These Crazy One-Offs Are the Final Pure V-12 Lamborghinis, We Promise

Lamborghini has revealed two one-offs, the Invencible coupe and Auténtica roadster, that are both powered by the same 769-hp 6.5-liter V-12 as the Aventador Ultimae. The Invencible and Auténtica serve as sendoffs before the automaker adds hybrid power to its naturally aspirated V-12 engine. The carbon-fiber bodywork is unique to these special editions, with extreme aerodynamics and hexagonal design cues littered throughout the car.

When the last Aventador Ultimae rolled off the production line last year, it seemed like the end of the Aventador bloodline that began way back in 2011. But even with the new hybrid replacement just around the corner, Lamborghini has cooked up yet another sendoff to its naturally aspirated V-12 platform with the Invencible coupe and Auténtica roadster.

Like most Lamborghini special editions over the past decade, the Invencible and Auténtica are based around the Aventador’s carbon-fiber monocoque, with the same 6.5-liter V-12 mounted longitudinally amidships. That beast of an engine sends 769 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque—unchanged from the Aventador Ultimae—through the same seven-speed single-clutch automated manual to all four wheels. Like the final Aventadors, the the Invencible and Auténtica also have rear-wheel steering.

What really separates these two one-offs from “normal” Lamborghinis is their fully carbon-fiber bodywork. The styling is said to hark back to several of Lamborghini’s limited-edition supercars. The sculpted hood recalls the track-only Essenza SCV12 and engine cover echoes the lightweight Sesto Elemento, while the Veneno and Reventón served as inspiration for the extreme aerodynamics.

The aero doodads are the easiest way to tell the two apart. The Invencible coupe features a rear wing with swan-neck mounts, while the roofless Auténtica features two fins sprouting from the rear, a similar look to the Lamborghini Sián from 2020. Lamborghini’s obsession with hexagons continues, with the shape appearing on the engine cover, in the three-piece taillights, in the rear wing struts, and in the central triple exhaust.

The cabin has a revised center console design that eschews a touchscreen, although the digital gauge cluster on each car receives unique graphics. Carbon fiber is visible on the doors and center console and of course, the climate control vents are hexagons.

The Invencible coupe is painted in a vivid red, called Rosso Efesto, with red brake calipers and red interior accents to match. The Invencible’s scissor doors are adorned with hexagonal representations of the Italian flag. The Auténtica roadster, meanwhile, has its Grigio Titans bodywork accented by matte black and a yellow hue called Giallo Auge, echoed by the brakes and interior stitching.

The Invencible coupe and Auténtica roadster certainly look dramatic, but they ride on old bones and Lamborghini’s schtick of rehashing the Aventador platform for countless special editions is played out. Lamborghini says that the hybrid successor to the Aventador will be revealed in just a few weeks. We can’t wait to see what Lamborghini’s new direction will bring—just prepare yourself for another decade full of multi-million-dollar limited-production cars destined for a pampered life in climate-controlled garages.
