It remains to be seen what’s all the fuss about, but Lamborghini is preparing to take the veils off a track-only Aventador with 830 horsepower from a naturally aspirated V12. That’s a load of ponies from 6.5 liters of displacement and no forced induction whatsoever, and no, hybridization isn’t on the table either.
McLaren Life forum member Champagne612 dropped the news, claiming that “this will be the last-gen V12 before they are forced to go hybrid.” The race-modified engine “is beyond expectations,” and only 40 examples of the breed will be produced. As for the delivery date, Champagne612 expects his car in 2021.
Lamborghini is no stranger to track-only supercars for well-to-do customers not interested in professional racing. This trend started with the Diablo GTR at the 1999 Bologna Motor Show, featuring many modifications to the 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V12 to develop 598 PS (590 horsepower) and 640 Nm (472 pound-feet) of torque. A five-speed transmission had to suffice. This might come as a surprise, but only 40 units were built along with 40 replacement chassis.
For the time being, the limited-edition Sian is the most brawny V12 supercar from Sant’Agata Bolognese. The FKP 37 combines internal combustion with an electric motor and 48-volt electrical system that stores energy in a supercapacitor, totaling 818 PS (807 horsepower) and 760 Nm (561 pound-feet).
Scheduled to enter production in 2020, the spiritual successor of the Asterion LPI 910-4 from the 2014 Paris Motor Show is limited to 63 units, just like the SVJ 63. The production run is a throwback to 1963, the year Ferruccio Lamborghini set up the automotive division of Lamborghini with money from his tractor and air-conditioning businesses.
It’s widely believed the replacement for the Aventador series will arrive in 2022, utilizing an evolution of the 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 and some sort of hybridization. An electrified front axle seems to be the most rumored solution, and some people expected 1,100 horsepower from the yet-unnamed model. Is that enough for the flagship Raging Bull? Only time will tell...
