Lamborghini is almost ready to unveil the
SCV12 as the company’s website features a revealing teaser image and a message
saying “stay tuned.” Starting with the picture, you can see the SCV12 is pretty
hardcore as its aggressive side skirts hug the ground. Elsewhere, there’s a
carbon fiber front splitter and stylish LED lights with a distinctive octagonal
shape.
While the darkened teaser image hides some
key details, the model will have a wedge-like design with a roof-mounted scoop.
Other notable highlights include ventilated front fenders, a massive wing and
flaps behind the rear wheels.
Previous pictures have also shown a
ventilated hood, canards and large side scoops. There will also be a prominent
diffuser and a dual exhaust system. While Lamborghini hasn’t spilled all the
beans, the company has already said plenty about the limited edition track car.
In particular, the SCV12 will ride on a “new fully carbon fiber chassis that
allows for a greater power-to-weight ratio as well as the best handling and
circuit driving experience.” The aggressive styling will also enable the model
to produce more downforce than a GT3 race car.
Power will be provided by a naturally
aspirated V12 engine which produces 819 hp. It will be connected
to a six-speed sequential transmission which sends power to the rear wheels.
Speaking of the latter, the SCV12 has 19- and 20-inch magnesium wheels that are
wrapped in special Pirelli slicks. There’s no word on when the SCV12 will be
unveiled, but it’s definitely coming soon as Lamborghini has previously
mentioned a summer release.
