Just Car Insurance Excited About Appearance of Aventador in The Dark Knight Rises

In July 2012 the Aventador - meaning Spanish bull with courage - will star in Christopher Nolan's last Batman The Dark Knight Rises

2012-07-19

NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA, July 19, 2012 (Press-News.org) The highly anticipated release of Lamborghini's next supercar - the Aventador - weakened the knees of car critics and auto fanatics last year when it was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. With all the technological advances inherited from previous vehicle releases, combined with the stealth of a 7-speed automated manual, V12 6.5 litre, 694 horsepower engine, the Italian car giant had already received 18 months worth of car production in the initial phases of vehicle debut.

The Motor Report called it a 'hero' car, and it's obvious how it won the title. In July 2012 the Aventador - meaning Spanish bull with courage - will star in Christopher Nolan's latest Batman The Dark Knight Rises, with Australia premiering the movie feature one day before the rest of the world. The 'ferociously quick' supercar will make an appearance as Bruce Wayne's day time mode of transport, rumoured to be sporting the grey model of the LP700-4 range.

When asked about the appearance of the Lamborghini supercar in the Batman film, Just Car Insurance spokesperson Mark Behr commented "The new Aventador would be at the top of the wish list for many car lovers, especially those with an interest in high performance vehicles."

The LP700-4 clocks in at 349kms p/hr, with a 0-60 time of 2.9 seconds. It retails in Europe for EUR255,000, between GBP201,900 - GBP248,000 in the UK, and $379,700 in the U.S. One of the mentioned highlights of the LP700-4 is the start button ignition, positioned confidently amongst a hexagon-themed dash and LCD dash panel.

The carbon-fibre shell of the Lamborghini supercar has been likened to the structuring of a Formula One vehicle with its push-rod suspension, but with lighter features. The engine is manufactured from an aluminium-silicon alloy, which makes it considerably lighter for bonnet faculty, married with a similar weight-saving decision to not build with a dual-clutch.

For those not lucky enough to drive the real thing, what Top Gear describes as the closest thing to a ride in a stealth fighting jet - there will be opportunity to view the LP700-4 on cinema screens when The Dark Knight Rises is released Australia-wide on July 19, 2012.

You can't always get what you want: Consumers struggle with competing goals

2012-07-18

Consumers change their minds often when making choices that involve conflicting goals, according to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research.

Selling on eBay? Get higher bids with a red background

Imagine that you are in New York today and will be in a different city in one month. ...

Controlling uncertainty: Why do consumers need to believe in certain service providers?

2012-07-18

Consumers evaluate services and make decisions based on the level of uncertainty associated with a product—the greater the uncertainty, the more likely it is they will need to have faith in a company and focus on its unique offerings, according to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research. "Some services can be evaluated with actual experience, whereas other services are difficult to evaluate even with experience—they have to be taken on faith. Services taken on faith are more difficult to evaluate, and are usually perceived to have greater uncertainty and higher ...
