Lamborghini's successor to the Aventador, the electrified Revuelto, keeps inspiring rendering artists to come up with new hypothetical takes on it. And one of the latest we found is a digital ode to the one-of-one Aventador J.
Made in a single copy that was unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, it is one of the most valuable Lamborghinis out there. Its lucky owner is said to have paid the equivalent of almost three million dollars back then, and it was one of the event's biggest starts.

A one-off speedster that was based on the LP 700-4 version of the Aventador, the Aventador J sports a largely redesigned monocoque, two safety bars behind the seats, no roof, and no windshield. It gets additional carbon fiber, and bespoke body panels, according to Lamborghini, riding on a set of special wheels measuring 20 inches at the front and 21 at the rear.

To keep the weight in check, as it tips the scales at 3,740 pounds (1,575 kg), the Sant'Agata Bolognese marque's one-off windshield-less supercar does not pack some amenities that we normally take for granted regardless of the make and model. Thus, stuff such as the air conditioning is not on deck anymore. As for the engine of choice, it is the same 6.5-liter V12 naturally aspirated unit shared with the Aventador LP 700-4, which pumps out an identical 690 horses (700 ps/515 kW).

Now, Lamborghini hasn't expressed its intentions to make a similar version of the all-new Revuelto, but if it did, then it would look pretty much the same as the one imagined by spdesignsest. Compared to the real thing, it doesn't get a windshield anymore. The deck was redesigned, and it comes with new wheels spinning around the yellow brake calipers, which, in turn, go in hand with the same hue that was applied to the dashboard panel, outer edges of the seats, steering wheel, and other interior components.

It's safe to assume a real Lamborghini Revuelto J would retain the electrified powertrain of the normal Revuelto. This means a new 6.5-liter V8 with three electric motors assisting it for a total of 1,001 hp (1,015 ps/747 kW). It would probably still take 2.5 seconds from 0 to 62 mph (0-100 kph) and would likely have a lesser top speed than the coupe, which can keep pushing up to 217 mph or 350 kph. An all-electric range of a few miles would also be possible, with the real thing doing some six miles (10 km) with the 3.8 kWh battery fully charged.

And it would obviously cost an arm and a leg, probably in the region of $3.5 to $4 million. To stay true to the Aventador J, the Revuelto J would also be a one-off, though it might also be made in limited numbers. So, should they give it the go-ahead for production?
