Lamborghini looks back as it prepares to show special model

Ahead of presenting a new super sports car at Monterey Car Week 2025, Lamborghini is looking back at the most significant steps in the design and technology evolution of its few-offs.

With just 20 coupes and 15 roadsters built, the Reventon was conceived to astound and innovate, thanks to the use of unprecedented materials and technologies. The car, featuring a hybrid chassis made of steel with carbon fibre reinforcements, also marked the debut of body panels entirely made of carbon fibre, which was later adopted on the Aventador. In addition, the Reventon was the first Lamborghini with three LCD screens in the instrument panel.

As well as encapsulating exclusivity, Lamborghini few-offs offer an unsurpassed way to showcase the company's capacity for innovation. This is exemplified by the Sesto Elemento (of which only 20 were made), which had a V10 engine and was presented by Lamborghini in 2010.

Another key example of a few-off is the Veneno, which was presented in 2013. It fully harnessed the mechanical potential of the Aventador and its V12 engine, introducing advanced aerodynamic solutions. The highly functional design was devised to optimise efficiency and downforce even at high speeds. Further innovations came in the shape of the carbon fibre monocoque. Its interior was also covered with CarbonSkin, a patented carbon fibre material found on the dashboard, seats and headliner.

The Veneno was also the first Lamborghini with a manual rear wing load adjustment system, which could be set to high, medium, or low. This feature was also found on later models, such as the Aventador SVJ and Huracan STO.

In 2016, the Sant'Agata Bolognese company shone a spotlight on its technical and stylistic excellence by presenting the Centenario. The vehicles were equipped with a 760bhp version of the naturally aspirated V12 engine used in the Aventador. Just 40 were produced: 20 coupes and 20 roadsters.

Based on the hybrid architecture of the Sian, the Countach LPI 800-4 paid tribute to the company's first rear longitudinal V12 engine by presenting a contemporary take on it

At Geneva International Motor Show in 2019, Lamborghini presented the Sian FKP 37: Its first vehicle with an electrified powertrain. Equipped with a V12 engine and an electric system with supercapacitors, this limited-edition car marked the first step towards the company's subsequent electrification strategy.

In 2021, Lamborghini presented the Countach LPI 800-4. Based on the hybrid architecture of the Sian, it paid tribute to the company's first rear longitudinal V12 engine by presenting a contemporary take on it.

And finally, in 2025, Lamborghini's new limited-edition creation, which will be unveiled during Monterey Car Week, will map out the future of the marque and celebrate its identity and vision.
