Co-operation between Lamborghini and Pirelli dates back to the year, when Ferruccio Lamborghini turned to Pirelli to supply the tyres for the first car of his newly established automotive company: the 350 GTV. Since then all Lamborghini cars have been equipped with Pirelli tyres. Today, more than 50 years later, Lamborghini has announced production of an exclusive new special series, the Aventador LP700-4 Pirelli Edition, created to celebrate the long and on-going history of co-operation with prestigious Italian tyre manufacturer Pirelli.
The new Aventador Pirelli Edition, available in Coupé and Roadster versions, is produced in a special series and is available to order now from dealers, for delivery early summer 2015. The supersport car maintains all its unique technical features, first and foremost the carbon fibre monocoque, the V12 engine, pushrod suspension and the permanent all-wheel drive, which underlie the Aventador’s global success. The special Pirelli series is enhanced by exclusive equipment specifically designed by the Lamborghini Centro Stile.
Distinctive features of the body are a thin red stripe that runs along the roof and the engine hood, the rear-view mirrors and the outer profiles of the air intakes, a stylistic element designed to evoke the unmistakable Pirelli branding. A Pirelli logo, once again in red, is visible at the start of the two roof lines as well as on the tyres. A plaque reading “Pirelli special series” is also fitted inside each car to underline the exclusiveness of the series.
