Lamborghini sends off the Aventador with a tailored model paying homage to the Muira

The world of supercars will never be the same again. Italian automakers have started to build SUVs, exterior design language is going crazy, but most importantly, the electrification wave is well underway. So, it is time to say goodbye to the big, V-12 engines and embrace an all-electric future. And while that might not happen right away, every future supercar manufacturer is preparing to at least combine a gasoline-powered engine with a hybrid system that should help improve emissions. In this context, Lamborghini is preparing to kill the current Aventador - it already unveiled the limited edition Ultimae - and is currently testing a successor for the supercar. Since the Aventador Ultimae was built in limited units, the last model has already been built. But the final model, tailored for a Swiss customer, is sending off the Aventador off in a memorable way.

Thanks to this special client, the very last Aventador is leaving the production factory in style. The last Ultimae unit is finished in a specially created color known as Azzuro Flake finish, a replica of the original Lamè Sky Blue Acrilico paint found on the one-off Miura P400 Roadster that was unveiled in 1968. This special blue is combined with a Grigio Liqueo rocker cover featuring Nero Aldebaran pinstripe. The supercar's roof and engine cover are made from black-painted carbon fiber, while more visible carbon fiber can be found on the sill, front splitter, and rear diffuser. Even more black is found around the air intakes, the tailpipes, and on the brake calipers, a layout that creates a very nice contrast against the shiny silver wheels.

The cabin takes a similar approach to celebrating Lamborghini's supercar roots. The leather seats were styled after those found in the Miura Roadster with a combination of Bianco Leda leather with complementary Nero Aldebaran. The dashboard features a minimalist design and is wrapped in Nero Ade Alcantara with Bianco Leda stitching. A unique Miura badge is applied on both the dashboard and the side rocker.

While both the exterior and the interior were custom-made, no modifications were made to the engine. As such, the last Ultimae Roadster built is powered by the same 6.5-liter V-12 engine that delivers a total of 769 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque. All this power is sent to all four wheels via a seven-speed transmission. The supercar goes from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 2.9 seconds, and from 0 to 124 mph in 8.7 seconds. Top speed is an staggering 220 mph.

Since this was the last Ultimae Roadster built, Lamborghini has offically ceased production of the Aventador. The Italian company is currently testing a successor for it, and it has been caught testing many times these past few months. It will be an electrified supercar with a “spaceship” like look, according to Lamborghini's Head of Design, Mitja Borkert. It will be powered by a newly developed V-12 engine - Lamborghini is not killing the V-12 just yet – mated to a plug-in hybrid system for better acceleration and better fuel economy. Rumors suggest the new model will deliver close to 800 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque. These numbers shouldn't surprise you considering Lamborghini is challenging models like the Ferrari SF90 Stradale.
