Lamborghini presents three supercars at the Shanghai Auto Show

Automobili Lamborghini celebrated three premieres at the Shanghai Auto Show 2021.

The Hypercar Essenza SCV12, limited to just 40 pieces, celebrated its worldwide public display debut on the Lamborghini stand at the fair. The road-homologated Huracan STO rail vehicle, which celebrated its debut in China, joined the Essenza. And the Huracan Fluo Capsule, the latest collection of bright colors for V10 supercars, was presented for the first time in the Asia-Pacific region on a Huracan EVO.

The line-up was supplemented at the stand by the super SUV Urus and rounded off a powerful tour de force from Lamborghini at China’s most important motor show this year. Automobili Lamborghini President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann and Automobili Lamborghini Asia Pacific Regional Director Francesco Scardaoni presented the brand’s strong business performance and new products due to current travel restrictions, which Chinese audiences welcomed via video.

“Automobili Lamborghini closed 2020 with the highest profitability ever and the second highest in terms of revenue and revenue despite a plant closure for around 2 months due to Covid-19. This growing momentum continued until 2021: The year started with a very positive outlook, with deliveries in the first three months reaching their highest level ever. Previous orders already cover nine months of production, ”said Stephan Winkelmann, who has returned to the top of Lamborghini after five years. “We are working very hard and preparing Lamborghini for a new era. The new development plans, which will be announced shortly, will describe how Lamborghini will become an even stronger brand both here in China and around the world. “

Winkelmann commented on the brand’s prospects on the Chinese market as follows: “The Chinese market is showing very positive developments. All production for the Chinese market in 2021 is already planned. With volumes growing, the Chinese market is expected to rise to second place in terms of sales and remain one of the most significant markets for Lamborghini worldwide. “

Lamborghini Essenza SCV12
After its virtual market launch in 2020, the Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 was presented to the public for the first time at the Shanghai Auto Show 2021. Only 40 units of this pure hypercar may be produced.

The Essenza SCV12 is a direct descendant of cars like the Miura Jota and Diablo GTR with the most powerful naturally aspirated V12 ever developed by Lamborghini. With over 830 hp, the Essenza SCV12 receives a significant performance boost at high speeds thanks to the RAM effect. This incredible performance is handled by its new X-trac sequential six-speed transmission, designed as a structural element in the chassis and combined with a rear-wheel drive system for greater structural continuity and torsional rigidity. The large rear wing, the side fins and the front splitter are elements that were inspired by the Huracan Super Trofeo EVO and GT3 EVO. They promise greater efficiency and generate more downforce than a GT3 car with a value of 1,200 kg at 250 km / h.

As the first GT car to be developed in compliance with the safety standards for FIA prototypes, the Essenza SCV12 has an exceptional power-to-weight ratio of 1.66 hp / kg, which is made possible by its new generation carbon fiber monocoque chassis without an internal roll cage .

Lamborghini Huracan STO
The Huracan STO, a street-homologated super sports car, is making its first appearance in China. With a powerful V10 naturally aspirated engine with 640 hp and 565 Nm torque at 6,500 rpm, the Huracan STO with rear wheel can go from 0 to 100 km / h in just 3.0 seconds and from 0 to 200 km / h in 9.0 seconds accelerate and reach a top speed of 310 km / h. The speed of changing gears has also been further increased in order to ensure quick and responsive shift times.

Lamborghini Huracan EVO Fluo capsule
The Huracán EVO Fluo Capsule, launched in November 2020, is a daring yet elegant collection of bright and bold colors for the V10 super sports car, which is implemented in a matt exterior color with complementary interior colors and equipment options.

The Huracan EVO was presented in the matte color Verde Shock (green), which enhances its inimitable lines and shapes. In addition to the color scheme of the show car, there are four other exterior and interior configurations in Arancio Livrea (orange), Celeste Fedra (blue), Arancio Dac (orange) and Giallo Clarus (yellow), combined with matt black details and colored accent lines. are available in the capsule and bring an additional level of diversity and personalization to the already almost infinite possibilities offered by the Ad Personam program.
