Lamborghini has called time on the Aventador, but the brand has made sure its flagship V12 supercar will go out with a bang with this – the 769bhp Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae.
Production will be limited to just 600 examples, separated into 350 coupes and 250 roadsters. It’s set to start around £342,000, so much more than the £285,000 Aventador S but less than the £365,000 Aventador SVJ.

It’s powered by a tuned version of the supercar’s naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine, which produces 769bhp and 720Nm of torque. To phrase it in a different way, that’s 39bhp and 30Nm much more than you get in the Aventador S.

The engine is still mated to a seven-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive system, but the extra grunt has trimmed the Aventador’s 0–62mph time by a tenth of a second to 2.8 seconds. top speed has also risen from 217mph to 220mph.
It also gets staggered 20/21-inch alloy wheels, adaptive dampers and the same four-wheel steering system as the Aventador S. The chassis control system is similar, too, giving buyers a choice of Strada, sport and Corsa driving modes, as well as a customisable “Ego” setting.
To complement the extra power, Lamborghini has given the Aventador Ultimae a few styling tweaks, chief of which is the new front bumper with its dedicated splitter and intake design.
