New Lamborghini Aventador J Video Hits the Airwaves

The most hardnosed Lamborghini in the company's history is also the rarest as only one will be made and sold to a very lucky buyer who will have to write a €2.1 million (US$2.77 million) cheque to the VW Group-owned automaker to the speedster model to his or her collection.

Following the world premiere of the Aventador J at the Geneva Motor Show this week, Lamborghini has released another video of the V12 powered model called "The Making of" which you can enjoy right after the break.

Lamborghini's €2.1 Million Aventador J Speedster in the Flesh and on Film

Having the company’s CEO Stephan Winkelmann drive the open-top Aventador J onto the stage at Lamborghini’s official launch in front of the press at the 82nd Geneva Motor Show is a good way to make an impression.

Winkelmann opened the speedster's scissor door, stepped out and greeted his audience before introducing Lambo’s extreme open-top model of which only one will be produced.

He started by saying that even though the Sant’ Agata’s portfolio comprises only two models, the Aventador and the Gallardo, this does not stop the supercar maker from launching special models like the Reventon and the Sesto Elemento.

It’s the weekend before the 2012 Geneva Motor Show and as such, some presentations are to be expected but the reveal we're about to tell you, wasn't planned for today, at least not officially.

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Crashes During Test, Captured on Camera!

Many things can go wrong during a test, especially if it involves a highly powerful supercar like the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, which is why automotive engineers select remote places like the Arctic Circle.

However, being that our spies travel to all four corners of the world with the goal of capturing a future model on film, there is always the slim possibility that they'll be on hand when something goes wrong. It's usually a one in a million shot, but stranger things have happened.

Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder and Wet Roads Don't Mix…

While a nice quiet back road with some twist and turns is ideal for those that want to enjoy their car, if rain makes its presence and always depending on the driver and the type of vehicle, the ride can become more of a hassle, if not something even worse, than a pleasure.

This was the case for one of the drivers in a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder that attended a so-called "dream car tour" in New York when a bad storm hit the area.

We don't know the exact causes of the accident, but the Gallardo Spyder ended flipping over a ditch. The Italian supercar was completely destroyed.

YouTube user Jason Thorgalsen captured the aftermath of the incident when the tow truck crew was trying to get the Lamborghini up on the road on video. His description of the incident, which fortunately didn't result to any deaths, follows below:
