At the Shanghai Auto Show, which opened on April 19, Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 made its world debut. Limited to just 40 units, this track-only supercar was developed by Lamborghini Squadra Corse and designed by Lamborghini Centro Stile. Essenza SCV12 is equipped with the most powerful V12 naturally aspirated engine in Lamborghini's history, with a maximum power of more than 830 horsepower. Let's take a look at this supercar with the ultimate track design!
The Essenza SCV12 is purpose-built for the track, with engineering solutions derived from racing. Since there is no need to meet road driving regulations or take into account the vehicle performance requirements of the competition, this car can apply the most extreme technology and design as much as possible to bring the most amazing track driving experience.
Essenza SCV12 only needs to follow two cores in body design: lightweight and aerodynamic performance. In terms of lightweighting, this track supercar uses a new generation of carbon fiber monocoque, which can also be used as a roll cage. This also follows the FIA ??prototype safety rules, making it in line with the safety standards for competition, and at the same time extremely Greatly reduces the weight of the car body.
In addition, the engine and gearbox of Essenza SCV12 have also become part of the frame structure, which saves a lot of frame structure and also contributes greatly to lightweighting. Four magnesium alloy wheels (19 inches at the front, 20 inches at the rear), customized Pirelli tires, and carbon fiber brake discs and calipers developed by Brembo Motorsport are also completely lightweight designs, reducing the unsprung weight of this supercar. quality.
In the end, the Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 reached a power-to-mass ratio of 1.66PS/kg, which is close to the level of top racing cars such as the Le Mans LMP1 class. Its performance on the track can also be imagined.
In terms of aerodynamics, thanks to Lamborghini Squadra Corse’s GT racing experience, it is ensured that the Essenza SCV12 achieves the best possible balance between aerodynamic resistance and downforce. The supercar's front bonnet features a central twin air duct that separates hot air from the front radiator and delivers cool air to the engine air intake located on the roof. On the sides, engineers increased the intake air flow to the engine and transmission coolers by using vertical fins located on the side sills.
With spoiler fins all over the car and a huge adjustable spoiler at the rear, Essenza SCV12 can generate 1050kg of downforce when traveling at 250 km/h. This number is also comparable to the top-end models. It is comparable to racing cars, ensuring its excellent stability when cornering at high speeds.
In terms of power, the V12 engine equipped in Essenza SCV12 can provide a maximum power of more than 830 horsepower. The exhaust system was designed by Capristo to enhance performance and emphasize the engine's unique sound. At the same time, a racing X-trac sequential six-speed gearbox is used, combined with rear-wheel drive to ensure the compactness of the entire transmission system.
Although the official has not announced the acceleration, top speed, track and other results of this super sports car, I believe that with its various data comparable to the world's top racing cars, its track results should be very amazing. I believe that this kind of performance is enough to meet customers' expectations for a top-level Lamborghini sports car.
The Essenza SCV12 is not a sports car that can be driven on the road, but a racing car that is completely oriented to the track. Therefore, Lamborghini provides various exclusive track services for customers of this car. Customers will be able to drive their supercars on the world's most prestigious circuits using a special scheme, while each car will have a personalized garage and dedicated services, including webcams that will allow customers to monitor them 24/7 using an app car.
Summary:
Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 shows the brand’s most extreme design and cutting-edge racing technology, allowing people to see Lamborghini’s strong research and development strength. At the same time, this car is an important part of Lamborghini's efforts to create a brand event culture. Together with Lamborghini's single-brand events, brand track experience activities and many other projects, it will make Lamborghini's event culture more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and loved by more people.
