After the roadster from a few weeks ago, the second Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae has arrived in India. This time it's another roadster which is limited to 250 units globally. There will only be 600 Aventador Utimae made, all of which have been sold. The Ultimae is the last-ever naturally aspirated V12 Lamborghini, it will be replaced in 2024 with a hybrid V12 supercar.

Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae engine, performance, 0 to 100 kmph

The 6.5-litre V12 in the Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae is the most powerful ever to have been fitted to a standard production Lamborghini. The naturally-aspirated motor now makes a massive 780PS and 720 Nm, that's 10PS more than even the track-focused Aventador SVJ and 40PS more than the Aventador S. The Ultimae is good for a 0 to 100 kmph time of 2.8s, it does 0 to 200 kmph in 8.7s and has a 355 kmph top speed. The engine pairs with a seven-speed single-clutch automatic gearbox. The AWD system has also been retuned for a more rear-biased feel.

Like other Aventadors, the Ultimae rides on push-rod suspension has rear-wheel steer and replaces the SVJ's fixed-wing for a three-stage electronically deployable one. The Aventador is built around a carbon tub and the body is a mix of carbon and aluminium.

Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae exterior

Styling changes to the Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae are subtle, as far as these special editions from the brand go. There is a new front air dam with horizontal panels and their contrasting highlights. These run the length of the car and end in the rear diffuser with its more open design. Of course, all manner of customisation options are available like the 20-inch wheels and the carbon elements on this example. The earlier roadster was finished in yellow while this one gets a burnt orange shade.

Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae interior

On the inside, the Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae gets a carbon and Alcantara cabin. The are laser-etched Y-motifs across the board and a commemorative plaque. There are drive modes and customisable display screens. This roadster gets a bit more leather in the cabin with the carbon fibre and is highlighted in orange.

Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae price, production run

Lamborghini India hasn't revealed the prices of the Aventador Ultimae but expect it to be well over Rs 8 crore. The roadster is one of only 250 available globally while are further 350 coupes are being made for a total production run of 600 units, all sold out.

The Aventador Ultimae marks the end of an era for Lamborghini. A naturally aspirated V12 has been an inedible part of Lamborghini's character, going back even longer than the outrageous styling to the first-ever Lamborghini, the 350 GT. Later on, the Miura was the first to actually put a V12 in this mid-engined configuration you see here.
