  • Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 live photos

    From the very first time the designer puts his or her pencil to paper, right up until the car is taken for its maiden journey outside the factory, the creation of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 is a process of endless quality, bespoke craftsmanship and faultless engineering.

Red, or Rosso Corsa to be more specific, has been used to identify Italian cars and drivers since the very earliest days of motorsports. After sponsor-inspired liveries were introduced to Formula 1 in the 1960s, Ferrari remained the only constructor to stick with...
