Track-oriented use and exclusive racing contents
Lamborghini Squadra Corse unveils the SC18, the first one-off in the history
of the Sant’ Agata Bolognese motorsport division. The unique example,
designed in synergy with the customer and Centro Stile Lamborghini, is road
approved but designed primarily for use on the track. The SC18 paves the
way to further personalized development projects for motorsport customers
under the Squadra Corse brand.
The car features extreme aerodynamics, developed specifically for this model
and derived from Squadra Corse’s experience in competition. The racing
elements start from the front hood, with air intakes in the style of the Huracán
GT3 EVO; the sides and rear feature fenders, fins and airscoops are inspired by
the Huracán Super Trofeo EVO. The aerodynamic system is completed by a
large carbon fiber wing with three mechanical adjustments, able to generate
the optimal downforce on any circuit. In addition, the twelve air intakes
formed on the rear hood - a solution already tested successfully in endurance
races - increase heat exchange and improve the cooling of the V12 engine.
The powertrain is top-of-the-line Lamborghini, delivering the performance of
a true racing car: the aspirated 6498 cm3 V12 delivers 770 hp at 8,500 rpm and
a torque of 720 Nm at 6,750 rpm, all handled via the ISR (Independent Shifting
Rod) optimized seven-speed gearbox. The huge power is combined with
reduced weight thanks to the use of ultralight materials and the new carbon
fiber body, with ground clearance of just 109 mm. The rear is characterized by
the specific exhausts and terminals with a unique design and sound.
The exclusiveness of the SC18 is underlined by the color of the carbon fiber
body in the Grigio Daytona (grey), with visible details and red screen-printing
to enhance its sportiness. The cockpit features interiors in Nero Ade (black)
Alcantara with cross-stitching in Rosso Alala (red), and carbon fiber bucket
seats. The look is completed by the single nut wheels, 20” on the front and
21” on the rear, with specially developed Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires and a
telemetry system to measure all aspects of performance on the track.
