Lamborghini has officially introduced its new SCV12 track-only hypercar. The vehicle sports a extremely tuned engine, an aggressive aero bundle as well as a distinct carbon fibre chassis – all of which, the business says, are influenced by the car’s forebears, the Miura Jota as well as Diablo GTR.
As its name suggests, the Lamborghini SCV12 is powered by a V12 engine.

Unlike Lamborghini’s tamer road-going hypercars, the SCV12 will send all of its power to the rear wheels through a sequential gearbox. The six-speed transmission is utilized as a structural member within the hypercar’s platform as well as supports a pushrod rear suspension system. Lamborghini states this configuration reduces the car’s kerb weight as well as enhances weight distribution by limiting the amount of metal in the car’s rear subframe.
