Lamborghini Launches Aventador Pirelli Edition To Celebrate Tire Smoke

Pirelli has been Lamborghini's sole tire supplier since its establishment in 1963, so it was about time they got their special edition as well. The resulting two-tone Aventador Pirelli will be available both as a roadster and as a coupe.

Do you remember the first special edition Gallardo, the SE from 2008? Well, the Pirelli Aventador is a bit like that. You get two options here.

The first combination consists of a matte black roof, mirrors, pillars, engine cover and air intakes with a glossy finish for the rest with six colors to choose from. The other is the opposite, with a glossy top and one of four matte colors for the remaining bits.

You also get a thin red stripe running along the roof, the hood, the mirrors and the outer profiles of the intakes while a red Pirelli logo is visible at the start of the two roof lines and on the tires just like on a Veneno.

The standard package also includes the transparent engine cover, the carbon engine compartment, glossy black 20"/21" wheels and red brake calipers, or yellow in case you went with a Rosso Mars exterior.

The black/red theme continues in the cabin as well with red stripes running around the sea of Alcantara you jump into.

Personally, I would also like to say thanks to Pirelli for their achievements before the Lambo years, like hooking up with Fiat and Bianchi in 1955 to create Autobianchi, a brand that made my great little car three decades later.
