LAMBORGHINI has shocked enthusiasts by introducing a new V12 variant of its Aventador series.
The Invencible and Auténtica were released by Lamborghini to bid farewell to its legendary gas motors, as the company aims to electrify future models.
The Aventador has been part of Lamborghini’s lineup since 2011 and is seen as one of the most iconic cars in the storied brand’s history.
Both new models have been made as a one-of-a-kind finale to the gas-powered series.
The Invencible sports a hard-top roof, while the Auténtica is roofless.
The Invecible’s red is repeated throughout the car’s design – from the body, to the brake clips, into the interior.
The Auténtica is a slate gray with repeated neon green in the interior and lining the bottom of the car.
Both the Invencible and Auténtica variants of the car are expected to have similar underpinnings to the production vehicles.
The newest editions also have rear-wheel steering, carrying over another signature from the Aventador series.
The engine output is stunning, including 769 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque.
The biggest difference in the model is its body frame, made entirely from carbon-fiber.
The carbon-fiber is found throughout the car – in the doors, center console, and even in the vents.
The new age design elements of the car are potential glimpses into the future of Lamborghini’s design cues.
The drivetrain on these two are intended to be relics of Lamborghini’s past.
The company claims that the car was made with enthusiasts in mind.
Executives are celebrating the launch of these new variants as the final goodbye to the V-12 engine.
“The V12 engine is one of the pillars of our history and our marque’s success,” Stephan Winkelmann, Lamborghini chairman and CEO, said in a statement.
“… this is the Lamborghini way of celebrating the naturally aspirated V12 with two one-off vehicles that perfectly represent our concept of excellence in personalization.”
He also referred to Lamborghini’s commitment to building more electrified vehicles in the future.
The cars are part of Lamborghini’s newest batch of supercars -many of which are breaking records for the amount of power they produce.
