Lamborghini Delivers Final Model of Aventador Coupe

One era of Lamborghini is coming to an end. Starting next year, the company will offer only electric powertrains.

The Huracan Stellato will be unveiled in late November as the last Lamborghini with a pure V10 engine, and the Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae in 2021 as the last Raging Bull with a pure V12 engine.V 12-cylinder plug-in hybrid will replace the Aventador next year, and has been spotted in test runs.

Last April, Lamborghini auctioned off the rights to the last of the Aventador Ultimae coupes along with a non-fossil token called the Lamborghini Ultimate; for NFT owners, online access to future Lamborghini special edition reveals, private tour of the Lamborghini museum, and access to DJ Steve Aoki and digital artist Krista Kim, who collaborated on the NFT and helped design the car. Aoki was tasked with creating a soundtrack exclusively for the NFT, while Kim created the visuals for it.

The winning bidder finally took delivery of the car this week at an RM Sotheby's auction for $1,603,125; Kim, who famously won the NFT representing the Digital House in 2021 for $500,000 worth of the cryptocurrency Ethereum, was present for the handover, and Aoki was virtually there He was.

The car, however, is not the last Aventador, nor the last Lamborghini with a pure V-12 engine. That honor goes to the Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae Roadster, completed in September and destined for a Swiss buyer.

The Aventador Ultimae is powered by Lamborghini's familiar 6.5-liter V12 engine, tuned to deliver 769 hp and 531 lb-ft of torque by adjusting valve timing. Peak power is the highest of any Aventador road car, reaching 8,500 rpm. While Lamborghini is moving toward electric powertrains and eventually full electric powertrains, the company has not ruled out the possibility of offering a dedicated circuit car with only an internal combustion engine in the future. in 2020, something like the Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 is already in the works ...]
