Lamborghini is celebrating its legendary naturally-aspirated V12 with the Invincible Coupé and Autentica Roadster, two unique, one-of-a-kind vehicles that underline the marque’s DNA, just weeks before the company unveils its first hybrid super sports car Earlier The two vehicles, designed by Lamborghini Centro Stile on the V12 platform, represent the pinnacle of maximum ingenuity.
“The VI2 engine is one of the pillars of our history and the success of our marque,” said Stefan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “As we move toward embracing a new era of hybridization at the heart of our core Tauri strategy, this is Lamborghini’s way of celebrating the naturally aspirated V12 with two one-off vehicles that embody our concept of excellence in personalization.” fully represents.

The Sesto Elemento, a tribute to lightness and motorsport, distinguished by a massive rear wing, the Reventon with its distinctive aeronautical flair, and the Veneno, which pushes the boundaries of aerodynamic perfection, graced by the Invincible and Autentica .
Both new cars share the same carbon fiber monocoque from the Aventador and full carbon bodywork that incorporates design and technologies successfully tested by Lamborghini in motorsport. The impressive bonnet of the Essenza SCV12 has been reworked, with pronounced front splitter with vertical struts designed to manage airflow in the most efficient way.
The hexagon, a well-known motif of modern Lamborghini design, is integrated into the car’s distinctive visual elements, starting with the striking front and rear light assemblies highlighted by the innovative hexagonal LED running lights. On the bonnet, the air intakes are reminiscent of the Sesto Elemento, and the same cues are repeated in the central triple exhaust with Inconel tips: a special high-performance steel alloy derived from the aerospace industry.
The interior of both the cars highlights a minimalistic dashboard enhanced by hexagonal 3D-printed air vents and no instrumentation on the console. The cockpit has been crafted in carbon fibre, with digital readouts with dedicated graphics for each car.
The Invincible Coupé is characterized by the subtle contrast between the dominant shade of red and the carbon-looking elements enhanced by red ‘flakes’. The Ros so Efesto bodywork is complemented by sills and doorframe in carbon, just like the brake callipers in the Ros so Mars, which sit behind single-nut wheels with a carbon fiber fairing to ventilate the brake assembly. On the classic Cesar doors, there are two prominent hexagonal tricolors: a tribute to the Italian flag that is echoed in the door linings as well as on the steering wheel.
The interior, in the same color as the bodywork, is contrasted in Rose So Alala leather and Nero Cosmos Alcantara, accented by personalized embroidery in Rose So Alala and Nero Ade. The dashboard features a Lamborghini logo in Ros so Efesto: the same color used for the gearshift paddles on the steering wheel.
Similarly, the Autentica Roadster features bodywork in Grigio Titanes in matte black and giallo auge livery with detailing: the color repeating on the brake callipers as well as the key aerodynamic elements. These include a front splitter and a motorsport-derived rear wing that optimizes aerodynamic load, flanked by a pair of fins. The car’s profile is made unique by two domes with integrated rollbars, inspired by open-top racers of the past. The open-air interior boasts elegant Giallo Taurus embroidery, contrasting Nero Ade leather upholstery, and two-tone Nero Cosmas and Grigio Octanes Alcantara.
The Invincible and Autentica are the last cars to be produced by Lamborghini before the transition to the hybrid era, equipped with a 12-cylinder 6.5-litre engine mounted longitudinally at the rear (longitudinale posteriore: ‘LP’). A final salute to the existing Lamborghini V12 powertrain making 780 CV and 720 Nm of maximum torque at 6,750 rpm, mated to a seven-speed ISR gearbox, four-wheel drive and Lamborghini Dynamic Steering system that controls all four wheels.
