Lamborghini presents the SCV12: the hypercar with the most powerful V12 engine in Sant'Agata

Hybridization, turbo, or even the electrification of sports cars is not a concern for Lamborghini Squadra Corse. The Italian manufacturer's competition section demonstrates this with its latest gem, the SCV12, which, as its name suggests, has a V12, and what a hell of a beast!

The naturally aspirated unit develops 830 horsepower, thanks in particular to high-speed dynamic supercharging. It's quite simply the most powerful V12 atmo ever created by the Sant'Agata Bolognese firm! As if that wasn't enough, power is only delivered to the rear wheels...

The hypercar has a racing feel, with a six-speed gearbox developed from the Super Trofeo Evo version. The monocoque chassis is made of carbon fiber, enough to save precious kilos. Another competition derivative, push-rod suspensions are housed on the gearbox.

Visually, we are dealing with the Lamborghini style, very aggressive. The aerodynamics are, according to the press release, more efficient than a Huracan GT3 and offer better downforce. A large, double-stage rear wing can be adjusted. 

The transalpine manufacturer Pirelli was associated with the project, and supplies new slick tires mounted on 19-inch magnesium rims at the front and 20-inch at the rear. Fortunately, it will be impossible to damage them by rubbing on a sidewalk, for the simple reason that the SCV12 will not be approved for the road.

In fact, only the circuits will be able to welcome the few dozen SCV12s from this summer, during exclusive driving courses. The five-time winner of 24 Hours of Le Mans Emanuele Pirro will serve as elite teacher.
