As you already know, Lamborghini revealed the Aventador SVJ a few days ago. And what a car the Super Veloce Jota is, combining weight-saving materials with aerodynamic trickery and an almighty V12! It’s no wonder the Aventador SVJ broke the Nurburgring lap record for production cars, isn’t it?
Read what you will into that question, but there’s another one left unanswered. Where does Lamborghini go from here on in? According to chief executive officer Stefano Domenicali, “extreme aero” is what the Raging Bull of Sant’Agata Bolognese is working on.
Speaking to Autocar, the head honcho confirmed that something “in the vein of the Centenario and Veneno” is right around the corner. As a rival to the track-focused yet street-legal McLaren Senna, the limited-production special edition holds great promise.
On the flip side, Domenicali told the British publication that the main priority for Lamborghini right now comes in the form of production cars. Reading between the lines, the successor of the Centenario and Veneno should arrive next year at the earliest. Or 2020 if Lamborghini has too much on its plate for 2019, including the launch of the plug-in hybrid option for the Urus.
Looking at this set of circumstances solely, the timing couldn’t be more perfect. The replacement for the Aventador will arrive no later than 2021, sporting a hybridized V12 and an electrified front axle. Following this timeline, the best way to send off the Aventador is to create a swansong in the form of a limited-edition supercar that costs in excess of one million dollars.
The Huracan, meanwhile, is expected to introduce the mid-cycle refresh in 2022, consisting of substantial improvements and more variants. Rear-wheel steering and a stripped-out Huracan GT3 are some of the newities we’re looking forward to.
Like the successor of the Aventador, the V10-powered supercar that will replace the Huracan is expected to go hybrid while retaining natural aspiration. Estimated time of arrival? Sometime in 2022 as far as we know.
