Lamborghini, the iconic super car brand from Italy has been doing its homework all right. If we thought Lamborghini was basking in the glory of its Murcielago and Reventon models, than we in for a pleasant surprise. Lamborghini has just come out with its new Jota.

The new Lamborghini Jota will be the official successor for the legendary Murcielago, which is the current top model. We got some spy pics of the Jota being tested on a VAG test track in Scandinavia. This Jota seems to be a perfect super car in the making. The car has done a lot of test laps at high speeds and driven at a low temperature of -25 ° C, which means that the customer can play in the snow with his new toy the Jota.

In size the successor does not differ much from the current model, we’ll see larger air intakes along the side. We find a front bumper in the same style as the Lamborghini Estoque. Once more pictures we will emerge a better idea, but as we see now we get an overall innovative design as some it would want.

But don’t expect Lamborghini to stick to the current motors for the Jota as we hear that even though the famous six-liter V12 engine chunk was still on standby, this beast could generate about 700 bhp. Wow, that’s a one bit of a power house for the Jota. The Lamborghini Murcielago SV LP670-4 which currently in the market is powerful but the Lambo engineers see more potential to reaped out of this engine.

The weight reduction is the “in-thing” and almost every car maker is banking on it. The Lamborghini Jota will get a new Aluminium Space Frame which means that the door panels are made of extra light material such as carbon. Swedish specialists Haldex have developed an entirely new system that goes in line with the existing Lamborghini’s all-wheel drive.

Well, don’t expect for the good guys in Lamborghini to launch or unveil the Jota this year as they have already launched the SV LP560-4 and it does not make any sense to mar its sales. But come this 2011, we would have a new Lamborghini to report on in the Lamborghini Jota.
