Exotic brands have mesmerized automotive enthusiasts for decades. And, of course, even if everything is about sustainability, lack of semiconductors, or escalating prices, tradition is not going away.
One interesting conundrum for aficionados is “what is the fastest supercar?” Well, that is a very tricky question. But what about the quickest Lambo, just to have a specific example and narrow things down? Well, again, even that one is a highly delicate matter.
So, let us refrain from highlighting the world’s highest-horsepower aftermarket Lambo or any racing heroes. Let us keep it tidy and answer this from the OEM perspective. Then, and only then, are we going to delve a little deeper into the world of customization.
Naturally, as much as Lambo SUV aficionados would like to, an LM002 or even the mighty and modern Urus are not going to cut it. Alas, do not worry about the latter, we have something special in mind with it. So, these should be the quickest and fastest Lamborghini production cars.
Going from zero to 60 mph (96 kph) or 62 mph (100 kph) might sound like a trifling matter these days. But the numbers are so tiny in the world of supercars and hypercars there is rarely any room for major improvements. Here is a top example. Both Lambo’s last hurrah for the Aventador line, the LP 780-4 Ultimae, and the revived, hybrid Countach LPI 800-4 reach 62 mph at the same time.
Under ideal conditions (which is hardly the case in real life), they would hit the mark in precisely 2.8 seconds. Naturally, for the best acceleration conditions, one would need a very sticky stretch of tarmac. Such as the one provided by an American dragstrip. But once there, it is not the acceleration time that matters the most.
Instead, one would have to switch the measuring quotation to quarter-mile times. Or, if there is a closed-to-public test facility, one could also go for the absolute top speed. Barring there is enough of an exceptionally long stretch... See, that is exactly why we said this apparently simple query is actually a sneaky investigation.
So, perhaps we are better off searching for the fastest Lambo way to stand out in a crowd. And, just to be sure, we are going to show you our ideas for both positive and negative reactions. First, the bad one, just to get it out of our system. And it has nothing to do with the fact it is “pretty in pink.” Because it is probably not.
We do not quarrel with the color or people who like it. Just that with Lambo’s well-known edgy design style and the fact that a Urus is anything but a subtle vehicle, those two do not bode well for each other. Case in point, San Diego, California-based Champion Motor’s most recent Lambo Urus custom build.
It gives off ample Barbie vibes, in the most unapologetic way possible. Complete with matching body details, contrasting glossy black bits, as well as two-tone pink-and-black wheels... As well as harboring some humongous Lambo-branded pink brake calipers! Perhaps it is for the best they did not highlight the interior as well if that one also came with the same “stunning” combination...
That is not to say they do not have sensible ideas either, as they also recently sold a Blue Cepheus Urus. Alas, just to make sure we are not biased, here is also the other side of the coin. A Lamborghini Aventador dressed up in a showcase color – a wrap, actually, in this case. It arrives courtesy of Sacramento, California-based vehicle specialist Diamond Autosport. As an Avery Dennison-sourced Gloss Orange hero.
And it looks exactly as a two-tone build project should. There is enough orange to shine brightly during any summer ride. Also, there is contrasting black attire to make sure one does not go overboard... And it looks great, even alongside other members of the breed (also embedded below).
