Fri, 18 Nov 2011 14:20:03 +0100 (Reuters) - The new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 is pictured during the second media day of the 81st Geneva Motor Show at the Palexpo in Geneva in this March 2, 2011 file photo. Beneath the high ceilings of a factory in the wheat fields of Emilia-Romagna in northern Italy, Lamborghini engineers are building a new supercar. Called the Aventador, it has been described as the closest thing to a stealth fighter jet you'll see on the road. It is also a high-profile symbol of a strategic battle taking shape in the auto industry. Silhouetted against grey walls, workers in black polo shirts adorned with Lamborghini's gold raging bull logo guide sheets of black material into a vacuum-controlled cutting machine, before pressing and shaping the pieces into huge moulds. These parts will make the chassis of the Aventador, which is one of the first cars to have its entire body built of carbon fibre composites, an alternative to metals prized by plane makers for their lightweight malleability.
