Behold the Lamborghini Invencible and Autentica, the Italian bull’s final roar before it charges into the hybrid era…
Just when you thought the two Aventador Ultimae were the last pure bred V12 Lambos ever, the Italian bull has stomped out two new one-offs – and their charging your way.
Known as the Invencible coupe and Autentica roadster, these two ultra-exclusives were created as a send-off and as tribute to that iconic V12 screamer engine. All this just weeks before revealing the Aventador replacement – which will mark the start of the hybrid era. Featuring very wild carbon fibre designs (even by Lambo standards), they feature the brand’s signature hexagon theme, displayed at different places – inside and out.
The sculpted hood reminds us of the track happy Essenza SCV12, and the engine cover is a call back to the featherweight Sesto Elemento – while you can thank the Veneno and Reventon for the extreme aerodynamics on display here.
Inside, it is typical V12 Lambo territory but with hexagonal 3D printed air vents and a heavy hit of carbon fibre.
The Invencible is painted Rosso Efesto vivid red, with matching red brake calipers and interior accents. The Autentica, meanwhile, goes less traditional with matte black and yellow, carried on in the brakes and interior stitching.
Going out on a high, both are powered by the most potent version of that unassisted V12 engine. Like the Ultimae, both the all-wheel drive and the automated single- clutch are in control of power distribution, while the four-wheel steering enables mini supercar handling skills.
As sad as it is, these will be the last two machines Lamborghini produces that will utilise that fun and freaky naturally aspirated V12. While the next chapter is being written now, the design DNA and brutality of the bull will always carry
