Celebrating Conceptuals
The two new cars share the same carbon fiber monocoque as the Aventador., together with a carbon body that incorporates the design and technologies successfully proven by Lamborghini in competition. The bonnet is the same as that of the Essenza SCV12, together with the pronounced front splitter with vertical pillars designed to manage airflow in the most efficient way.
A well-known modern Lamborghini design motif, the hexagon is integrated into the car’s distinctive visual elements, starting with the striking front and rear light cluster enhanced by innovative hexagonal LED lights. On the chest, the air intakes are reminiscent of those of the Sesto Elementoand the same details are repeated in the triple center exhaust with Inconel tips: a special high-performance steel alloy derived from the aerospace industry.
the configurations
The interior of both models is marked by clean lines, with a minimalist dashboard enhanced by 3D-printed hexagonal air vents and no instrumentation on the console, to underline the lightness of the cabin and focus attention on pure driving pleasure. The dashboard itself is made of carbon fiber, with a digital indicator with specific graphics for each vehicle.
The Invincible coupé is characterized by the subtle contrast between the dominant shade of red and the carbon-look elements enhanced by red “scales”. The Rosso Efesto bodywork is complemented by carbon sills and door sills, as are the Rosso Mars brake calipers, which sit behind monolock wheels with carbon fiber fairings to ventilate the brake package. Two hexagonal tricolors stand out on the classic scissor doors: a tribute to the Italian flag that is repeated both on the door trims and on the steering wheel.
The interior, in the same color as the body, contrasted with Rosso Alala leather and Nero Cosmus Alcantara, accented by custom embroidery in Rosso Alala and Nero Ade. The dashboard features the Lamborghini logo in Rosso Efesto: the same color used for the paddle shifters on the steering wheel.
Along the same lines, but with its own personality, the Authentic roadster features a Grigio Titans bodywork with Matte Black accents and Giallo Auge livery: a color that is repeated on the brake calipers and on the main aerodynamic elements. These include the front splitter and rear wing straight out of the motorsport world, flanked by a pair of flappers. The profile of the car is unique thanks to the integrated roll bars, inspired by the racing roadsters of the past.
The open-air interior sports elegant Giallo Taurus embroidery, with contrasting Nero Ade leather upholstery and two-tone Alcantara Nero Cosmus and Grigio Octans.
The Invincible and Autentica are the last cars made by Lamborghini to be equipped purely with a 6.5-liter 12-cylinder engine. longitudinally mounted at the rear (Longitudinale Posteriore: “LP”) before the transition to the hybrid era. Last goodbye to Lamborghini’s V12 powertrain delivers 780 Hp and a maximum torque of 531 lb-ft at 6,750 rpmmated to a seven-speed ISR gearbox, four-wheel drive and the Lamborghini Dynamic Steering system that controls all four wheels.
