Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae Flirts With the Used Car Market, Seeks Wealthy New Owner

But as it turns out, the Italian company has managed to keep the naturally aspirated V12 tradition alive in the Revuelto. Mixing a 6.5-liter unit with three electric motors for a combined 1,001 hp (1,015 ps/ 747kW), it was unveiled earlier this year. It is capable of hitting 62 mph (100 kph) in 2.5 seconds and can even travel on zero emissions for a few miles.

Before bringing the Revuelto to market, Lamborghini celebrated its iconic predecessor, the mighty Aventador, with a special series. Adding the Ultimae suffix, it was offered in the Coupe and Roadster body styles, and the final one left the assembly line almost one year ago in the open-top flavor. Sporting goodies signed by Ad Personam, it was an ode to the Miura Roadster Concept showcased at Brussels in 1968 at Carrozzeria Bertone's stand, and it even had its pictures taken with the study from back in the day.

Only 350 Coupes and 250 Roadsters saw the light of day, not counting the 15 copies that sank to the bottom of the ocean with the Felicity Ace cargo ship, and for such a rare creation, there are several examples listed for grabs as we speak. As you can assume, they carry a hefty premium over the initial asking price, which was north of the $500,000 mark in the United States. But it is still the only way to spruce up one's collection with an Ultimae, given that it is no longer in production.

Sporting a Verde Gea Lucido paint finish on top of the Nero Ade cockpit, the one pictured in the gallery rides on 20-inch front and 21-inch wheels and is looking for a new home. Some of the highlights include the rearview camera, extended leather pack, Alcantara, carbon fiber package, nose-lift system, visibility and light package, electrically adjustable seats with heating, foldable side mirrors, digital radio, black accents, bronze inserts, and other goodies.

Placed in the middle, right behind the seats, is the naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine. In the Aventador Ultimae, regardless of the body style, it was rated at 769 horsepower (780 ps/574 kW) and 531 pound-feet (720 Nm) of torque. A single-clutch transmission with seven gears delivers everything to the all-wheel drive system. The fixed-roof model takes only 2.8 seconds to hit 62 mph (100 kph), and the convertible is one-tenth slower. At 221 mph (355 kph), the top speed is identical in both.

It is obvious that whoever bought it had a single thing in mind, and that was to make a small fortune off it. The reason is that it only has 59 miles (95 km) under its belt. Thus, it spent most of its life in storage, waiting for the value to go up, and now that not many people speak of it, with the Revuelto being on their lips, it left the confined space and headed for another one. It is now in the hands of Hollmann International, which is trying to find a new home for it.

And if you were wondering just how expensive it is, you'd better sit down for this one. Are you ready? It will cost you a cool €891,905 to make it yours, which equals $939,670 at the current exchange rates. That's much more than what you'd have to pay for a brand-new Revuelto, which, depending on whom you ask, starts at over $600,000 in our market. For the difference, you could buy a new Urus super crossover, and you'd still have enough money for insurance and gasoline.

Depending on how the market evolves in the next few months and years, buying a Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae Roadster for close to one million dollars could turn out to be a great investment or a total loss. If you ask us, we think it will only go up in value in the coming years, and it may end up making more money for its future owner than investing in other stuff, like real estate or stock.

But then again, no one can guarantee anything, not even financial advisors, so if you were hoping to blow almost seven digits on this one, then you’d better think with your heart. That'd mean driving it the right way and not keeping it in a climate-controlled garage for too long. After all, like all supercars made by Lamborghini over the years, the Aventador was built to be driven fast on twisty roads. And if you're still wondering whether to buy it or not, then you probably have a lot of money. And you only live once, right?
