The Lamborghini Jota will replace the Murcielago as the Italian supercarmaker’s flagship model in the next few years. Lamboghini hasn’t released any details about the Jota yet, but according to Jalopnik’s source, saving weight is a priority for the next big bull.

According to Jalopnik, Lamborghini will be taking advantage of its new parent company Volkswagen’s experience building cars using aluminum rather than steel. The Murcielago uses steel for its frame and roof, so if the Jota uses aluminum for those parts, it should be considerably lighter.

The Jota will obviously have more horsepower than the Murcielago. That’s pretty much a given with every new version of a car. The Jota will reportedly have about 700 horsepower, which is almost 40 more than the most powerful Lamborghini ever, the Murcielago LP-670-4 SuperVeloce. The Jota should have no trouble beating that car’s amazing 3.2-second 0-60 time and top speed of 213 miles per hour.

The Lamborghini Jota will also possibly have an all-wheel drive system developed by Haldex. Jalopnik speculates that Haldex’s latest accomplishment, torque vectoring differentials, could come to the Jota. How torque vectoring works is similar to traditional traction control systems in that it senses wheel-spin and quickly adapts to prevent a loss of control. Unlike most traction control systems, torque vectoring systems add power to restore traction rather than subtracting it. That means the Lamboghini Jota will be able to harness those 700 horses much better than previous Lamborghinis.
