When you go to a Barrett-Jackson auction, you see a lot of exotic cars. Ferrari fan? You’re in the right place. McLaren enthusiast? You’ll like what you see. The same is true if you’re a Lamborghini aficionado. Should you happen to spot this 2022 Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae (Lot #1383) at the Barrett-Jackson 2025 Scottsdale Auction taking place January 18-26, consider yourself lucky. The Italian supercar company only produced 350 coupes to mark the end of Aventador production.
For the design of the swan-song series of Aventadors, Lamborghini Centro Stile chose “a harmonious balance of shapes, accentuated by a use of light and shade between the black and painted parts.” In this case, the carbon fiber roof and black lower-body panels serve to make the Viola Pasifae finish even more mesmerizing. The cockpit is draped in a combination of carbon fiber, black Alcantara with a laser-cut Y-shaped motif, black leather, and gold highlights.
Of course, Lamborghini also commemorated the end of the road for its last non-hybrid V12 cars with a bump in power. The 6.5-liter V12 under that louvered glass cover produces 769 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque, which made the it “the highest-performing standard-production naturally aspirated V12 engine in Lamborghini history” at the time, according to the automaker. Channeled through a quick-shifting ISR (Independent Shifting Rods) seven-speed automated manual gearbox and a Haldex all-wheel drive system, that output enables the Ultimae to blast to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds and top out at 220 mph.
Luckily, when this piece of Lamborghini history crosses the auction block at WestWorld of Scottsdale later this month, it won’t be going that fast, leaving time for someone to place the winning bid.
