The Lamborghini Aventador was unveiled in early 2011 and replaced the Murcielago as the company's range-topping supercar. Its styling is inspired by the limited-edition Reventon and the Estoque concept car, while motivation is provided by Lamborghini's second V-12 engine design in 50 years. Like its predecessor, the Aventador spawned Roadster and higher-performance SuperVeloce versions, with the latter gaining a drop-top variant of its own. The supercar was also used as a base for the Aventador J concept and the Veneno, a limited-edition model that stands out for its outlandish design and ludicrous price tag. Come 2016 and a camouflaged Aventador test car reveals that Lamborghini is working on the supercar's mid-cycle facelift. The update will arrive some six years into the Aventador's career, which could suggest that Lamborghini is planning to keep the supercar in showrooms until at least 2020. That would be longer than the Murcielago, which was discontinued after nine years on the market.
