In today’s economy, AU$1.0 will get you US$1.06, but it seems Australia’s overseas automakers have yet to acknowledge this. A Lamborghini Aventador, for example, costs a hefty AU$754,600 – or more than twice the price you would pay for one in the U.S. of A. And its 51% pricier than a V12 powered Lamborghini Diablo was ten years ago. This was tolerable when the Aussie dollar was worth 64 U.S. cents a few years ago, but those days are over.

While TV’s, computers and mobile phones have all become more affordable, supercars have not. It’s so bad that one prospective Lamborghini buyer, businessman Ra Hazouri, has flat out refused to pay.

Whether you consider yourself a car aficionado or not, you've more than likely heard of the famous Italian car maker Lamborghini. The tractor maker that got mad at Enzo Ferrari and decided he had enough of Ferrari unreliability and decided to start his own car company. You've also most likely heard of the Murcielago supercar and have seen plenty of pictures in magazines and in a lot of rap videos.The Murcielago has been the most successful Lamborghini to date with unbelievable performance, power, driving dynamics and a beautiful design. Because of these attributes, the Murcielago has seen great success in the sales department and has helped Lamborghini with massive cash-flow, which in turn has been used to develop other cars, namely the Gallardo.As great as the Murcielago is, it has been around for almost a decade and it needs a replacement. There has been much speculation about what car is going to be replacing the aging Murcielago. Most auto journalist had thought the new supercar from Italy will be called the "Jota" or it will have a numerical name "LP700-4". However, recent documents obtained from the United States trademark office reveal that Lamborghini has trademarked the name "Aventador", which is most likely the name of their latest supercar, which will either be revealed at the Los Angeles auto show in late 2010 or early 2011 at one of the many European auto shows. It is quite possible that the new supercar will be named Aventador because of its Spanish origins, for those not familiar with how Lamborghini names their cars, they use names of famous Spanish bulls for their cars and Aventador is a famous bull that is also known as the "bull of the sons of Don Celestino Cuadri Vides".

Given that customers in China and other emerging markets such as Russia, India and Brazil, have a taste for four-door sports saloons, the possibility of Lamborghini producing the Estoque seems very likely.Lamborghini's sales peaked in 2008 at 2,430 units, but in 2010 sales declined to 1,302 units, with the company expecting to sell around 1,500 cars this year, helped by the launch of its new Aventador LP 700-4 supercar.

You may remember the international media launch of the Lamborghini Aventador held last month in Rome. There were so many videos coming from Italy's capital that we didn’t know where to start from. And guess what? It ain’t over yet as we have one more video, one far more interesting. Among the many events related to the Aventador launch there was also a display inside the “Chiostro del Bramante”, a contemporary art museum located in the historical center of Rome.

Entitled “La Forza del Toro” (Italian for “The Force of the Bull”), the exhibition consisted of a Lamborghini Aventador and five V12 engines from different periods of time. Nothing out of the ordinary so far, except the fact that builders of the 16th century building erected it without anticipating that a 2.03-meter wide, 4.78-meter long supercar would one day have to come inside…
