Two new Lamborghini models have been unveiled as Aventador successors, signaling the departure of the naturally-aspirated V12. The coupe will be called the Invencibile, while the roadster is named Autentica. Both are based on the long-lasting Aventador platform, which premiered 12 years ago with the original LP 700-4.
The Invencible and Autentica are a mélange of past models by featuring styling cues derived from several V12 machines, including the Reventon. It was a limited-run special edition based on the Murcielago but with an exterior appearance that went on to preview the Aventador. Lamborghini says the pair also takes after the
Veneno, which was arguably the wildest-looking derivative of the Aventador. If the hood design looks familiar, that’s because it has been borrowed from the Essenza SCV12, a track-only beast with the 6.5-liter unit dialed to 818 horsepower.
Lamborghini refrains from talking about how much money is charging for the two cars. However, logic tells us they cost well over the $500,000 asking price of an Ultimae. The LP 780-4 Ultimae was limited to 350 coupes and 250 roadsters
but with the Invencible and Autentica being one-offs, Sant'Agata Bolognese must've set a massive premium for that exclusivity.
This truly is the end of the line for the Aventador. Its hotly anticipated replacement will break cover in the first quarter of 2023 with an all-new V12 part of a plug-in hybrid powertrain. It'll kick start a hybrid revolution as the Urus will get a PHEV and the Huracan replacement is going to be partially electrified as well. An EV will follow in 2028 but Lamborghini's chief technical officer, Rouven Mohr, told our sister site
InsideEVs that it won't be a supercar since the
tech isn't ready yet for a high-performance application.
