A brief history of the 'Le Mans-style' start

The famous ‘Le Mans start’ Since the race’s inaugural meeting in 1923, tradition dictated a standing start. This later became known as a ‘Le Mans start’, and involved drivers lining their cars up along the pit wall in the order they qualified in. Racers would then have to stand on the opposite side of the track, and when the French Tricolor flag dropped the drivers would have to sprint to their cars, strap themselves in and begin racing.

Lamborghini Aventador sells 2000 in just 2 years

Now we learn from Sant’Agata that the Avenatador didn’t just sell well in its first fifteen months, but that it’s continued to power forward since witrh sales of 2,000 in the first two years of production – a figure it took the Murcialago over four years to achieve. The 2000th Aventador – a regular LP700-4 Coupe – is heading for AT&T exec Thaddeus Arroyo who will take delivery of his new car shortly, finished in Nero Nemesis black, and be able to stretch its 6.5 litre V12 sufficiently to get to 62mph in just 2.9 seconds and on to 217mph, performance figures that match hypercars costing two and three times as much.
