With the Geneva show just around the corner, it seems that Lamborghini has secretly released a new video of its Murcielago supercar replacement, which is expected to be called Aventador or Jota LP700-4 and will bow at the Geneva Salon next March. Although we didn’t find any official information on the footage, the quality of the clip and the fact that it contains interior shots gives it a

AutoLeaks: Lamborghini LP700 Murcielago Successor Dealer Order Guide Reveals Specs
*Update: Lamborghini via its VW Group parent company requested the removal of the photographic material from the leaked brochure. For those of you that missed out, simply Google the words "Lamborghini Order Guide"
This has been a good week for Lamborghini fans. After we saw a lightly camouflaged prototype of the Murcielago’s successor a couple of days ago, the official dealer order guide of the upcoming Italian supercar made its way onto the internet via the Teamspeed forums.
As expected, engine specs remained unchanged, but the guide does reveal plenty of new information. First, let’s get the performance figures out of the way. Tipping the scales at 1.575 kg (3.472 lbs), the LP700-4 is a whopping 230 kg (507 lbs) lighter than a Murcielago LP640-4 coupe and has 60 more ponies. So, not surprisingly, it can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 2.9 seconds or half a second quicker than the outgoing model. It also has a higher top speed, reaching 350 km/h (217 mph), compared to the LP640’s 340 km/h (211 mph).
Stopping power comes from 400 mm 6-caliper front and 380 mm 4-caliper rear discs. And what about the wheels? Well, the LP700-4 comes with standard 19-inch alloys up front and 20-inch sets at the back, shod in 255/35 and 335/30 tires respectively.
The automaker said before that the robotized ISR (Independent Shifting Rod) gearbox is fast, but didn’t disclose any numbers. Now we know that as well: the seven-speed ‘box needs just 50 milliseconds to change a gear, which is inconceivably fast.
At launch, buyers will be able to chose from 13 exterior paint jobs, two of which are brand new (Argos Orange and Estoque Grey), and 12 interior colors. The standard equipment list includes -among other things, that is- electronically controlled rear spoiler and side air intakes, multimedia system with 7-inch screen, navigation, xenon lights and air conditioning.

New Photos of the Lamborghini Murcielago Replacement Surface on Facebook
Late yesterday afternoon, photos of the Lamborghini Murcielago replacement surfaced on Facebook and were thought to be new spy shots of the upcoming Italian supercar. Eventually, word got out that the pictures were taken at an official Lamborghini event, attended by a few lucky journalists.
Unlike the real spy photos we published in October, the camouflage on this prototype is just a thin layer of tape. As well as revealing the orange paintwork, the lesser cameo also unveils many design cues. The new range-topping Lambo’s shape has been clearly inspired by the limited edition Reventon.
The front of the car bears the most evident resemblance to the Reventon due to the "edgy" styling of the bumper. The lines of the body are more aggressive compared to the Murcielago, which defines the silhouette better. We have no idea how big the new car is, but the way designers played with lines, curves and sharp edges, makes it look even sleeker than Lambo's outgoing supercar
Many things could change until we’ll see the production version, but, from what we’ve seen up until now, the new supercar, dubbed by some Jota, while others bet their money on the Aventador nameplate, seems to be a looker. Throw in an awesome 700 hp 6.5-liter V12 and you’ve got a winner.

VIDEO: 2012 Lamborghini Jota / Murcielago Spied Screaming Around the Nurburgring
Earlier this week, we showed you a batch of spy photos of next year's Lamborghini Murcielago replacement that may or may not be called Jota, as some sources suggest. Today, we bring you one of the first videos of a prototype model being driven on and around the hallowed Nordschleife race track - and yes, that's a Porsche 911 taking a shot at it from behind.
You can read the full story and check out the scoop gallery in our previous post here, but as a refresher, Sant'Agata's new range-topper is said to benefit from a more powerful V12 engine as well as a lightweight composite construction. The Italian supercar is expected to make its world premiere at the 2011 Geneva Salon next March.

Lamborghini's Geneva-bound Murcielago Successor Spied
Here are some spy pics of the Murcielago's lighter successor getting ready to do some track time at the Nürburgring. Whether or not it'll be called the Jota is yet to be properly established, but it won't be long before we find out as the new majority-composite Lambo flagship is pegged to make its world debut at next year's Geneva Salon.
Could the Murcielago/Jota seen here be powered by something other than a mid-mounted V12? Not likely. Instead, we should see direct injection involved to improve efficiency and create upwards of the Murcielago SV's 670 horsepower.
The front will maintain the edgy lines found on all the most recent Lamborghinis, while the rear will get wide, black mesh intakes and a wide-mouth center exhaust tip.
"Razorback" glass slats above the engine are possible, and for now the doors are still a mystery. While the V12 is guaranteed, there have been rumors that Lamborghini may kill the scissor doors for more conventional units. If they do, they had better form a bull's horns when opened like the Miura's units.
CEO Stephan Winkelmann knows Lamborghinis can occasionally be impulse buys, so keeping mum on future model info could hurt sales to those consumers who need to have the first of everything. In an interview with Car magazine earlier this year, Winkelmann said: "We never talk about the future. The point is, we sell emotions. If we talk about what might happen, they might wait. And that's not good."
