Lamborghini V12 Main

Why Lamborghini’s Iconic V12 Is The Heart Beat Of The Ita...

For the past 60 years, Automobili Lamborghini has powered its most legendary supercars and hypercars with performance-driven 12-cylinder engines.  While the push for fuel-efficient hybrids and all-electric EVs takes full effect on the automotive industry, many performance-focused manufacturers are forced to say goodbye to large combustion engine platforms. Although it seems to be a sad future for most passionate car collectors and enthusiasts, brands like Automobili Lamborghini are celebrating their most coveted examples and the V12 engine that helped to shape them as a pioneer. Since 1963, the naturally aspirated V12 engine has evolved into the heartbeat for models like the Aventador, Sián, and Countach LPI 800-4, as well as the Essenza SCV12, the track-day car that produces 830 horsepower. MUST-READ: The Best Lamborghinis You Can Buy Today Who engineered Lamborghini's first 12-Cylinder engine? The first Lamborghini 12-cylinder engine was designed by Giotto Bizzarrini and was essentially made as a racing engine for more “civilized” road use. After discussing possible improvements, a second engine (V12) was designed from scratch while still harnessing much of Bizzarrini’s technical concepts. What began as Lamborghini’s entrance into the world of racing quickly became the regular production engine for Ferruccio Lamborghini’s new model. Which Lamborghini model was the first to feature a V12? The first-ever V12 Lamborghini to leave the Sant’Agata Bolognese factory in 1964 was the 350 GT, an early front-engine model delivered to Livorno-native jazz drummer Giampiero Giusti. The same car, now the oldest production Lamborghini in existence, perfectly restored and certified by Polo Storico, won Best in Show at the Lamborghini & Design competition held in Trieste and organized in 2019 by Lamborghini Polo Storico. What makes Lamborghini's V12 engine so iconic? Lamborghini’s iconic V12 engine is considered one of the most refined and prestigious power plants, thanks to a double overhead camshaft that increases the “V” angle of the engine. Over time the size of the engine was an increase from the 350 GT’s 3.5-liter to a 6.5-liters, with an array of sizes in-between powering unique creations like the 1986 Lamborghini LM 002 as well as 700 horsepower offshore racing powerboats. Lamborghini continued to take different approaches to the V12 to meet the increasingly stringent regulations. The Aventador is the last Lamborghini to run a pure naturally aspirated V12 engine before the next hybrid chapter is rolled out in the first quarter of 2023.

Lamborghini Delivered Its Most Cars Ever In 2022

Despite tough circumstances, Lamborghini puts a record year in the books. The lasting effects of the pandemic have plagued nearly every company in the world and inhibited their ability to grow. However, some companies, Lamborghini included, were still able to grow and achieve unprecedented success. In 2022, Lamborghini managed to come away with one of its best financial years on record, eclipsing 9,000 cars delivered to reach 9,233, which represents an increase of 10% compared to last year’s figure. In addition, that increase in deliveries wasn’t thanks to just one region’s success: deliveries were up 7% in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region at 3,484 cars, up 10% in America at 3,188, and up 14% in Asia at 2,561. These numbers all represent the best-ever delivery numbers for each region. MUST READ: CURATED Sources And Smuggles A Rare Lamborghini Countach Out Of Venezuela With the wind at its back, Lamborghini looks forward this year to introducing the start of a radically new lineup, with hybrid cars coming soon in accordance with the brand’s Direzione Cor Tauri program. The ambitious strategic plan involves Lamborghini’s highest-ever investment at over $1.9 billion, as the Fighting Bull brand moves from combustion engines to hybrids, and eventually to fully-electric vehicles. The foundation has already been laid for this change to begin, with the legendary Aventador having said its final goodbye to the automotive world, and the V10-powered Huracan, after the introduction of the Huracan Tecnica and Huracan Sterrato off-road model, to surely follow soon. The popular Urus Super SUV has evolved, with the introduction of the Urus Performante and Urus S, and with 2023 ahead, all of Lamborghini’s new and upcoming models are sure to continue the brand’s amazing success.

The New Lamborghini "The Engine Songs V8" Spotify Playlis...

Lamborghini’s latest powertrain can be music to your ears. The introduction of the Lamborghini Urus marked a turning point for the brand, as it saw the introduction of a twin-turbocharged V8 engine to the brand’s lineup of powerplants. In its short time within Lamborghini’s lineup, the Urus has achieved an incredible reputation with its popularity, performance, and Lamborghini luxury and style. The introduction of the Urus S and Urus Performante this year opens the next chapter for the Super SUV’s legacy, and as Lamborghini celebrates its cars and their engines at this critical time in the brand’s history, the V8 is honored with one of Lamborghini’s Engine Songs Spotify playlists. MUST READ: Lamborghini Huracan STO Review: A Proper Race Car for the Road The playlists are created by scientifically breaking down the engine note using artificial intelligence until musical notes can be discerned, with a process similar to the one the human brain does with sounds. After that, the notes are matched to curated songs, which musically take the listener on a journey from idling to cruising, and eventually to the high RPM of performance driving. Lamborghini describes the V8 as “rhythmical and deep,” relating its note to the sound of drums. The twin-turbo V8 is paired with songs like “Un Gitano Perdido” by Gabriel Dominguez, “Boogie Fever,” and “Is My Love Enough?” by White Lies. In the new “The Engine Songs: Let’s Talk V8” video interview about the playlist, music producer Alex Trecarichi and Mauro Mautone, vehicle coordinator for Lamborghini NHV, talk about driving the Urus Performante with its curated songs in the background, and in turn show that the playlist, like the Super SUV itself, uses technology, science, and engineering to cultivate passion.
