The Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 is the Italian automaker’s ultimate track-focused hypercar and in this video, the company walks us through some of its most important details.
Built by Lamborghini’s Squadra Corse racing division, the Essenza SCV12 is capped at just 40 units worldwide and is similar in philosophy to the XX-branded models from Ferrari. As such, it isn’t street legal and can only be used on the track.
Powering the car is a screaming V12 pumping out 830 hp that’s mated to an Xtrac six-speed sequential transmission. Further adding to the appeal of the SCV12 is the fact that it uses a new-generation carbon fiber monocoque to keep the weight down, resulting in a 1.66 PS/kg power-to-weight ratio.

In this clip, Lamborghini discusses all of the innovative features of the Essenza with one of the most intriguing being the steering wheel. From the wheel, drivers can adjust all kinds of modes and play around with things like the ABS, traction control, differential and preload, the clutch, and various engine mapping settings.
The exterior styling of the SCV12 is unlike any other Lamborghini. Key areas of the outside include a hood with two large air vents that separate hot airflow coming from the radiator and funnel cold air to the roof scoop. The limited-run Lamborghini also includes an adjustable rear wing and a huge diffuser.
Finally, buyers of the Essenza SCV12 will receive free storage at a hangar that’s being built at the company’s factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy.
