Has the successor to the Lamborghini Aventador been leaked?

Two images have leaked of what could be the successor to the Lamborghini Aventador via Instagram. The new mid-engined supercar from Lamborghini has been spotted during performance testing over recent months, but always under camouflage, which has given us an idea of what the model will look like. Now, with these new leaks, if they turn out to be real, they offer us a first look at the design of the new Aventador.

These images were shared for the first time through the Automotive_mike Instagram profile and Cochespias. The truth is that they are not actually photographs of the supercar; they appear to be convincing CGI images, possibly taken from a car brochure or a configurator.

The front of the new model is significantly different from that of the current Aventador. The most striking design detail is the side LED daytime running lights in a Y shape, first presented on the Lamborghini Terzo Millennio concept unveiled in 2017. The new Lamborghini features relatively small but aggressive headlights. Other notable aspects include the angular front air intakes and the rear end, which has many sharp surfaces and creases.

Everything you need to know about the new Lamborghini Aventador

What makes the car stand out even more are the huge side air intakes with horizontal slats and, on this particular model, a set of five-spoke wheels. The rear is also a dramatic evolution of the Aventador. The Y-shaped LED taillights mimic the design of the front DRLs. The exhausts exit between the taillights, leaving room for Lamborghini to design a pronounced diffuser. An engine cover is also present, providing an unobstructed view of the V12.

The technical specifications of the Aventador successor have not been confirmed. What we do know is that it will feature a naturally aspirated V12 working together with a hybrid system. It should offer at least more than 850 CV, surpassing models such as the Ferrari 296 GTB and going head to head with the Ferrari SF90 Stradale.
