Lamborghini has unveiled a new extremist. It concerns the already expected Essenza SCV12 that will never (legally) see the public road. The Essenza SCV12 is only intended for the track.
The Essenza SCV12 has been buzzing through the corridors for a while, but is now officially presented to the general public by the Italians. It is a heavily timed Aventador that is only intended for track use. Lamborghini’s sports division Lamborghini Squadra Corse is the leader of the development of the hypercar and has managed to get it the most powerful V12 Lamborghini ever built. The V12 behind the front seats is good for “more than 830 hp”. For the SCV12, Lamborghini conjures up a new X-trac sequential six-speed gearbox. An exhaust system developed by Capristo must reduce the back pressure.
By using a new type of carbon fiber and by incorporating the roll cage into the chassis, Lamborghini has achieved the exceptional power-to-weight ratio of 1.66 hp per kilo. The design also takes the aerodynamics into account. This results in a downward pressure of 1,200 kilos at 250 km / h. The hypercar also gets an extreme conversion with extra bumper work and a gigantic rear wing. The SCV12 shown in the photos gets the unique color combination of Verde Silvans, Grigio Linx, Nero Aldebaran Gloss and Arancio California; a nod to the partners of Lamborghini Squadra Corse (such as Pirelli and Roger Dubuis). Only lightweight materials are also used inside. In addition, a round steering wheel gives way to a multifunctional example for which the F1 has been viewed with an oblique eye.
Customers of a Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 don’t just buy a car. No, they belong to an exclusive group for which Lamborghini provides various services. For example, each owner will have their own garage box in a new hangar in Lamborghini’s home port, Sant’Agata Bolognese. The program also provides several worldwide races on the most famous circuits. The first series of races will start in 2021.
Lamborghini eventually builds forty copies of the extreme hypercar. Prices are not yet reported.
