Lamborghini Aventador Pirelli Edition.

Lamborghini has taken the cover off a special Pirelli Edition Aventador. The limited edition car has been produced to celebrate the Italian carmaker’s "long and ongoing" partnership with tyre manufacturer, Pirelli.

The Lamborghini Aventador Pirelli Edition comes with a special two-tone paintjob, a painted stripe running the entire length of the car and a stand-out Pirelli logo. It comes with a transparent engine cover, new carbonfibre and leather cabin trim, Pirelli P Zero tyres and new 20 and 21-inch alloy wheels. The cabin gets a special Pirelli inscription too.

Mechanically, the Aventador Pirelli Edition is identical to the standard car. It gets powered by the 691bhp V12 engine, which is capable enough of taking the Aventador from 0-100kph in 2.9 seconds, while reaching a topspeed of 350kph.

Lamborghini and Pirelli have been working together since Lamborghini's formation in 1963. Every Lamborghini since, has been provided with Pirelli tyres.

The Aventador LP 700-4 Pirelli Edition has been made available in global markets, in both coupé and roadster forms. Pricing has not been confirmed yet.
