crusader in all of us. 😉
