After the Lamborghini Aventador debuted to much glitter at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, attention has turned once again to the models possibly to appear in a future Lamborghini line-up. These are purely rumours at this stage, so we’ll take them as such to avoid disappoint.

According to the Team Speed forum the following Lamborghini product plan will happen:

2011: Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 and Gallardo LP550-2 Spyder
2012: Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster and top-ranging Lamborghini Sesto Elemento
2013: the new Lamborghini Gallardo, currently called the Cabrera (pure speculation here, too)

The next three years that follow will be busy as well with an onslaught of:

All sorts of goodies are coming from Lamborghini, starting with the Murcielago subsitute. The name was widely believed to be the Jota but it turns out that it will most probably be called the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4. The name was revealed in the Murcielago replacement presentation held at Sant’Agata recently, away from the prying ears of journalists.

The presentation took place with some faithful Lamborghini clients present and the name choice has fallen to that of a famous breed of fighting bulls. The Aventador is reported to be a stylistic evolution on the Gallardo, with some elements from the Reventon supercar concept, as well.

It will have a 6.5-litre V12 engine with 700 hp, all-wheel drive and a seven-speed sequential gearbox. It will have a monocoque carbon chassis, reducing weight by about 230 kg with torsional rigidity up by about 70 percent. The performance figures sound very curious: 0-100 in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 350 km/hr. More after the jump.

Here are two spy videos of the Lamborghini Jota testing at the Nurburgring track. The Murcielago replacement will continue Lamborghini’s new direction in reducing weight, with rumours indicating we could see it tip the scales at just 1,500 kg. The Jota is likely to appear with a 7.0-litre V12 with up to 700 hp, although some say it could go beyond that, and it should also have four-wheel-drive. The new Lambo should appear at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show in March and might have design features reflecting the angular Reventon and Estoque models. Second video after the jump.

Here’s the final 2010 Paris Motor Show teaser pic from Lamborghini as it prepares what we expect will be a Lamborghini carbon fibre concept for the show. It looks like the rumours of two Lambo supercars at the show might not come to fruition, meaning we’ll see a tech concept and no Lamborghini Jota.

From the teaser pics and the supercar manifesto released earlier, we know Lamborghini will be bringing a carbon fibre concept along as a minimum, although what production plans for future carbon-fibre based models the company has is anyone’s guess. We’d like to see a McLaren MP4-12C competitor from Lamborghini because while they’ll always have their exotic status, they might not be able to keep up with technical developments unless they start investing in some serious driving-oriented features. All will be revealed in the next few days.

Updated: Lamborghini has one more teaser pic which we’ll be bringing you soon.

Well, thank heavens the 2010 Paris Motor Show is just around the corner because all these Lamborghini Jota and carbon fibre rumours are getting us frustrated. We might no longer be seeing two new models at the show - one Jota and one mysterious 83X, but rather one Lamborghini carbon fibre model.

That makes sense given the teaser shots we’ve seen so far but it belies any of the references to dealership events and secret revelations we’ve heard so far. You’d think we’d all just entered a weird supercar cult so the most we can go on now are these mega-close-up teaser shots. Bring on Paris, we say.

Here’s the third Lamborghini teaser shot for the 2010 Paris Motor Show and it’s clear that at least this mini teaser campaign is all abut carbon fibre. The third installment offers no further information on the Paris show ’surprise’ and there will be a fourth episode before whatever is revealed at the show is….revealed.

There hasn’t been any more light shed on whether Lamborghini will present two models, one of which would be the Lamborghini Jota and the other the mysterious 83X model. Apparently a special dealership event later this week could give us some more information, otherwise we’ll be waiting until Paris.

Juicy rumours from the internet indicate we could be seeing two new Lamborghini supercars at the 2010 Paris Motor Show and not just the one carbon fibre, supersports car manifesto previously thought. According to reports, what’s known as the Lamborghini Jota (codenamed LB715-5) will be presented, which is a new V12 model to replace the Murcielago.

It will apparently appear alongside something at this stage internally called the Lamborghini 83X which is a total mystery at this stage. The rumours have emerged after invitations to a special dealers event were issued, where the new carbon fibre Jota will most probably be presented. As we already mentioned, the McLaren competition on the carbon front may have galvanised Lamborghini into investing in this technology, and this new model apparently has a carbonfibre tub similar to that of the MP4-12C and made by the same manufacturer, Carbo Tech.

The teaser shots that Lamborghini has been releasing would indicate the Jota carbonfibre project, so the other mystery model is currently open to the wildest speculation. Apparently both the new models will be revealed at the dealers event on September 23rd, which is a full week before the Paris show opens to the press. So we’ll be waiting for exclusive spy shots and speculation to appear on the web later this week.
