Lamborghini has announced its collaboration with Italian tyre manufacturer Pirelli.
The Aventador Pirelli Edition, available in Coupe and Roadster versions, will be produced in a special series and is available to order now from dealers, for delivery by mid-2015.
The supercar maintains all its technical features, the carbonfibre monocoque, the V12 engine, pushrod suspensions and the permanent all-wheel drive. The special Pirelli series is enhanced by exclusive equipment specifically designed by the Lamborghini Centro Stile.
The exterior sports a two-tone colour scheme in two options. The first is matte black for the roof, pillars, rearview mirrors, engine hood and front, rear, side and moving air intakes, in contrast with six glossy finishes for the rest of the body.
The second option is glossy black for the upper parts of the car and the air intakes, in contrast with four matte finishes for the rest of the exterior.
Another distinctive element of the body is a thin red stripe that runs along the roof and engine hood, rearview mirrors and outer profiles of the air intakes. The red-coloured Pirelli logo is visible at the start of the two roof lines and on the tyres.
Standard equipment for the exterior also includes the transparent engine hood, engine compartment in carbon, glossy black 20- or 21-inch wheels, P Zero tyres with red logo and red calipers (yellow only in the case of the Rosso Mars exterior).
The interiors of the Aventador Pirelli Edition are upholstered with black Alcantara with red contrast stitching. The red stripe on the body is also repeated on the inside, running along the interior ceiling and the seats.
The powertrain provides 700hp and is combined with the ISR automatic transmission to enable top-level performance for the Pirelli model: 0-100kph acceleration in 2.9 seconds and top speed of 350kph.
The collaboration between Lamborghini and Pirelli dates back to 1963, the year in which Ferruccio Lamborghini turned to Pirelli to supply the tires for the first car of his automotive company: the 350 GTV.
