With the rise of electrification of the modern automotive powertrain, naturally aspirated engines
like the Lamborghini V-12 weren't long for this world. While amazing examples of engineering, the power, efficiency, and reduction of emissions a hybrid powertrain provides are just too many advantages to give up for a legacy engine. To bid this legendary V-12 a proper goodbye before Lamborghini's first hybrid setup debuts, the Italian supercar builder found that the only way to say farewell was to build two one-off masterpieces that celebrate this fire-breathing beast.
Both the Invencible coupe and Autentica roadster pay tribute to several V-12 powered Lamborghinis before
the brand goes into its hybrid future. There are elements of the Sesto Elemento, an
homage of lightness and motorsports; the Reventon, a unique take on aeronautical style; The Essenza SCV12, a
n imposing design of high-performance aerodynamics; and the Veneno, a quest for aerodynamic perfection. All of the characteristics from each of those legendary Lamborghinis were built into an Aventador chassis by Lamborghini Centro Stile to create the ultimate in V-12-powered performance.
To top it all off, distinctive visual cues were added like the hexagonal LED running lights, air intakes and Inconel triple central exhaust system, similar to the Sesto Elemento. Both new cars are a marvel to look at from the outside."
