Another species is on the doorstep of extinction; after ten years of loyal service, the Lamborghini Aventador is soon stepping down and leaving its place to a new supercar, almost certainly equipped with hybridisation.
However, the Aventador era isn’t over just yet; as a a climax, Lamborghini has just presented its only non hyrid V12 model. It’s true, two years from now every car with the bull logo will be equipped with a hybridisation system.
“It’s the last pure Lamborghini to be released with a V12 engine. It’s the ultimate Aventador, which ends an extraordinary era in the best way possible; it’s the last of its kind and combines maximum power with the inimitable Lamborghini DNA.”, declared Stephan Winkelmann, the brand’s president.
Of its full name, Lamborghini Aventador LP 680-4 Ultimae, the new supercar carries history’s most powerful V12 engine, with no less than 780 horsepower and a 720 Nm torque, it surpasses the Aventador S by 10 horsepower and the Aventador SVJ by 10 horsepower. Lamborghini has also reduced the weight of the car thanks to carbon fiber. The LP 780-4 Ultima is 25kg lighter, with 1550 kilos on the scale, allowing it to show a weght/power ratio of 1.98 kg per horsepower.
The 0 to 100 km/h acceleration is announced at 2.8 seconds, with the 0 to 200 km/h is anounced at 8.7 seconds. The Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae is also capable to fly by at a 355 km/h top speed. Just like the Aventador S, it disposes of a four wheel drive for it to be easier to handle.
Aesthetically, this last version of the Aventador benefits from a new front bumper. Its splitter is bigger and air funnels have been added. In regards to the back: it’s borrowed form the SVJ, the only difference being that the Ultimae does not posses a fixed spoiler. It’s equipped with 20 inch front and 21 inch back “Dianthus Silver” rims, available in bronze, black oir titanium gray. On the inside, this Aventador is distinguished by its Alcantara and leather seating. It also has caron elements and a Y shaped pattern on the seats. An “Ultimae” badge is visible next to the seats, and a plaque with the number of the vehicle can be seen snext to the driver’s seat.
As you can probably imagine, the Lamborghini LP 780-4 Ultimae will be produced in limited quantities: 350 models. In fact, there will also be a 250 Lamborghini LP 780-4 Ultimae Roadster release.
