Bitauto News? On the eve of the opening of the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, we took pictures of the actual Lamborghini Essenza SCV12. The new car is developed by Lamborghini Squadra Corse and designed by Lamborghini Centro Stile, and is limited to only 40 units. 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.
The Essenza SCV12 is purpose-built for the track, with engineering solutions derived from racing. The front bonnet has a central twin air inlet, typical of Huracán racing cars, which separates hot airflow from the radiator and delivers cool air to vents located on the roof. On the sides, intake air flow for engine and gearbox cooling has been increased through the use of vertical fins located on the side sills. The new car also comes with magnesium alloy rims (19 inches at the front, 20 inches at the rear), as well as custom Pirelli tires, and the brake system is Brembo Motorsport-developed brake discs and calipers.
In terms of power, this ultimate machine specially built for track driving is equipped with the most powerful V12 engine in Lamborghini's history, with a maximum power of more than 830 horsepower. The exhaust pipes were designed by Capristo to enhance performance and emphasize the engine's unique sound. An X-trac sequential six-speed gearbox is used, combined with rear-wheel drive to ensure compactness of the entire drivetrain.
