The Lamborghini Aventador is about to say goodbye. The automaker confirmed in 2021 that the Ultimae would be the last hurrah for the brand’s naturally aspirated V12 engine. The company is already working on the replacement for the Aventador, and a new video captures a partially camouflaged example during testing.
Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann confirmed earlier this month that the car will feature an electrified V12. Spy photos also revealed the car’s plug-in powertrain. New interior photos from last week revealed the car’s digital instrument display showing the prototype in “hybrid” mode. It will also have an all-electric mode, with the V12 featuring an 8,500 rpm redline.

The new video from the Varryx YouTube channel isn’t as revealing as these images, but the high-voltage yellow stickers on the car’s rear fenders and fascia are easy to spot. The new Lamborghini will arrive with an all-new V12 engine behind the cabin, which will draw air through the huge air intakes behind the doors, which are not visible on this test vehicle, which mostly resembles the Aventador. Current SVJ.
The car will retain Lamborghini’s signature wedge shape, with this prototype featuring six rear tailpipes. This is not a new style trend, because the two larger individual tailpipes under the four are fake. Previous spy photos showed the successor with just the four tailpipes at the top of the rear fascia.
This test vehicle doesn’t seem to wear a lot of new sheet metal. The company’s new supercar will have a unique design, which the automaker hides under camouflage on other prototypes we’ve spied. Inside, it looks like the car will have a dual-display setup on the center stack, likely separating the climate controls from the infotainment panel.
Lamborghini will unveil the replacement for the Aventador at the end of March 2023, which isn’t that far off, officially wrapping up the current car’s nearly 12-year run. We expect to see more electrified supercars in the coming months, with Lamborghini likely launching a teaser campaign sooner rather than later. Aventador’s successor will set the stage for the company’s next act.
