2022 Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 in Monterey, California

Vehicle Description

Chassis No. ZHWEM6ZD4NLA11604

For those select Lamborghini clients who found the marque's street-legal models insufficiently extreme-or perhaps had already conquered the competition aboard Hurac�n Super Trofeo and GT3 machinery-Lamborghini's motorsport division set to work on a new offering. Introduced in July 2020, the Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 was unveiled as the marque's most extreme track-only offering to date, joining the ranks of Ferrari's FXX program and Aston Martin's Valkyrie AMR Pro in an ultra-exclusive market of track-only hypercars. A mere 40 examples would be produced worldwide, conceived under FIA prototype safety standards and crafted by Lamborghini's motorsport division, Squadra Corse, in partnership with Centro Stile.

At its core rested the Aventador SVJ's 60-degree, 6.5-liter V12 rotated 180 degrees to fit a new six-speed Xtrac sequential gearbox mounted transversely at the rear, which acted as a stressed member of the chassis. Thanks to a prominent snorkel scoop on the roof feeding air to the engine intake manifold, the V12's output reached approximately 830 PS (819?horsepower) at 8,500 rpm-making it Lamborghini's most powerful naturally aspirated engine to date. In place of the Aventador's all-wheel drive system, this epic power was channeled to the rear wheels only.

Every element of the Essenza SCV12's exterior, stylistically and aerodynamically, served to pin down this monstrous output, with Mitja Borkert, Head of Lamborghini Centro Stile saying of the design, "[it is] extreme but stylistically very clean, as a real racing car should be." Dual front splitters and underbody tunnels channeled air under the car, while dual-inlets and a center rib in the hood directed air to the roof-top intake. In the rear, a huge adjustable double-profile wing and a deep diffuser worked in tandem. The result was a staggering 2,650?pounds of downforce at about 155?mph, comparable to an LMP1 prototype racer. Completing this FIA-approved package were Brembo brake calipers and carbon-ceramic discs, visible through lightweight magnesium 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels shod in Pirelli slick tires.

To match the SCV12's exclusivity, Lamborghini debuted a boutique ownership program for its 40 fortunate buyers. Access to the Essenza SCV12 club included two years of storage at a showroom-style garage housed in a private hangar at Sant'Agata Bolognese, with around the clock security monitoring and "Lamborghini Squadra Corse Drivers Lab" facilities, offering athletic training programs akin to those followed by the official Lamborghini racing drivers. The primary advantage of SCV12 club access was an invitation to around five exclusive track-day events each season, allowing owners to unleash their hypercars on FIA Grade 1 homologated circuits under the tutelage of Squadra Corse luminaries such as five-time Le Mans winner Emanuele Pirro and factory driver Marco Mapelli.

This year's SCV12 club calendar has already hosted two "arrive and drive" events at Autodromo Nazionale Monza in late-April and Balaton Park Circuit in mid-July, with upcoming events being scheduled at Circuit de Barcelona alongside the Super Trofeo Official Tests on 2-3 October, and Misano World Circuit together with the Super Trofeo World Finals on 8-9 November. Additionally, this car remains eligible for participation in the final SCV12 club season, which will feature a yet-to-be-announced schedule of European track-day events in 2026. The remarkable offering presented here, chassis 11604, therefore provides the opportunity to immediately exercise the SCV12 exactly as intended-on world-class tracks with the full support of the Squadra Corse technical team (single event for €35.000 plus VAT, or four events per year for €90.000 plus VAT). However, should you find yourself in close proximity to a different venue of your choosing, Lamborghini can, for an additional fee, dispatch the car and its dedicated crew anywhere in the world upon request.

The Essenza SCV12 presented here is a virtually brand-new example of Lamborghini's ultra exclusive track-only hypercar, built as one of only 40 examples worldwide and one of just seven delivered to the United States. It was completed in 2021 as a 2022 model-year car and dispatched new to Lamborghini Salt Lake City in Jordan, Utah. The exterior is draped in the Ad Personam shade of Rosso Scintilla, a deep metallic red that beautifully accentuates the car's aggressive louvers and flares, with number 63 adorning the front nose and both doors. Notably, this chassis boasts a one-of-one factory option: the exposed, gloss carbon-fiber engine cover, rear wing, and mirror housings have been tinted with a stunning crimson hue. Such tinted carbon-fiber trim is only found on this chassis, making 11604 a truly singular offering among its peers.

The car's factory-fresh presentation continues with its Nero Cosmus Alcantara upholstery and FIA-homologated OMP carbon-fiber racing seats. While the interior currently features a three-spoke leather-wrapped OMP steering wheel, the original laminated-carbon yoke steering wheel and travel case are included in the sale. Additionally, the car comes complete with a new personalized OMP racing suit that will be custom-tailored to the next fortunate owner, ensuring they can take full advantage of the remaining SCV12 events available to them. At the time of cataloging, the consignor reports that in their care, the car has only ever been turned over twice and is offered with single-digit delivery miles, therefore presenting as a showroom-fresh, unraced example awaiting its track debut. Chassis 11604 represents not only the pinnacle of Lamborghini's track-only hypercar program, but the chance to experience its performance with immediate access to the SCV12 club's global calendar of factory-supported track days at Barcelona, Misano, and beyond.
