In 1966, Lamborghini shook the automotive establishment when it mounted is powerful V12 engine transversally, in a rear-mid position, on the P400 Miura: the vehicle for which the term “supercar” was coined.
As such, the Miura plays an oversized role in Lamborghini’s long V12 engine story, which has powered its iconic cars for almost 60 years and come to epitomize the cornerstones of Lamborghini’s DNA. This year, 2022, marks the final year of the last pure Lamborghini V12 combustion engine. Mounted in the Aventador Ultimae1, it brings the curtain down on a glorious era ahead of the first hybrid production model in 2023, which will mark the start of the hybridization process at Lamborghini.
