Unfortunately, the three clips are quite short – up to 12 seconds each, but at least we get a taste of the 700-horsepower V12 engine’s sounds. Watch them after the jump.

For those of you wondering what the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 caught on video last week was doing in Berlin, Germany, it turns out the Italian supercar was the star attraction at the opening of a new flagship boutique dedicated exclusively to the assortment of "Collezione Automobili Lamborghini".
Being an Italian company and all, you’d expect Lamborghini to launch its first Fashion Store in Europe somewhere in Italy, but the firm’s German bosses decided otherwise choosing Berlin. “This confirms the role of Berlin as the capital of fashion and lifestyle, with extraordinary vitality and attractiveness for all of Europe," said Sandra Salameh, CEO of LFS Luxury Fashion Store Berlin GmbH.

They are two of the most hotly anticipated and talked about cars at this week's 2011 Geneva International Motor Show. We're talking of course about the Ferrari's first ever four-wheel drive model, the FF, and Lamborghini's replacement for the Murcielago, the Aventador LP700-4.
Though catering to different tastes and needs, these two supercars have something in common, and we're not referring to their Italian roots nor their twelve-cylinder powerplants, but to the fact that both are sold out for their first year of production even before they arrive in showrooms across the world.
For those of you that still haven't had enough of the Lamborghini's newest dream car, here's a comprehensive photo gallery and a video presentation of the Aventador LP700-4 straight from the Geneva Motor Show floors.
After nearly a decade of running amok in the land of hypercars, Lamborghini's Murcielago is being retired. In its place will be the Aventador, a 700-hp devil providing a whole new generation with automotive wall art and high-speed screams.
The Aventador LP 700-4, Lambo's newest top dog, hopes to build on the glorious excess of its predecessor. Fusing design cues found in the Reventón and Sesto Elemento, the Lamborghini Aventador has much in common with past Lamborghini flagships: it is named after a famous bull, packs a V12 warp drive, allows entry through a pair of scissor doors, and makes no sense as a daily driver.
It has also picked up the Murcielago's electronic air intakes due to their functionality and downright awesomeness. Broad details, however, are where the similarities stop.
