A New Special Edition Lamborghini is Coming Soon

Lamborghini has revealed it will soon present a new special-edition model that follows in the footsteps of cars like the Lamborghini Centenario and Veneno. 

The new special edition model, whose existence was recently made public by Lamborghini’s R&D boss Maurizio Reggiani, will usher in new technology for the brand. Similar to the Centenario, which debuted Lamborghini’s rear-wheel steering system that later appeared in the series production Aventador S, this yet-to-be named special edition will feature new tech that will eventually trickle down through Lamborghini’s portfolio.

“Soon we will present to our most important customers a new version of what we call a one-off,” Reggiani told CarAdvice.com.au. “For us a one-off is a small number of cars where we make scouting of a new design trend, like we did with the Centenario and not only that, we introduce some new technology.”

“It was also the case with the Centenario where we revealed rear-wheel steering that came into production [on the Aventador S]. We will announce it with our loyal customers that wait for this, we don’t need to do more, we arrive at the motor show and the production is already sold out.”

If we had to wager a guess, we’d say the “new technology” Reggiani is referring to will be a hybrid powertrain. We have yet to see the automaker marry hybrid tech with its 5.2-liter V10 or 6.5-liter V12 engines, and with many other supercar manufacturers putting their eggs in the hybrid performance basket, the clock is ticking for Lamborghini to do the same. Its arch rivals over at Ferrari are set to introduce series production hybrid cars from 2019 onward, so the timing is right for Lambo to go partially electric.

We’re expecting to see the next limited-run Lambo appear in the coming months – perhaps at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show in late November. Lamborghini is also showing its Urus SUV during a special event in Sant’ Agata, Italy on December 4th, so it’s also possible it will show the supercar at that time. If you were a fan of other Lamborghini special editions like the Veneno, Reventon, Sesto Elemento and Concept J, now’s when you start to get excited.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Novitec, Unsatisfied with Aventador SV, Adds More Veloce

The Lamborghini Aventador SV is no slouch, but if you’re into Lamborghinis, chances are you’re into big numbers. Whether it’s in the bank or under the hood, a big number could, and perhaps should, always be bigger, which is where Novitec steps in. Novitec has been modifying Italian cars for years, and their Torado line is dedicated to making ridiculous Lamborghinis even more ridiculous. Their latest effort takes the Aventador SV and remaps the engine to give it 786hp and 544 lb-ft of toque. They’ve also fitted the car with a new exhaust system that cuts 50 lbs off the car. Other mods include a carbon fiber aero package, spoiler, front splitter and air intake, all of which helps it shed even more weight. The Aventador also sits on 21 (back) and 20 (front) inch Vossen wheels. So if you think that a regular Aventador is just a little too pedestrian, give Novitec a call and they’ll hook you up.
